*I grab a mocha, coffee with chocolate on it*
*Joseph whispers to ?* "how come Vees keep winning at games?"

[?]

[Firox]

*Joseph insists again* "what's the secreeeee...."
*Jyo pulls Joseph away with psychic so ? can enjoy meal*
*refills orange juice*


*for now I starts to read to all, Grace and Firox help put, we each read a page*


*even if not finished with waffels, Bay passes ? A few cinnamon rolls for dessert*

[?]

*giggles more n stretches then starts to enjoy cinnamon rolls*

[Firox]

*I read a page, then Firox next up*


*Vay picks up empty plates and cups, sets up ? sleeping area*
"Have good nap"
*sets up so it can lay down and hear the book being read*

[?]

*nods* thanks ya ^^ *happily relaxes*

[Firox]

*reading goes on, should make ? slowly sleeping - relaxed and full belly - they did stop after a while when all the Eevees slept cozy*

*Arval and Aycan volunteer to keep guard over all nine sleeping Vees*

*Vay takes the rest to grab ingredients for feast*
*will get all to help cook it - they are saving it for the Mother's Day feast*


-- same afternoon --
*Vay convinces Kim Myong-Chol 김명철 to come visit, as Jyo would love something with seafood, lets her know about sushi, simple to make, and if all follow his instruction, all can have lots of sushi, he has all ingredients ready*


*about 20 minutes later, Vay gathers all around to help make sushi, while Kim arrives and gets set up, passing all a bamboo rolling mat, and shows us all, even I'm making some too, amount of rice that goes on the mat, nori sheet, and how much to fill the rolls with seafood and veggies and toppings on some, and finally how to cut them all into five even pieces - and how to form the nigiri too*
*in a way, most of us did good, except for some of Joseph and Firox cutting, and the first two rollings of Jyo and Grace... with some practice and advice from Kim, all improved*
*made really good rolls*




*I go over to gently tap and shake ? hoping it wakes soon*


*giggles and grins - ready for the short visit*

[?]

*yawns n mostly relaxes*

[Firox]

*once I see ? awake, I whisper in ears* "haaaiii"
*in happy voice*


*I then ask* "would you like some fishie meal? Kim showed us how to make fresh sushi, here ya go, I made them"

*as I pass the ? nice big plate with 5 different kinds with 5 pieces each, none spicy, they aren't small, but good sized pieces too - total of 20 pieces*


*Vay passes ? its favorite juice*

[?]

*nods* sure, thank ya * starts to enjoy*

[Firox]

*Aycan admits to Kim that - as they sit next to ?, Arval also enjoys its own plate - so ? can hear while listening to Aycan and Kim speak*
"I had sushi twice before from a grocery store, it was an awful horrible experience, rice tasted old and plasticky feel to it and the fish filling so dry, veggies tasted sour, but this taste so fresh and super tasty, how come?"


*Kim smiles and nods*
"thanks you - I heard the same too, could be that the ones the grocery stores carry are mass produced, frozen and ship to stores, so it loses flavor and most important freshness"
*as Kim makes another few more rolls*
"In my restaurant we make it fresh every day, each rice is made the same day, none of it is left over, the little bit  left over I take home and finish it.... our fish is fresh caught, we have a good sized fishing farm for tuna and salmon behind the restaurants, we also share it with other restaurants, vegetables are bought fresh from the farmer's market, enjoy it"

*then tells Vay* "go ahead and keep the six bamboo mats so you can make fresh sushi at other times, already showed all how to make it - the Espeon is enjoying it"

*as ? can see - Jyo made more for him, he was the one that wanted sea food, he made various sushi with various cuts of sea food, even one with eel*

*same with the rest, we are getting good at making them*
*Joseph and Grace made the spicy tuna rolls for themselves*
*Vay and I made some veggie style rolls, without fish in them to try*


*passes ? and all eight Vees another fresh made tuna roll, cut into five pieces, and some strawberry pocky for dessert*
*Kim heads out, tells Aycan and Arval* "come on over next time so you can try more fresh food"
*tells everyone, even ?* "bye everyone"

[?]

* waves by as well while getting around to finishing the sushi then moves on to the pocky*

[Firox]

*I'm sure ? can tell how fresh it is, if the fish almost 'melts in mouth" freshness*
*the eight Vees also finish main meal and move on to pocky dessert*


*after eating so much sushi, Jyo lays down behind ?, passes his dessert to ?, another pack of strawberry pocky*
"I'm so stuffed, can't nom anymore, that ? wins"
*lays down on it's side*   
*falls asleep in place, it might have eaten too much*


*rest*
*Vay enjoys her, loved both the veggie roll and tuna rolls*
*Joseph can't get enough of the spicy mayo tuna rolls*
*Firox also had 8 rolls, loved the eel rolls*
*Arval and Aycan are feeding each other various rolls*
*Jyo is passed out behind ?, super stuffed, must have had about 15 rolls*   
*Zoran and myself we had about 6 each, we are feeling OK*
*Grace and Iordan also nom the rolls they made - Grace spicy rolls, while Iordan tried out the various seafood, non spicy*
*Sherrie, she had lots, already on her 9th roll, she made also one of each*


*you can say on his way back to restaurant, Kim stopped at Sylvee's and !'s den to make them some sushi too, and leave Strawberry Pocky dessert, waves bye to both - so they can have fresh food*

[?]

*starts to settle down with all*


*sylvess thanks for the food*

[Firox]

*only Jyo passed out first*
*rest are still up*


*after the meal, Arval and Aycan also give ? their dessert, so in a way ? now has three more closed packs of strawberry Pocky for midnight snack*   
*both of them go over and play games with the eight Vees to pass the time*


*? can just curl behind and lay down with the kitty to nap, his already sleeping*
*from the way ? had the sushi, they weren't small rolls, this where nice and big, so for rest - 6 rolls enough to be satisfied, 7 to be full, 8 to have full belly - Jyo had 15*   
*Sherrie barely finished her 9th and can't nom anymore*
"have a safe rest ?, will take you down..." *burps*   
"... next time, pardon me" *covers maw with ribbons*
