Hello, and I hope this finds you well. My name is Miriam, and I've found your name under the registry as well as your info highlighting your expertise in the culinary field.
I'm trying to organize a schedule for people to help feed the troops, so to speak. I've noticed that for an insanely varied group of people in this village, a lot of them don't know how to make anything beyond canned soup. There's no obligation, but should you have free time on occasion, I'd love to have you. Maybe we can discuss this over lunch?
Warm regards, -Miriam Maisel
PS. Pastrami should be served with what bread? (It's a test.)
It is an honor to meet you. Yes, I have been cooking for a bigger part of my life, although mostly for my friends. I attended culinary classes and found out I actually enjoy it more than I anticipated.
Your cause is gracious and generous and I will be more than happy to lend you a hand with cooking. I have helped out with food preparations in large quantities in the past and I know how time-consuming and hard it can be. We can discuss it whenever you have free time.
Best wishes, -Ignis Scientia
PS. I saw a lot of people prepare pastrami in different ways. However, I still prefer to serve it with freshly baked rye bread.
Culinary classes? You'll probably be able to teach me a thing or two. I look forward to it! I didn't realize there were so many people here. I can cook for my family just fine, but 50 people's crazy.
Oh, and you're close. Always pastrami on rye. Always. Anything else is goyishe--first thing my papa taught me.
Thanks again, -Midge
[ Who hasn't gotten used to this whole texting thing? This gal. Expect a lot more of these letters, Ignis. ]
Yes, cooking for 50 people can be hectic, and there are even ones that are picky in dire situations. I am not one for fulfilling every whim, but I did try to offer a variety before. It was almost impossible without help.
I see that I can learn a few things from you myself. We hail from different places so I am looking forward to seeing some of your recipes.
Always happy to help, -Ignis
[He's more than fine with this type of letters. Kind of reminds him of home, he used to answer these (more formal letters, not about food) daily, at the Citadel.]
Great! Looking forward to it. You can call me Midge, most people do. Let's meet at some time to take stock of the kitchen and figure out how to be as efficient as possible.
Can I interrogate you about where you're from or will those hard hitting questions wait until we talk in person?
That is a wonderful idea. Whenever you have free time, invite me and I will join you. We will need to also find a big enough area to give food out that can hold enough people. We can discuss that then as well.
It is a bit of a longer story, so if you are interested in the details, it is better in person. Otherwise, I come from Eos, and crown city Insomnia. May I ask where you come from?
-Ignis
[He prefers details to be kept from the tablet, in case Robin or anyone else tries to hack it.]
Absolutely. First thought is the Inn, but I only just got here. Feel free to ask any others if they want to help figure this sort of thing up.
I have literally never heard of any of those capitalized words. I have, but not capitalized: insomnia is just a noun and an eternal state of being when you have a newborn where I'm from.
New York City, in a place called the United States of America.
I will ask a few of my friends if they will be up to lend a hand. I recommend you to get in contact with Lady Lunafreya Nox Fleuret. She is not a big cook, but she is a healer, dedicated and organized. I think she would be of great help.
I suspected as much. Most of the people here didn't hear of Eos, which isn't surprising because I never heard of the United States of America or New York City. I have read in the library, however, about Earth. Is that where your country resides?
Wowzers, what a name. Sounds important. I could always use a doctor, I suppose, thanks. Does she have an address? Or a user name, if that's what it's called?
Earth's the one. New York's the only city that matters, though. Just a heads up. Everything else? Boring. Not as fun. The absolute worst. Eos is a God in Latin, I think. Greek, or Roman? I didn't take that course in school, stuck to Russian Literature.
She hails from a long line of priestesses and oracles that cured our people and led them. She is very kind and understanding. We share house, along with some other friends, in Chapel Hill #5, or you can find her online as @ fleuret.
Are you sure it is as boring? Perhaps you just didn't the right company to enjoy it all. The people you spend time with can help enhance the experience a lot.
