Friends, Food, and Revelations.

I was hanging out with Ralm and Jene at the Nax, and we were talking about how successful Ralm’s Cooking night was.

“Ralm really sounds like one of those old Pre-Quakes cooking programs,” I said, laughing. “Awesome,” said Jene. “Totally awesome.” “Hey, we should download a few of those and see if we can make some archaic food!” Ralm said, obviously excited. “Uhh, yeah but how do you propose to deal with the majority of your ingredients being extinct?” I asked. “Oh,” he said, suddenly downcast. But then his eyes lit up. “We’ll substitute them! We’ll do some research and find out the nearest modern equivalent! It’ll be fun.

I looked at Jene, to see her reaction. “Well,” she said. “I love food, and I’m always happy to try new things. Count me in on this grand experiment of yours.” “Awesome,” said Ralm, then he looked at me expectantly.

It was at that second I realized that I usually try to get out of things when they’re proposed to me. I wondered why I always shot things down like that, why I didn’t participate. I think it may have something to do with always being made to put family first, my father had made it painfully clear to me that I was there to fulfill a function, a duty. Now however, here at Tosadae, I didn’t have that kind of restriction anymore. I realized that it was time for me to stop always saying “No,” and to start saying “Yes.”

“Of course I’m in,” I said smiling. “Where do we begin.”
