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.]

"How many?" Lana blinked. "They're all the same fruit, how many differences can there be?"

Watts shrugged. "A lot of them are man-made," he said. "Via breeding for desirable traits until they're far enough removed from the original that they're declared an entirely new variety."

"What sorts of traits do they breed for?" Lana asked. "Juiciness or sweetness?"

"Also things like resistance to disease, or ability to thrive in different climates," Watts said.

"Ah, that makes sense." Lana nodded. "Still, that's so many varieties! Do they all taste different in wine?"
