The Snack Den

[?]

night night there *Rest after a bit* 

[Firox]

*next day*


*I get up, Mia still holding ta I l*
*Vay gets up, looking around, big stretching yawn*

[?]

*yawns realxes mostly for now* 

[Firox]

*Vay comes over, gives ? a quick clean with a warmth damp towel* 
*smiling and giggling*
"morning to you"


*before I can unwrap Mia from my tail to get up*
*all 6 are up, sitting next to Vay and ?*

[?]

good moring there  *keeps relaxing*

[Firox]

*before Vay can ask ?, what it likes*
*Mia and Vee come up from each of ?'s side, give the stretching paw a cute warm hug*

*then turn to Vay trying to explain best they can a meal they like to eat again*
Mia "it has cheese, super tasty"
Vee "curled pasta, so soft and tasty"
Mia "it can spread easy"
Vee "nommed so easy"
Mia "fun to make silly mess"


*Vay listens carefully, getting the idea of what it is, then tells ?*
"I think they are trying to describe Mac N' cheese - it can be simple and fun to make"


*Joseph did look for all needed ingredients, everything there*
*kind of funny that Firox at the moment was making pasta for the planned meal, but will make it the next day*

[?]

*giggles and nods* that sounds tasty

[Firox]

*the two just couldn't remember what it was called*


*Vay nods* "you two its called Macaroni and Cheese, or as we call it easier short name of 'mac n' cheese', Firox change a plan, can you turn into macaroni, will make the lasagna next day, if its OK with you?"

*Firox nods* "that sounds fun, will get it going"
*since lasagna was planned, lots of cheese was shredded and ready*
*pasta just about done, so with Joseph, Arval, Linette, Zoran, Vay, and myself helping out*


*in less than den time 20 minutes - with five helping, lots of pasta made*
*Vay knowing Scald, boiling hot water ready in an instant, pasta doesn't take long to cook*
*of course Arval making bacon, along with Firox help for heat*


*while that takes place, we make three different kinds of 'mac n' cheese' - the typical one "Kraft like" that the six younger ones love, and of course, two more 'grown up' flavors macaroni and sharp cheddar*
*one with 'fancier named' cheeses and ingredients gruyere, smoked white cheddar, and truffles, along with spinach*
*and of course, the third is mostly for Arval and Tony triple cheese and bacon*


*I head out to grab some biscuits and fried chicken to add*




*Sherrie keeps ?, Mia, and Vee happy while the cooking takes place*
*picking up all three, going from bigger Vee to another so all can see, and smell*

[?]

*nods and happily relaxes for now as I watch them cook*

[Firox]

(was just making something to eat, some quesadillas)


*while almost done, Vay puts a little of the 'Kraft' style mac n cheese on three small breads, passes one to ?, Mia, and Vee so all can get a taste, yep, creamy and cheesy like its supposed to taste like, each pasta filled, and even added extra shredded cheese make that long silly strands*
*the other four Vees? they are watching and smelling from the safety of the couch*


*once the pasta cooked, the cheese and ingredients melted*
*Vay mixes the 'Kraft' style mac n cheese*
*Arval mixes the bacon mac n cheese*
*Joseph mixes the fancy mac n cheese*


*I arrive with the chicken, biscuits, and cole slaw*


*Sherrie asks ? on her head* "which mac n cheese would you like ?"
*Jyo takes out all the plates, lines them up for filling*




*as the rest pick what they like, I gives all other bigger Vees three big pieces of crispy chicken, nice big scoop of cole slaw, and four biscuits*
*for the six young, similar, nice big piece of crispy chicken, nice size scoop of cole slow, and two biscuits*
*mac n cheese takes up half the plate*
"enjoy it everyone"




*all of us start nomming*
*as typical, Tony messier of all eaters*

[?]

I'll just take bacon please  * happily sits up a little*   

[Firox]

*I prepare the plate - bacon prepared mac n cheese, with the crispy bacon, four biscuits, and if ? wants veggies (cole slaw) I'll add some - I take the plate to eating area*
*Sherrie sets ? down*


*in this area, Tony, Mia and Vee - along with Arval, Jyo, Joseph, and myself sit in the same area*
*Tony comes out, leaps down, onto my tail, getting cheese all over it, asking nicely for more biscuits*
*it gets sticky - Vay passes more of the tasty bread*

[?]

thanks ya there * happily starts to eat*   

[Firox]

*chicken is boneless, no need to worry about bones - made in such a way that is super moist, tender, and juicy inside - but the outside has a nice crunchy taste to it, so in a way kind of "chicken tenders shaped into chicken wings" - I nod, watch as all eat, I turn around trying to lick off the cheese before it sticks to tail fur*




*as usual, Vay passes everyone this time choice between mango juice or fruit punch (tasty berry juice mix)*

[?]

*happily keeps enjoying the tasty chickens as well*
