The Snack Den

[?]

*nods and comes on over, greeting as they come in*

[Firox]

*Leafy left on back, pawing at the air, quickly rolls back onto paws, and heads where all are*


*Vay sits all the Vees in a way they can watch - some sit behind the Vees*



*Vay is doing the more vegan option, so 1/3rd less meat*
*Firox is doing the normal amount*
*Grace is doing the spicy version*
*all three follow Kim's example*

Spoiler for noodles:

*Kim* "first thing we will do is cook the noddles in boiling water, should take about 3 minutes, thanks to this noodle cooker we can cook multiple noodles at once and keep them separated, like so"

*it does look like a acup with draining holes, so small that the water can get through, but noodles can't come out*

"while the noodles cook, in each bowl we add a good amount of steamed rice"


*all of us do so*


"remember to have the hot pan ready, as soon as we take out the noodles, we will quickly toss them with the Japchae sauce until fully coated, we will add them to the top of the rice"


*once the noodles cook, easy draining, all of the 'chefs' quickly toss the noodles into the pan, sizzling sound fills the air, nose twitch when the sauce meets the noodles, the sauce drips in to the rice below*

Spoiler for eggs and meat:

Kim: "good thing the meat is sliced thin, so it won't take long, first thing we need to do is take the dry Korean spices, and beat them into 2 eggs, since we are making for many, we will use 6 eggs, and fold them so it resembles long sheets of tastiness"


*showing us how to make the fancy looking eggs, and how to cut them into strips*

"finally its the meat, on high heat we add Japchae sauce first, once it starts to sizzle"

*as we wait maybe a minute*

"we add the meat and quickly stir or it might stick"
*the chefs do so"

Spoiler for forming bowl:

Kim: "the last step i to add the meat carefully on top of the noodles, and finally we add the strips of the eggs, and carefully position all on top of the noodles, letting the tasty meat flavor and sauce drain into the noodles and rice below, enjoy it everyone"


*the ones that Vay, Firox, and Grace made look good... the ones that Kim professionally made for ? and theh younger ones look more like an open petal rose, carefully position... kind of "too pretty to eat", but still smells so good*

*the bowl that Kim made is for the Vees is not spicy at all, so they can enjoy it*
*all eight Vees get a nice big bowl*
*? gets a slightly bigger bowl*
"enjoy"
*as Kim enjoys a bowl wit all of us*


*Vay and Linette pass out the drinks, either lemonade, fruit punch, or tea*

[?]

*nods* thanks ya * happily starts to enjoy*

[Firox]

*its the first time all six, Ethan, and Fiona had a 'professionally' made Korean meal, not spicy at all, but full of flavor*


*the others behind ?, pass a bowl to everyone, so all of us enjoying the meal*


*even if some get messy, all enjoy it*
*I add a bit of extra hot sauce to mine, enough to flavor not burn*
*Enis looks over at Kim pouring something, asks curiiously*
'what is that?"


*Kim smiles* "its spicy veggies called Kimchi"

[?]

*happily keeps eating enjoying the flavors* ^^

[Firox]

*Kim to all* "thanks for trying it"


*even if the bowls looked small to the eight Vees, it was a lot, all got full with just one bowl*
*Vay, Grace, and Arval grab some kimchi as well*
*Vay* "thanks for coming"
*as all of us give thanks for the meal*
*Kim nods before heading out the door*


*as soon is its out, I reach over to try to shock ?... but Vay gets to me first*
"swetie dear, can you go out and get all the dessert"
*I nod and head on out*

[?]

*waves as they head out then looks to dessert*

[Firox]

*Vay picks up all of the empty bowls, tells ?*
"Joseph will be back soon with dessert"
*helps clean all the Vees from the spilling of food*
*some giggle as it tickles*


*I'm sure similar with ?, when Vay tries to clean up the sticky sauce on paws and chin*


-- den time 25 minutes later --
*I arrive carrying six boxes*
*two boxes have 24 muffins each thats 48 muffins, mixed - 12 peanut butter, 12 chocolate chip, 12 lemon poppy seed, and 12 blueberries*
*two boxes have various cookies in them - each box holds 30 cookies, thats 60 cookies - 30 chocolate chips, 15 white chocolate macadamia nut, and 15 oatmeal raising cookies*
*the last two boxes have each has a full sized apple pie and chocolate cream pie*
*I tells everyone* "dessert is ready"

[?]

*happily jumps on some dessert, getting all messy while eating*

[Firox]

*Vees follow the same example, nomming, and having fun*
*rest of us grab some that hasn't been crushed*
*Linette goes for the peanut butter cookies*
*I go with the lemon muffins*


*Vay brings milk to everyone*

[?]

*looks around the den to see who is all there*

[Firox]

*everyone is in the den*


*I sit in front of ?* "ready or not...."
*I let a small jolt into nose, enough to tickle not hurt*
"... there it is"

[Firox]

*I laugh* "how was surprise?"
*I nibble the lemon muffin*
