I don't mean to be a bother, but is there anyone here who is knowledgeable about domestic magic and might be able to advise me?

I need a spell to get ink stains out of clothing. I've been getting by with an all-purpose dirt repelling charm, but it's not designed for this sort of problem.

In a not entirely unrelated matter, does anyone have experience with raising magical children? If you do, and you're not the sort of person from the future who thinks it is good or natural for children to be rude and hate their elders, I would like to ask you a few questions in private.

	Ah. Never mind it. Cooking is still rather an impressive skill! What is your favourite food to make? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

bread, for you must knead it and knead it and it is very good when you are annoyed for it lets you imagine that the dough is who you are annoyed with.

stew is also good for i can let it cook away while i knit

a feast is good to eat, but if my sister has her way, i am usually the one who is cooking and so i do not always get to feast with everyone and must wait until all the food is prepared

i like to learn all the new foods that everyone makes in their diners and cafes and use the spices and herbs that i do not have at home as well. i like tacos, and the little cous-cous grains with vegetables and different meats all through it, and also gummy worms. but not together.

are you hungry?

	Freshly-baked bread is marvellous, and it is far too long since I had a decent stew. I cannot say that I'd care to try worms, though. I like meat pies, or plum pudding, or roast chicken. It must be horrid not to be able to join in with the feast. Do you at least save some of the best food for yourself? I suppose I am rather hungry. Talk of food will do that.

	gummy worms are not actual worms, they are what people here call candy and they are very sweet. and aye, the cook gets the best treats, as is only right. i have fresh bread and stew here if you would like some. i am astrid (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ah. In the way that sugar mice are not real mice?

Pleased to make your acquaintance, Miss Astrid. My name is Black. Your offer is very kind, but if I could presume upon your hospitality - might I bring a little boy along? He is my nephew, and he is only seven, so he won't eat a great deal, and if you haven't much left then I'd rather he was the one of us to have a good meal.

	If I ever find sugar mice here, I will share them with you! And yes, I can fly over. It should not be too difficult to find. I shall bring a gift for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
