The Snack Den

[Firox]

*next day*
*Linette gets spinach ready for a tasty spinach and tuna casserole*
*goes with Zoran and Flower into town to get a few ingredients not in den - does tell Sherrie something, she nods*

[?]

*yawns and relaxes *

[Firox]

*I looks down* "hai..."
*I drink a small lemonade slushy*


*as soon as Linette arrives along with Zoran and Flower, they finish topping the food - Firox bakes one and Flower bakes the other casserole*

[?]

* waves * hello there 

[Firox]

*I nod, pass a nice big sip of the slushie*


*as ? takes a sip, Firox calls out to ?*
"would you like a cheesy tuna casserole, or would you like a spinach veggie casserole? we also made a tasty sauce and garlic bread"


*Firox remembers what I offered last time, and copies me*
"if you likes, we can give half and half portion, a bit of both so you can try them out"


*the 6 youngest are already in front of me, excited, fast tail wags, waiting for some as the air does smell good*
*yep, all made enough for all to grab a big plate and nearly grab seconds*

[?]

cheese tuna please * happily waits to eat*

[Firox]

*Firox fills the bowl with the casserole, puts a bigger plate below with four big slices of garlic bread, adds tasty cheese sauce on top, not nacho cheese, more of a thicker sauce that goes well with the pasta and crunchy breadcrumbs*
*cheese is a blend of three cheeses that melt and make long funny strands - not including the cheese sauce on top*

*for the tuna? its not "canned tuna" actual fillets baked in the oven, when ready, it as cut into strips and layered into the casserole - Firox even took the time to remove the scales, fillet the fish, devein and debone the fish all by paw, even doubled and tripled check to make sure it was safe to eat*


*as you can imagine... Jyo instantly goes with the same cheesy tuna casserole*
*this time the 6 sit next to Jyo and Sherrie to enjoy the meal*




*Vay offers ?* "have various juices, coffees, and teas to pick from - what can I get you?"

[?]

thanks ya * happily starts to enjoy the food*

lemonade please

[Firox]

*Vay pours lemonade for ?*


*all of us let ? eat - no use in 'challenging' if everyone is hungry and eating too*
*I go with both*
*Vay, Linette, Sherrie, and Flower all go with the Veggie option*
*rest go with cheesy tuna casserole*


*after a bit Joseph goes out to bakery to grab three desserts, returns with them, for now keeps eating*




*Firox nods and tells ?* "your welcomed, enjoy it all"

[?]

*nods * thank you * keeps happily eating and drinking*

[Firox]

*Arval, giggles, silly foxy, just being itself... brings out 3 packages of bacon and starts to get pan ready... but Firox offered to crispy them, adds a nice big selection*
*then Arval offers bacon to all.... Joseph and Firox take some*
*then approaches ?* "hey ?, would you like some crispy bacon on the casserole?"
*the two 'boy Vees' also take some bacon, going to make them as if loving it too*


*Joseph lays down dessert in front of ? - choice of berry pie, cheesecake, or chocolate chip muffins*
"hey ?, how about skipping the bacon and going straight to dessert?"
*grins at Arval*
*Arval lays down the bacon on a separate bowl*


*both playfully paw at and nibble each other, to see who gets to win*
*I whisper to ?, nip a slice of bacon and then leap into dessert, that way you has both*

[?]

* nods * sure sounds good * happily pounces dessert aswell*   

[Firox]

*not to worry, Joseph brought plenty dessert for all, for now it's playfully 'play fighting' with Arval over bacon and dessert*


*? getting a funny front row seat with dessert to the silly 'battle'*
*I'm watching so do I*


*everyone else still a bit back*

[?]

*giggles as I watch n eat*

[Firox]

*I do the same*


*this time, Joseph was a bit faster, 'pins down' Arval, both look over as ? noms dessert, doesn't know that it had bacon earlier*
*once more Joseph looks up triumphantly* "won again"
*Arval nods calls it defeat, smiles when it looks at the small bowl empty of bacon*


*I giggle whisper to ?* "looks like competitive rematch for your next time"
*I blow a little bit of cold air by head tuft, that spot between both ears*
