i am confident i can keep plates full, and tummies stuffed with both magical and mundane goodies...
if anyone has any special treats, or old family recipes, let me know...i'm always up for cooking up a giant feast! in fact this weekend, starting thursday and running thorugh sunday morn is the offical "feast of pixie pantomime", in which each pixie in the tribe provides entertainment in front of the pixie princess at a tradional pixie feast...and prizes are presented to all so no pixie feels pathetic. in fact, i was just informed by my faerie liason, the theme this year amongst the local tribe is "in praise of pickles" anyone interested in staging our own pixie pantomime feast? let me know!
and i have assigned my fuzzles to dusting duties, as i have just leaned, after scurrying around enough they accumulate an enormous amount of static charge which is perfect for getting dust out of those hard to reach corners!
hopping back into my teacup for a brief afternoon of fuzzle free reading, as they appear to be transfixed by the minnow pond once again!
love and other restful days,

tickle pickle tarts - old family recipe, gotta love food that makes you giggle
hum-drum hummus - to calm you down after consuming too many tickle pickle tarts
breads and crackers with assorted cheeses and spread from the pixie world (these
are being brought by my little friend skamperdans, so i'm not sure exactly what
effects or flavours they will be...)
pixie primrose porridge - a favourite of our esteemed pixie princess, this dish
will cause a slight change in your altitude, as it often causes diners to float
ten inches above the floor and grow glittery wings for a day or two
roast beastie, prepared traditionally with goblin garlic marinade and pickled
puffball dressing
pickled purple pasta - much like my other famous recipe the stew of blue hue,
this dish will change your complexion for a short amount of time
pixie potatoes - mashed potatoes so fluffy and light, because they are smashed
and mashed by pixie feet
upon cutups request:
toe jam strudel - just like my grandmom used to make...extra toe jam...yum!
pickled peach pie
pixie pickle popovers
and the grand dessert:
fourteen layer mousse
made with fourteen magical fruite and candies from the pixie realm, never before
sampled by humans, a gift from the pixie queen herself...
yum yum...easydamsel's back in the kitchen a-cookin...
love and other tasty treats,

" contest update "
skamperdans happened to hop up ont my sholder as i was finely chopping up pickles
for my tarts and he whispered in my ear soemthing about the guild prize for
discovering the pixie princess to be something like a moon staff...hmm...pixies
are curios indeed...well, i snatched him up and put him to work mashing some
potatoes, so if anyone has an questions about the pixie pantomime i have him
in the kitchen with me...keep in mind there are also fabulous prizes for all
who compete in the pantomime too!

*Slowly tiptoes up to Skamperdans trying not to arise ED attention. Taps Skamper on the shoulder* Hey Skamper, can I call you scamper? I heard you got the low down on the pantomine competition... Whats the seceret? What do the judges want? Where are they hiding the prizes? *Looks up and sees ED standing above him* Oh... See-ya-bye. *Hurridly dashes off for the kitchen door*

*Mummbles. While rubbing the back of his neck, he begins to stir while looking
around the room [w/ malicious intent] to find the perfect "seceret ingredient"
to add to the pot*
Hmm....
*Eyes the sneezing powder. Thinks, "Whould be funny, but to simple."
He then notices a bottle of truth poition. He quickly grabs it and empties the
contents into the pot and discards the bottle...* So... EasyDamsel? What am
I stirring?

Pantomine? I can't talk? Hrm... This may be difficult... Though
the Picle is a very worthy focus of praise... I'll do my best to properly praise
the Pickles.

*oops i dropped the pickle* ... *pick it up again* ...
'never tried a pickle before! ... i know! i will taste it!' *i smile as though

" Pickle Hound "
*I bring out my dog Audrey, everyone goes "Awwww!" because she's so
darn cute. I feed her a pickle. She wolfs it down. Then she pounces me, I gag
because she's got pickle breath. Then she sees a huge plate of pickles on a
small table. She jumps up on the table and eats everyones' pickle then goes
to sleep**
The End

" Behold the power of pickles... "
*Sets a plate of pickles on a table next to a plate of cheese*
To pickle or not to pickle. That is the question. Tis nobler to consume of the
pickle or consume of cheese? Behold the power of cheese. AND behold the power
of pickles. Which one is greater? Neither! They are the product of perfection.
So... in conclusion. I would like to join these two together and present to
you all, the essence of life, PICKLED CHEESE! *Hold up a plate of pickled cheese
and starts to pass peices around...*
The way to a.. erm... judges heart, i through their stomach...
*Does a big bow and retreats to his corner to watch the rest of the proceedings*

abinartha
" The Pickle Pantomime "
Abinathra enters the hall with a silver tray filled with pickles arranged upright. All pickles are represented from the humiliated cucumber to dill pickles to the sweet gerkin. Unfortunately, since there is a princess present I have decided that formal, court dress is manditory and rather clumily trip on the edge of my much too long skirt. The velvet tears and my size 12 shoe slips through the opening.
The tray flies backward and the pickles forward. I have decided to become selectively mute and watch with dismay as pickles begin raining down on the assembled royalty.
I have few powers of my own, being a lowly apprentice and all. However, brine spells take no words, only salt and vinager, which of course I have plenty of, vinager being one of the genetic traits that has bred true. If you know my sister Cupup, you will understand the truth of that statement.
Flinging the vinager into the air, and hoping that the assembly would rather have a light misting of balsamic vinager instead of being pelted with pickles, I fling out my arms.
My foot comes out of the tear in my gown, the tray returns to my hands and pickles fly backward onto my tray. Except for the bright red cinnamon pickle that has landed on the princess's lap. Wouldn't you know that she would be dressed in white satin?
I slink from the hall and go to feed the pickles to the South American minnows growing in the pond.
El_nerdo
" In Praise of Pickle "
[Just to be sure, i double-checked: Pantomime: art of dramatic representation by means of facial expressions and body movements rather than words]
*el_nerdo enters the dimly lit room and hovers towards the scene
in front of the judges ("these hovering slippers do come in handy"
*
*he is holding a venitian-style mask in his hand which he promptly puts in front
of his face*
*a static spell is holding the mask in place*
[suddenly a small table appears out of thin air and a small plain white plate
with a single pickle on it apparates on top of the table]
*el_nerdo stares at the pickle first from above, then from the
side, and he smoothly tilts his head in diverse angles so as to appreciate the
pickle*
*he carefully takes the plate with his two hands, as if it was an invaluable
antiquity*
*he is now holding the plate in one hand and he carefully takes the pickle with
the other*
*he looks quickly at the plate with contempt and then stares a long time at
the pickle at if it was something superior, transcendental*
*he takes a gold and silver box out of his robe's pocket which he places on
the table. He opens the box and places the pickle inside it then closes it and
replaces it into his pocket*
*The other plate is still in his other hand. He drops it and it shatters into
a million pieces as it hits the floor*
("A plate is far too mundane a container for such an invaluable object",
he thinks)
*He takes off his mask, bows and exits the scene*

Gambit and Oddity
The lights dim.
The fire is warm.
I pull up a chair.
It has been quite a first day of the Feast of the Pixie Pantomime.
Quite now but not for long I am sure. I scoop up some purple pasta and head
out to the pond. Sure enough there are a group of fuzzles gazing into the pool.
As I stand amungst them tossing the odd pease of pasta to the minnows I notice
a small bit of purple fluff on the water. Must be from some rare flower.
Tossing the remander of the pasta in the pond I head for my treehouse and some
much need rest.
Good Night Moon.

" Pickled eu de toilette! "
*Twink trying to keep herself from ROlling On The Floor Laughing - must keep
a respectable attitude, honoring her Council Position-she walks in the ..pickled
Hall (Oh my God, what happened in here during the night?!), picks up a cucamber
pickle, eats it, goes by a table, finds a CLEAN chair and sits, gazing at the
amazing pickled floor. A pickled essence is in the air this morning.. Is it
my eyes, or is everything green in here?! Picks up psome left overs from the
table .. eats it as well, after smelling it! (Ahhh easyD you have been blessed
with delisious cookery telents!)
Looks around, trying to find her old acquantence, the Pixie fairie ..she must
be here somewhere! (a cinnamon pickle is mysteriously hopping on the floor under
the feast table ..!)*
Awaiting for more competition posts, she takes a small nap in her chair..

Capers with pickles. "
Deciding she could not completely miss the event, Yvonne enlists the help of her pets for a little performance.
Each pet is dressed in a sash fashioned from silk ribbon, adorned with pickled olives (they have finally had a use found for them)
The five of them march onto the stage in formation, Yvonne in the centre, Bacardi_bob and Topsiie on her left, Mookymoomy and Lizzie_feliz on her right.
Yvonne sets down a silver tray in the middle of the stage. On the tray there are several delicate crystal bowls. One contains the most majestic dill pickles you have ever seen, a smaller dish is crammed with the brightest golden piccalili and in between, there is the smallest, most delicate bowl, containing the most delicate, highly scented salted capers you have ever seen.
Suddenly, a loud quacking is heard backstage. This is too much for Lizzie_feliz to resit and she scarpers in the direction it came from, sending Poor little Topsiie hurtling into Bacardi_bob. Being a majestic lupe, Bacardi_bob does not like having his space invaded like this and begins to chase Topsiie, who is now greener than ever, around the stage.
The audience are in uproar at this, thinking it is all part of the act and are splitting their sides with laughter.
Yvonne is not pleased with her pets at all, and in an effort to calm her angry lupe, ends up sat on his back (glad she only wore her second best leggings for the performance) and being ridden around the stage.
Amongst all the confusion, mookymoomy remains calm. The fact is, Yvonne has been so busy the past week or so that he is really hungry. So yet another pet gives in to temptation, and very quietly, he eats each and every one of the pickles. By now, Topsiie has jumped on Yvonne's back, Lizzie_Feliz is hanging from the stage lights having thought she could fly like the duckies and all the fine crystal is in pieces, strewn across the stage like glitter.
Bacardi_bob sinks to his knees with exhaustion (and confusion that the bunny that bugged him has vanished out of his sight, despite the fact that the aufdience had repeatedly yelled "she's behind you!"
Lizzie gently drops from the lighting rig, and settles on Yvonne's left shoulder (Topsiie is now on her right shoulder)
Mookymoomy has vanished out of sight.
Then suddenly...
***BBBBEEEELLLLCCCHHHHH****
The loudest burp anyone has ever heard echoes through every corner
of the theatre.
The crowd once again roars with laughter and spontaneously jump to their feet
and cheer.
Yvonne is suprised at the reaction and graciously climbs off Bacardi_bob's back
and curtsies (against her nature, but a bow is a little difficult with a pet
on each shoulder)
She can't believe that they bought it. The short piece she had written completely
went by the wayside, but the crowd loved it all the same.
She trots offstage with her weary pets and offers each one a cooling slushie. Mookymoomy, for some reason couldn't eat another thing, and graciously declines

" DHD w/pickle (Drunken Hippo Dance with pickle) "
For hence forth, the Drunken Hippo Dance shall be known as the DHD. This is so that, when newbies come in, they must be taught before they may properly use this. The proper way to use this is one shall say, "*Does the DHD*" or some type of action setence... And now for the lesson. Everyone gather around.
Ok... First, get the pickle in your right hand, through it up in the air and catch it behind you with your left hand. Then spin around 360 degrees. Jump up and click your heels. Hand the pickle to the person to your right. Now do some high steps while waving the pickle above your head. Now toss the pickle up, cept it needs to be twirling this time. Now you need to spin to the right three times before catching it. Now get on all fours and crawl around wildly as if you are a hippo under the influence, then get up, jump/click your heels again and start over...
There it is kiddies. Have fun...
Oh yeah. This is the dance with a pickle. It is special for this occasion. Just take out the pickles and you have the normal dance...

" in honor of brave sir pickle "
a tragic play in one short act, but probably many long winded
posts
****************************
our scene: brave sir pickle (easydamsel) charges on scene riding her trusty steed (fluffkins_muddlepies, my pet skeith) in quest of the evil cucumber dragon (bo_bo_thunderbunny, my aisha)
brave sir pickle, looking incredibly dashing and heroic as she
bounces clumsily on the back of her trusted stedd, who is much more interested
in hamming it up to the audience, and is making kissy faces at cutup, whille
wagging his bum ridiculously, causing bave sir pickle to fall to the floor with
a resounding *THUD*
her pickled helm knocked over her eyes, she fumbles in a circle knocking over
the poorly constructed set made of cardboard and paper mache....
" in honor of brave sir pickle - part 2 "
as brave sir pickle circles the stage, trying to raise her ill-fitted helm...her trusty steed wanders off to satge left, conveniently located next to a feast table, and starts munching away at pickles galore....brave sir pickle frees herself, finally, with the use of both feet, from her helm, and settles it back on her head correctly...bravely she scans the horizon for a sign of the dreaded cucmber dragon, the one beast in the land that reamins unpreserved and uncanned by the brave pickle queen's guard...she sees a rustling off in the distance, and cranes her neck to listen to the foul munching sounds of the cucumber beast....she draws her might sword (labelled prominently "the pickled sword of justice" and charges off to satge left...ignoring the croeds cries of "THAT'S YOUR HORSE!" and pouncing on her trusty steeds back, who looks up lazily and shakes her off....brave sir pickle notices her error, slaps herself in the head and mounts her trusty steed to ride onwards...
" in honor of brave sir pickle - part 3 "
unbeknownst to brave sir pickle, her trusty steed has over-indulged at the feast table, and no amount of prodding or jumping will make him move...she gets behind him, and pushes gently against him with her sholder..again, he refuses to move...she poke him lightly with her pickle sword and, he jumps and starts to run in circles, whimpering in pain....brave sir pickles tries her hardest to jump onto the horses back, but suceeds only in frightening him further, and chasing him off stage left again, and back to the feast table.
brave sir pickles sits down dejected and sobs, knowing she will never find the cucmuber dragon without her brave steed for companionship and aid...looking sorrowfully at the audience, giant comic tears running down her face...across the stage comes a creeping mass of fuzzles....the audiences cries LOOK BEHIND YOU!! but she pays them not attention as she is intently wrapped up in her woes...
" in honor of brave sir pickle - part 4 "
the fuzzles immediately pounce on top of brave sir pickles, who
leaps up and gibbering like an idiot tries to brush them off...chaos ensues,
yet again, as she spins and bumbles accross the stage...heading closer and closer
to a ddark foreboding cave...the audience cries LOOK OUT! DON'T GO IN THERE!
but oblivious, as usual, brave sir pickles dashes to the relative safety of
the cave, while the fuzzles giggle maliciously and take a bow....
once inside the mouth of the cave, brave sir pickles sniffs an odor on the wind
ans sets off to see what it could be...closing her eyes and sniffing deeply
as she walks she doesn't see that right in front of her is the dreaded cucumber
dragon LOOK OUT! cries the audience, as brave sir pickles stumbles over the
dragons paw, awakening the beast who lets loose a pathetic *meow!* brave sir
pickles cowers in fear of the fearsome aisha with cucumbers in her ears...the
cucumber dragon looks at the brave sir knight, and charges her, pouncing on
top of her and licking her face and brave sir pickles bravely passes out...the
curtains close and open again on a scene set in a cabin in the woods, where
brave sir pickles is een ladlelling vinegar and brine over his new found trusty
steed, the dreaded pickled dragon! curtains close
fuzzles and pets come out or a bow, as easydamsel shakes her head in disbelief.
originally, i was going to recount the lesser know "pickle's tale" by chaucer, but the fuzzles took over stage direction in exchange for running clean up partol...i had to conceed...
