With the help of Mr Hemingway the younger, I was able to catch enough sand bass and crappie (pronounced cropy) to have a good old fashioned Southern fish fry. There will be home fries and collard greens and biscuits and sweet tea and lemonade to go along with it.

Starting Friday around noon.

	I can testify to that. Well, the burns, at least. I know very little about impressing men. Why are we burning things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not actually burning. It's frying. Heat up oil and put the fish in it after it's breaded. I use a butter flavored lard that makes the fish taste better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Where is this happening? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In the food court. I'm cooking the fish in my kitchen and I have cleared out some of the snow and set up a tent over some of the seating area. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I'm not really sure what is going on with Maryanne right now but I wanted to assure you of a few things.

I have been deep frying food since I was old enough to reach the top of the stove so I know what safety precautions to take. Sand bass and crappie do not actually stink up the place unless they are left out to rot.

I am in no way doing this to try to impress a man. I'm doing this because my friend and I caught quite a lot of fish through the door and I didn't see a point in just putting it in the freezer.

I would have no problem bringing food to you if you wish to remain in your apartment bit still want to try it. I completely understand.

Thank you for the reassurance. I am not in any way concerned about a smell, or what anyone wishes to do to attract a man or not. But I am quite nervous when I hear anyone talk of burns or explosions and so on.

I do not know where the food court is, and I struggle to navigate this place without assistance. It is no matter, and you do not need to bring me anything.

	She's being a bit overdramatic and I'm not sure why. I do plan on taking every necessary safety precaution when cooking in my own kitchen. I really wouldn't mind bringing it to you if you would like. I see it as my job to make sure everyone is at least fed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Simply anxiety, perhaps? I'm sure that you do, and I pleased to hear it. Please do not trouble yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps you're right. If you change your mind, I'm just a phone call away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. You are very kind. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	So can I, my father dumped one of those big pots of oil on my backside when I was ten. Because it was funny. And you are a man Mr. Rochester you know what would impress at least one. Deep Frying anything under the wrong conditions can be dangerous, not only to the person doing the frying, but for a few people around them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Strange sense of humour. Did he hate you? Well, you've got me there. But I must admit, frying fish wouldn't do it for me. Otherwise I should have fallen for every common pub landlady from Leeds to London. Then I shall stay as far away from this 'food court' as possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes he did. It was my fault we were poor, apparently. You see I am a twin, and I hid behind my brother on the ultrasound on purpose. An ultrasound is a picture made by sound or vibrations, generally used on a pregnant woman to allow her to see the baby inside. But, it wasn't because he was poor before, or the fact that he was an abusive drunk, it was entirely my fault. Or that was his excuse for beating the shit out of me from the age of four.

And I imagine more little Rochesters would be running around. But keep it a secret because it would be wasted on me, I'm a married woman and my eyes don't wander beyond my husband's or wife's tush.

If she's doing it indoors all you risk is smelling like fish. But that smell will also cling to the indoors for weeks.

[OOC: I was sure I replied to this, but it disappeared?]

Ah, of course. That makes perfect sense. Unborn children always have an agenda. What has become of your father now? He is not here, I hope?

Yes indeed, many little darlings to empty my pockets. I shall keep it secret, then - what is a man without a few secrets, anyway.

Thank you for the clarification. Is not everywhere indoors here? Anyway, no matter, I shall sleep easier knowing we are not about to burn.

[OoC:Weird! I got the first notif for it, though it was spamed.]

In my world, in my time, he's dead. My brother had to kill him, when he came after me with a shotgun. But if he ever shows up, he'll get to see what his abuse and neglect brought up. For five seconds.

Yeah but you'd have happy empty pockets I think. At least save them for someone who's head you can turn.

The powers that be have marked what they think is outside with snow. But it's cold now, which you might have been unlucky enough to find out with a miss step.
