Preparing the Ingredients for a Roast Vision

While I’m waiting in the closet for the dumpling attack to subside (yeah, right), I come across a bunch of papers that need going through. Most of which need to be tossed into the psychological void. I’m not through with my mental dustbin by a long stretch. Hexe witchie-poo text-messages me that I need to get on the stick and flame broil those puppies. Which of course, makes total sense. Have another popover froggie!
K is there for me. She’s found the oven reactor, and fired up the converters. It’s a hot smokin’ cook-a-roo just waiting for a bunch of sweet mineral dumplings to leap in and cook like a bee with an itch. I telepathsize an ingredient list for her, figuring we might have to wing some of those ingredients a little, say cat pee instead of dog pee.
An’ I’m out of the closet and using my super-Mario powers of crazy imagination maneuverability to spring over that assembled high-density collage of crazy critters. But whoa-ho-ho, they don’t waste time chasing after me with juice-drinkin’ intentions and physical happenstance collectivoids dancing all around my magnetosphere of doom-ness.
Thanks to my kung fu classes, I manage to stay one step ahead of the horde. Sheesh, I guess being a little fit helps a little bit, eh? I can understand Hexe’s desire to stay in top tennis destructor form, now. The ability to fire tennis torpedoes is mighty after all! K’s shoveling in the petrified wood as quick as the coal bin hatch will allow, and I lure those critters into the huge stone oven that must have been some crazy mass food feed-a-thon apparatus in olden days. I dunno, Hexe’s the expert here.
I have no desire to end up cooked to a nice golden brown patina, so as K slams the door shut and bolts it, I leap up to the ceiling and grab a hold of a rope courtesy of Alexi’s thoughtful chimney rescue brigade. Those Droll Dumplings try as they might, but I’m up and out of that chimney before you can say Jack Robinson! I cut the rope in case a few more enterprising buggers decide they can evolve climbing skills.
Man, those dumplings are mad! Hopping up and down in the oven like popcorn. K pours on the fuel and pretty soon the haunted house heats up nicely. Won’t be long before those critters are cooked to a crisp pop.
Meanwhile, more monsters out there!
I feel like sala in the first Indiana Jones movie. “Hurry Indy! This way! Oh my friend, I am so pleased you are not dead.”
My friend, you truly have a gift for making any situation much more entertaining. Good to hear the Fu is gaining and the energy is focusing in the every day. I sense this energy cleanout will lead to better and exciting things all around.
Always a good read:)
Yes, my little Piscean fishy friend – the Aquariuan water bearer has the pot boiling, the plates are set, time to jump in and not look back…… Love ya, Hex
Alexi, total respect to ya. Sallah knew the deal. Always prepared, always wise, never afraid to love life. Even when he was talking to dangerous smugglers to arrange a ride home for his friend. He picks up on the supernatural danger of the ark. And most of all, he sings and he laughs. Indy owes him more than he can repay. He’s almost like the fifth business at times in opera, facillitating things and moving the plot along so the hero can look good.
Hex, I love it. Waters boiling, I’m ready to jump in. It’ll be like a hot tub right? With carrots and celery and turnips and salt and peppers…and…and…all that good stuff. Just think of me as marinating in a nice sauce in the fridge while you get that prep done. I’m mixing in all sorts of flavors for this roast!
