A Celebration for Nell

[mylandmyrules]

Nell had tried something a little different for dinner tonight. She'd made a large, and hopefully tasty, vegetable stir fry and had stir-fried some beef in a different pan so those wanting meat could have some. She also had homemade sourdough bread, salad, and a vegetable broth based soup to start the meal.

The apartment was spic and span, the cats were happily curled up on their cat trees, for however long that would last, and she thought she was prepared as she could be for her first ever birthday celebration. Now to wait somewhat anxiously for her guests.



[For those who know who they are.]

“Agreed,” Watts nodded. And honestly… she probably wasn’t wrong, about that second thing.

[mylandmyrules]

Not wrong at all, no.

"Shall we go have some dinner?" Nell suggested. "I tried something new."

[pocketpretzels]

"You needn't ask me twice," Watts said, heavily food-motivated creature that he was. "What did you make?"

[mylandmyrules]

"It's a sort of a stir-fry thing?" she said. "With lots of vegetables and a slightly spicy sauce. And there's meat to stir-fry separately to add in for those who want it."

Not to mentiom the bread and salad.

"Oh and a nice light soup with a vegetable broth to start."

"Well, I've not been disappointed by anything you've made yet," Watts pointed out. "So I've high hopes."

[mylandmyrules]

Nell laughed. "Me too."

[pocketpretzels]

"Suppose if all else fails there's takeout," Watts suggested, blasphemous as that was. Or they could go with Steven's suggestion of just eating cake and ice cream.

[mylandmyrules]

Nell laughed. "We can order pizza."

Though just eating cake and ice cream definitely would be a better choice.

[pocketpretzels]

Raiden did excellent pizza, though! Even the vegan ones!

"Nothing wrong with a good pizza, but I'm sure it won't come to that," Watts said.

[mylandmyrules]

"Nothing wrong with it at all," Nell said. "I've ordered one from Pizza Planet several times and they've all been delicious."

Even the one that she'd barely been able to eat her first night back as she'd told Marc about her nine years away.

"But I'm hoping you'll think My food is quite good in any case."
