- YAWN \* _The grass is green and ankle deep The ex and the kids are gone for the day Lady winter has gone to sleep The birds and bunnies are begging to play._ Lessee now, barrel of ice goes over here under the lilac trees _urph __grunt_ _urph_ keg of _Snake Dog IPA_ I think should go first, it’s not too bad at room temp _Hep!_ _Scrornch_, we’ll do the _Old Scratch_ or _Single Track_ later this afternoon. Good, now where’s that tap … _rattle rattle__ Clink_ Ah! _Pfsst_ _Inigo takes a tap hit, just to get the foam out of the lines, you see._ OK, got water in the 50-gallon cauldron, light the fire _FWOOMP_ mental not to not use gasoline to start a cooking bonfire. What the? The cupboard is bare! Not even a soda cracker! Hm…well I got this piece of Columbia bassalt. It’s a little hard but I bet if I boiled it for long enough it’d soften right up and make a nice broth. _Sploosh_ _Inigo takes another tap hit and sits back in the canvas lawn chair, watering the butterfly garden_ ---

Hey there, I thought I smelled chicken and onions steaming and figured I’d stop by to see wha… Is that ale you’re drinking? Snake Dog huh, sure I’d like to try it. Only I don’t have a glass, all I have are these two bottles of cheap Chardonnay. I’ll just dump them in the pot and fill up the bottles with the sweet hoppy goodness. Thank you, thank you very much. ---

Somehow I knew **Kyth** would be here first. Oh and **nd\_n8** , so sorry I forgot to put the cups out! I’ll just run inside and see what I can find. Meanwhile, Kythereia has some good-sized cups she might lend you. mmmm…onions… ---

This soup should not be half bad, we got the onions, the chicken, the nice dry wine and now some herbage. Any body bring some tunes? ::Stops to admire Kythereia’s cups:: How _you_ doin’? ---

Just took the cheesecake out of the oven . . . it needs to cool for a bit. Tastes best at room temperature, anyway. ---

I’d rather not put that Sangria in my cups, if you don’t mind. 😉 What about veggies? I’ve got some tomatoes out back. ---

That smells pretty yummy, but know what? I have some extra carrots in my garden. You can’t have a soup without some veggies, so I’ll chop up some of my carrots and put them in. _does so_ ---

[Monty Python]“It’s just a little bunny…” [/Monty Python] Hey, I have some meat tenderizer if you want to try tenderizing your rock, it might work on bassalt. Although I know some people really enjoy that satisfying crunchiness when their rocks are al dente.
