The Long Pastel Teatime of the Soul

I wish Miss McAllister were here to help me bake all this. I did just send her a birthday present form here after all.. At least the Loli-Oni let me go home long enough to sit in the Town Meeting. They took Xerxes as collateral. Egyptian Night next Saturday, Formal Masquerade on Sunday. Egyptian. I don't have a thing Egyptian. I asked my son Vortex if he had any suggestions while he helped me pack up the cartload of frozen turkeys I had stashed in the sub-basement.

And here comes the UPS man! Let me sign here..Thanks!

Now..a little bit of Hellfire and these things should be golden brown! It's a good thing I already gutted them! Now..arrange them on the platters..decorate with purple cabbage..put the giant cranberry Jello-mold out..

*stares at the mold* I don't know you, do I? *shrug* Well if you're alive you better jiggle outta here in ten seconds..

*changes from chef's outfit to waiter's suit and picks up a metal staff to ring a huge triangle..He trembles from the vibration until he drops the staff*

OH LAAADIES!! YOUR SUPPER IS SEEERVED!!

*earth starts trembling*
