Curses, missed a shot at getting someone else to do the grocery shopping. Stupid body and its stupid napping tendencies. (Incidently, how long am I going to be doing the sleeping every three hours thing, Doc? Amanda? I'm taking a random guess and saying it has to do with replacing energy, yeah?)

Right. So despite Em's trip to the market for essentials of foodage, I have discovered that I'm still woefully understocked on some of the stuff I use regularly. Man does not live on peanut butter and bread alone, at least not if I can help it. So, I will be taking a short trip following classes tomorrow, no more than a few hours tops and to boring places to boot (speciality food shops) but I'm going to offer to take along people anyway. I'm not, however, taking errand requests. You want something, come along.

I feel like I'm forgetting something...

Oh right.

Nice to be back among the living.

I think _not_.

Don't we have servants for that sort of thing?

MdlR

No.

Grocery shopping is fun. We'll get you cookies if you go.

Such a silly mood today, I am in.

We should just pay someone to do all of this for us. This way, we won't run out of things we need.

The first sign of a poorly-managed household is inadequate supplies.

MdlR

Why waste the money getting someone to do it for us when we can go ourselves?

It is more fun that way, besides. How do you know if there are new flavours of crisps if you don't see them at the store?

It is not my _job_ to know what flavours of crisps there are in the store. That's what domestics are for. Their job is to anticipate our needs and satisfy them before we're aware that they exist.

A good servant is a treasure.

*sigh* Save me from the middle class.

MdlR

You are missing the point. It is more fun to go to the store, see that they have Guacamole Flavoured Doritos and decide that, yes, you might like to try those, just the once.

But, if you do not want to go, more cookies for me, then.

Are they out yet!?!? I want to try those! :D

Do they go with Mountain Dew, is the question. Because Doritos that don't go with Mountain Dew are abomination.

They were at the store the last time I was there, so I think so. I am reluctant to try them, because I am not sure I know what a Guacamole is*, and it has mole in it, which is a furry brown creature.

* I think it is an avacado dip?

It is the avocado dip! You've not had any yet?

...

We're getting you proper dip while we're out shopping. Or the makings of. Lorna can make a killer guacamole dip, I've no doubt. :D

Avocados aren't in season right now. That being said, I'll check into getting some from an orchard near my parents house. That might have a few that aren't wholly worthless.

*makes googly eyes at you*

Hey, you want fruits that only grow when the weather is suited to them, you're making googly eyes at the wrong girl. I can only make you metal fruit sculptures.

Sorry, sweetie, it's the servants' decade off.

From the way you're talking it sounds like you would be a wonderful candidate for my special remedial cooking class. Shinobi gave me the idea. I think I shall subtitle it "So Rich I'd Starve If Left Alone"

~translated from the Castillian~

I lived on the streets for a few years. I call it the "I'm an empath, feed me please!" diet.

~translated from the Castillian~

MdlR

Just so I'm clear...you're saying you can't cook, right?

~translated from the Castillian~

That's exactly what I'm saying. Growing up, we had Cook, and when I was on my own, I managed to convince people to prepare me food. The asylum fed me when they absolutely had to. And now that I'm here, someone around here does the cooking.

~translated from the Castilian~

MdlR

Okay then. Remedial cooking for you, it is.

And "someone does the cooking" in most cases, is whomever is planning on doing the eating. Except in my case. I'll happily cook for anyone who asks but it is in no way my responsibility.

Fair enough.

MdlR

Great! So when would be a good time to start your lessons? I was about to head down to start dinner--want to watch and learn?

They haven't figured it out yet, have they?

*grins*

Shhhh! No spoiling the fun.

Tomorrow then? I was thinking of making omelettes for breakfast. *is never going to give up, just so you know*
