Serenity is quietly gliding toward Whitefall... there are no ships in the vicinity... it's a lovely quiet moment for us all to get together...

the tea is made... there is some chocolate cake left.. who wants to come share some stories or a game of cards?? who is done with their chores in the engine room- the cargo bay... wherever...

hello? Anyone there?

Chindi.. hot steaming mug of tea in hand.. soft lights on the galley table

Walks into the Galley, fills a mug full of tea and grabs a slice of cake. Bites off a mouthful of the cake and washes it down with the tea ....

"Too bad we're out of coffee. Nothing like chocolate cake and strong coffee. So you wanna play cards?"

CHINDI

Sunday, March 5, 2006 3:55 AM

yeah...cards... where are the ruttin cards???? Did Jayne take them???

want to play for chores???

Gorramit! We are missing one of the tall cards! Why doesn't it surprise me that this crew is playing without a full deck? (hee hee hee)

All joking aside, has anyone seen the missing card? Maybe it is hiding under the cake. Better eat it and see :D

Last time I saw that card, River had it. She was looking at it with a puzzled expression and saying something like, "Not rationalizable."

I wish we hadn't run out of coffee, too. I never drink the ruttin' stuff, but it keeps you guys from raiding my stash of tea.

Yeah...good think for you I know how to mash up the protein into something sort of resembling a pancake.

Plus, on our last docking, I traded some of my loot from our last job for a jar of honey!!!! REAL honey! True, it's not maple syrup, but you guy's aren't worth THAT much of my booty!

Anyway, here is the honey I have kept so carefully hidden, and there are planty of "pancakes" to go around!

Pours herself a cup of tea and sits down to the table after a long day.

It's been quiet on the ship today. Not many new recruits. Chindi, thank you for the tea and UnregisteredCompanion, oh, my the pancakes and honey were sublime.

Just plain protein for supper tonight, I suppose.
Kaele is still gone, as she is our usual adventurous cook, we shall have to batch.
No Mudder's Milk either.

Hmmm, where is everyone?

Suppose I'll have to use this opportunity to clean my storeroom.

There's some corn tortillas in the bin, too. Little bit stale but I bet if we steam 'em they'll be fine.

No Mudders Milk, but there's brandy. And not too shabby a brandy at that!

Sorry for the late arrival, but I haven't adjusted to ship time yet.

Running a clean-the-icebox party, are we? Hey, I've got some spice packets stashed in my luggage, and I saw a bag of dried pinto beans pushed into the corner of that pantry yesterday, right behind that old cannister of freeze-dried onion flakes. If we can drum up something tomato-esque, and some beef-flavored protein, I'll whomp up some of my patented burn-your-mouth-off chili.

And... is that tea there Earl Gray? If it is, I've got to get the Missus up. Ain't nothin' my Kansas likes as much as a good cup of Earl Gray.

Gonna take a while for the beans to soak. Anybody here play cribbage?

Thanks, rosemary and oregano will both come in handy, seein' as the only tomato base I could find was some dehydrated tomato soup powder. Still, the beans are simmering nicely now, and there was a bit of chopped bell pepper in the back of the freezer.

But here's the real good news--while I was searching in the freezer, I found a pint bottle of peppermint schnaps, half-covered in frost, but still good.

Maybe we should add "defrost the fridge" to the chores list...

Chili for breakfast. Honestly...

We need some pancakes and a reasonable facsimilie of breakfast meat. I think we've got a sausage-type product in the cupboards here somewhere... Once the syrup's on it, you can't tell that it isn't real sausage anyway.

Earl Grey sounds heavenly. A little caffeine goes a long way. Sure is nice to wake up to a fresh-brewed pot of tea. Whoever did it, thanks. You're hired as assistant cook.

Now, since it's a full crew...summat else for breakfast. Yu Za Kuei (deep fried crullers) sounds pretty good.
