What are your favourite recipes?

I'm not the most adept in the kitchen but I pride myself on being able to provide my household with meals when I can but I'm starting to run low on ideas and serving the same things is tedious for all of us. There are currently three of us but we often have guests too so dishes that serve a greater number of people would suit my needs best.

Ah, and we keep strange hours so all the better if they can be put aside for a few hours. Other than that, I'm willing to try most things. Except wild boar. It's too gamey for my taste.

[yep that's it it's totally because he doesn't like the flavour and not for any other reason]

Diarmuid,

I am unfortunately not an expert on cuisine. My thoughts during my tenure were elsewhere, although I have been introduced to new and delicious recipes during my short stay here.

I was fond of venison, however.

You should know I don't care about what you make -- I'll eat whatever it is.

[ Maybe one day he'll like food. ]

[ua_duibhne]

[For a moment, Diarmuid is nonplussed. Though they had wordlessly accepted if not a truce then a reset of their relationship, he still isn't sure how to feel about Saber. The lingering unease remains and yet-

It's easier through writing, he decides- and he isn't so petty as to ignore her.]

Greetings.

As was I, though I would prefer to hunt my own deer... perhaps I should look into the etiquette of such things here. I've been somewhat lax on that front.

[nobody's gotten on his case about the rabbits but...]

voice

[ua_duibhne]

[stop being awkward]

If that's the case, I should instead make it my mission to find something you won't eat.

[arturiarex]

[ Text is definitely easier. And Saber needs to distract herself a little after last week. ]

Diarmuid,

I cannot imagine that hunting would be entirely forbidden. It's something I might enjoy taking up again.

-Saber

[curruid_coinchenn]

I doubt you can find something I won't eat. If that's what you want to do, then I won't stop you.

[ Boys. Please. ]

[ua_duibhne]

You should know that I never back down from a challenge. Are you sure you're prepared for this?

[curruid_coinchenn]

And you should know the same. Of course I'm prepared. Do your worst.

[ BOYS. ]

[ua_duibhne]

[... is she going to sign off every message? That's... kind of charming.]

The Cwyld complicates matters but I'm of the same opinion as you.

How do you prefer it to be prepared? Roasted? In a stew?

[ua_duibhne]

Ha, just what I wanted to hear! [The smile in his voice is audible, lending it a roguish lilt.] May I set some ground rules? It would be cheating to just ask Caster, yes?

[curruid_coinchenn]

Set whatever rules you like and yes, it would be cheating just to ask Caster. My only stipulation is no dog meat...You shouldn't have to ask why. Whatever else is fine.

[ua_duibhne]

[a horrified little tsk]

I would never! But speaking of which, it seems equally deceitful to include things that are not actually food in my attempts.

voice,

[escardos]

Let me cook, let me cook! Dia can make sure I don’t burn anything!

[ at least he’a asking for permission...by hacking into their conversation, of course. ]

[curruid_coinchenn]

[ Look, he wants to make sure he covers that base before anything unfortunate happens. ]

Agreed. Only things meant to be eaten should be allowed.

voice

[ua_duibhne]

I'm trying to disgust him, not poison him, Flat.

[escardos]

Those are two completely different things!

[ua_duibhne]

Grand.

[this is such a stupid idea it's great]

... you know, I think I'm going to enjoy finding a way to bring the mighty Hound of Ulster to his knees.

[arturiarex]

Diarmuid,

I enjoyed both, but I think stewed tends to be my preference. There is something very satisfying about it. So you have a preference?

-Saber

private

[curruid_coinchenn]

You've found plenty of other ways to do it, what's one more?

[ Yes, he feels the need to be lewd, but at least he's making sure it's private. ]

I doubt you'll succeed in this endeavor, but I want to see what you come up with.

[tryhard]

I like your cooking, Diarmuid. If it's good, there's no need to feel you have to change it. That's how one ends up with things like fruit salad sandwiches and nonsense like that.

[ Not that they were... bad. But. Why?? ]

[ua_duibhne]

[... okay, maybe he was hoping for a response like that. Just a little. A lot.]

If you can be patient, I'll show you several new ways tonight. That much, at least, I have confidence in.

[this is your fault]

[ua_duibhne]

Roasted over an open fire, as close to the time it was captured as possible! I doubt such a thing would be practical here but it brings back good memories.

You needn't sign every reply with your name.

[curruid_coinchenn]

[ Conversations he really shouldn't be having on break right now. ]

Mm, I don't doubt you or your determination...I'm looking forward to see how you can bring me to my knees tonight.

[arturiarex]

Diarmuid,

Roasted over an open flame does have its appeal. Simple, but satisfying.

I have been told it is not typical, but I find it to be courteous. We are essentially writing shorter letters, are we not?

-Saber

[finesseblade]

[ Ha. Doesn't like boar. Neither does Felix, for similarly completely normal reasons. ]

Meat pie. Carve yourself any kind of bird and pack it in a pie crust with your choice of vegetables and cheeses, then bake. It's simple, filling, and will help you keep your strength.
