"Oh? Oh! Hanatamago when did you follow us?" he crouched down and
patted Hanatamago's head.
"She's my dog. Berwald and I met her when she was following us
after a huge battle. We adopted her a few centuries ago, It was so
long ago that I don't remember anymore.." Hanatamago circled around
Akvilė's feet before sitting in front of her and letting out a cute
bark.
"She's reall cute!" Akvilė crouched down as well to pat
Hanatamago's head. She only did it a few times because she didn't
want for the food to have dog hair or such.
(These are gonna random lithuanian foods)
"Šaltibarščiai (cold beet soup) and I thought bulviniai blinai (its
pretty much potato pancakes) would be nice." Akvilė said, saying
the foods in Lithuanian without realising.
(Meanwhile for Arthur)
Arthur got off his ship, and started to find the others. He had
some cargo for supplies on his ship, in case of another attack. He
walked forward towards Akvilé's house.
(And for Yao)
"Aiyaa! What going on aru?" He exclaimed. Quite a few attacks have
happened in the great wall of China, and it broke quite a large
piece of the historical building. "This is so tiring.." He said, as
he started to rebuild the walls, when he got an idea."Háo! I can
get Russia to help me, aru!"
Tino blinked and tilted his head, not knowing what Akvilė had
said.
"Can we also add Kaalikääryleet (Cabbage Rolls) into this? Oh oh!
And some Perunamuusi (Mashed Potatoes) would be nice too!" he
clapped his hands happily and smiled at Akvilė.
"Oh, sure, you could make them" Akvilė said, pretending to
understand what Tino said. "What ingredients do you need?" she
asked, turning her confused smile into a smile.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
3 lbs head of cabbage
Water, salt FILLING:
¾ cup rice
1½ cups water
1 onion, chopped
1 Tbsp vegetable oil or butter
1 lb ground beef
1 large egg
2 cups chopped inner leaves from the cabbage
½ cup cream or half-and-half
1 cup cabbage cooking water
2 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 tsp dried marjoram leaves
2 cups beef broth or cabbage cooking water
1 Tbsp heavy cream ON TOP:
2 Tbsp melted butter
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
Please do not give to Hanatamago! She'll make a mess!
He sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. "It's a pretty long
list.."
"It's fine, I"m used to doing stuff like this." Akvilė said,
looking at the list. After making sure the cold beet soup was ok,
she started looking for the stuff in Tino's recipe. She was pretty
quick as she knew were everything was and as Lithuanians are
normally tall, she didn't need help reaching stuff.
"Yup, finished making the blinus(pancakes)" Akvilė showed a full
plate of them with a small bowl of double wipped cream (they go
really well together) next to the plate. "Can you get every one
ready to eat at the dining room? I'll start getting the table
ready" she asked as she started getting the plates and everything
else out on the table.
As Akvilė put down the last meal that was made on the table she
looked around the table, smiling the fact she finally has company
to do a simple thing like eat.
"Don't hesitate to ask me if you need anything." She said, sitting
down in her seat. "Tuck in, everyone!"
Everyone smiled and started eating their food. Hanatamago came in
and started gently pawing Akvilė's leg. Tino blinked before he
grabbed her and let her sit on his lap. He turned to Akvilė.
"Can Hanatamago eat some of the food too, if that's alright?"
"Of course" Akvilė nodded, not seeing why Hanatamago couldn't eat
the food. The sight of anyone enjoying the food made her happy,
especially if she made it. Even if it was an animal enjoying it,
she thinks she did a good job at serving the meal.
