The Snack Den

[Firox]

"?!! nuu settle down yet... come helpzz"
*I say in laughter voice - as Grace still nibbles my tail like i was pestering her's earlier*


*to be funny - Seth tells me in a funny voice* "Jyo, carpet is not a scratching post"


*Joseph laughs at hearing the Flarey*
*settles down next to ?*
"who will go down first, or will it be a 3vs 1? either way we will win it"

[?]

*yawns n keeps watching* will let em battle  *starts to nap soon*

[Firox]

*Firox and Joseph settle down and start to nap*


*About 15 more minutes of nibbling and 'grooming' licking with icy tongue, Grace let's me up* 
"that was fun, can't wait for the next time"


*I hiss playfully, wrapping my own tail under chin to warm up the cold spots*




*good nap too*

[?]

*yawns and relaxes for a little bit*

[Firox]

*sorry if I missed you*
*over slept from two long work days*




*Grace happily leaps on Joseph hearing good news*

[?]

( no worries, may be bit shorter today ^^ )

*listens to the others in den*

[Firox]

(thanks, hopefully able to stay for 3 more replies at least, got them all ready to share)

*Grace is still jumping up and down on top of Joseph... suddenly on the 8th or so jump, he rolls a bit and makes Grace fall on the carpet floor*
“heey, get back here stupid foxy... sorry”
*Joseph is answering the door, inving Zhang inside, as Firox, Linette, and Zoran have all set up for easy time*
*Vay came to help too, using her 'Scald' added lots of super hot boiling water to a pot, then Zhang carefully adds bamboo mat on top, with plenty of room for Vay to add more water, then using color codded steamer baskets, ads stacks of 10 on top of the bamboo mat so the heat can 'steam' the dumplings, while he gets ready*

*Grace hearing ? Getting up, decides to mess around with them*
“?!! ?!! ?!! ?!! ?!! ?!!”
*for about a minute or two non stop saying their name*

*wait for ? To wake and react to bothering Glaceon*

[?]

*looks over at Grace* huh? 

[Firox]

*she's happy, reason for pestering*
Grace tells  ?: "it's dumpling day, I love them"



*as Zhang adds lots of chicken to a wok, and having the seasoning ready, ? can look over at the sound of sizzling meat, should be able to tell that Linette and Zoran are using a juicing machine each to take out the orange juice from about 24 or so oranges each (about 50 oranges in total), and a strainer to take out orange pulp... ?'s brain should tell it 'orange chicken being prepared'*


*Once ready, both Linette and Zoran add te juice into a much bigger bowl, and Zhang asks one of them to mix it into the seasoning... which Zoran does, as Linette opens up the container with sesame seeds*


*once ? comes over to watch, can see that Zhang is now showing off, adding the sauce to the wok, using chopsticks in right paw, an flipping the wok with left paw to toss the chicken and mix with the sauce, and then adds sesame seeds and mixes again, intentionally adding a few drops of oil to the single burner stove, again to show off, tossing the chicken and the oil causing the fire to shoot a bit up like they do in fancy Chinese restaurants, just for show*


“almost ready Eevee”
*Zang doesn't remember ?'s name*


*Zhang next up adds nice big amount of the orange chicken into a bowl, sets it up on another bigger platter, Zhang picks up two baskets with orange color on them, adds the dumplings on a serving plate, tells ?*
“Vaporeon, Vay, tells me you love spinach too... how about this dumpling creation I made – its pork, bok choy, and spinach dumplings, how are they?”


*? should be able to tell, the dumpling skin is so soft and thin, pork mixture inside so tasty and juicy, even the soft veggies of bok choy and spinach aren't too over powering either... a bit of surprise, that the dumplings also have some broth inside – once the ? fangs pierce the dumplings, maw should get a nice big tasty filling of dumpling broth, then the tasty filling of pork and veggies come next*


*of course the amount of orange chicken was too much for ? Alone, it made enough for about 12 bowls, passes one to each other Eeveelution, some like Joseph, Grace, Arval, and even Sherrie requested something a bit spicier, they got the Genertal Tsao chicken instead*


*wait for ? To reply*

[?]

*happily starts to nom some* yummy!

[Firox]

*I use psychic powers to move the plate to ?'s favorite eating area, where Vay has prepared it a tasty mango-passion fruit bubble tea (term is boba tea, the funny tea drink with the squishy soft pearls inside)*


“enjoy it”
*Zhang smiles, for starters, when ? is walking to it's eating area, can see the younger Vees already have their plates of orange chicken and dumplings – watching a cartoon movie*


*for the orange chicken: ? Can tell that the outside of the chicken is very crunchy, but somehow the inside of the chicken is very soft, and juicy, and the outside orange glaze sticks to every chicken piece*


*once ? reaches it's favorite eating area, can see that all who wanted orange chicken and dumplings are also getting settled in, finding place to lay down to eat – Seth turns on the TV and finds an movie to watch, “Ghostbusters 2”*


*wait for ? to reply*






*now that ? nommed, Grace can start, quickly devours 4 baskets worth of dumplings, she has a spicy ginger soy sauce for dipping*
*rest of us giggle as we look over*

[?]

*giggles while watching n also messes with the tv remote* 

[Firox]

*rest of us, including me, on the couch kind of giving silly complaints to ? for changing channels*


 


*I use psychic to try and 'take the remote' too*

[?]

*playfully holds on tight to the remote*

[Firox]

*I get to 'carry' ? along with the remote*

*Joseph is saying bye to Zhang for coming*
*Arval is taking some food to Sherrie, Aycan, and Fleur*




*Robyn and Elise even try throwing a piece of orange chicken at ?*
