day 225 | xiii ❧ potluck mingle!

[ this is her first time doing one of these without gran, and something she thought was going to be difficult for those very reasons is actually rather therapeutic, heartwarming -- a glance back at her roots, back when she was just adele stackhouse's weird granddaughter and not that fae who mingles with vampires. sookie contributes a few dishes from her gran's old recipes, along with something lafayette taught her to make. she's got all the tables in this part of trois park covered with checkered table clothes of varying colors, lots of plastic silverware, paper plates, cups, and napkins at the ready, and a stack of picnic blankets folded up on one of the benches for those who wish to sit on the grass instead of at a table. sookie even brought a long a mesh bag full of sports equipment -- or rather, a couple frisbees, a football, soccer ball, basketball, and even some hacky sacks. (she's not the sports type, but jason would always be off playing something with the other guys.)

hopefully she didn't leave anything out. hopefully this will help cheer everyone up some, both the new arrivals and those still dealing with the days they spent in that other prison. ]

	Trial and error. Kitchen recipes weren't too different from making potions. Although, apparently, my dad didn't always see it that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's my problem. The error part. [ she chuckles. ] I was good at spells, they didn't always necessarily rhyme. But, toot toot. What did your dad think? Your dad didn't cook, did he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why would a spell need to rhyme? [Sounded like a cliche right out of the movies, if you asked her.] He tried a couple times. I think that was the only time in my life I had the chance to threaten to ground him. Before he set the whole house on fire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's what I said. [ shrugs loosely. ] Really? Well, you're better off cooking yourself then. Besides, this potato salad looks pretty good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Spells that rhymed. Huh.]

Sounds like a lot of effort. [Says the girl who speaks an entirely different language...more or less...in order to cast hers] Wouldn't it just be easier to say what you want to happen rather than risk having to phrase it awkwardly for the sake of poetry?

[She glanced down at the potato salad, passing Phoebe one of the large wooden serving spoons.]

Help yourself.

I definitely made more than I could ever eat.

I've never really questioned it. But I guess it has to do with tradition and the fact that the rhyme helps to put you in a meditative state. Most of our spells have been passed down from generation to generation. The rhyming seems to help when it comes to remembering them. Flows better.

[ she takes the spoon and scoops up a good amount, placing it on her plate. ]

	[Alright, she could see that.] I guess every family style is different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't get me wrong, we've had some backfires because of the rhyming. But it works out eventually. Do you rely on potions more? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-07-02 03:17 am UTC (link)
	Oh, no, I do verbal incantations. They just don't have to rhyme. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She waits for the verdict on the potato salad.] [...hey, there was a bit of pride on the line here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's good. Really good. [ she points to her potato salad, smiles at her. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2013-07-02 02:27 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, good. I kind of had to improvise the recipe a bit. They didn't have a few of the ingrediants I wanted, so I had to make due. (Reply to this) (Parent)
