Subject: Finishing up...

Seeing that the rolls are at last finished, she pulls the spit away from the hearth and prods one of the cuts with a fork. "Finished at last," she mumbles to herself, then carefully setting the spit on two supports she goes in search of a platter. Finding one stowed away in a cupboard, she pulls it out and unloads all the cuts onto it, realizing now that there's enough meat there to feed the entire Weyr and then some. Setting the platter by the pot containing the simmered yellow-veins to keep warm, she then goes to check on the baking roots.

Removing the clay lid and brushing away the steam, she sees that they have been cooked to perfection judging by the light brown colour of those on top and the crispness of them when poked with a fork. She moves the clay dish with the other warming items, and stands, wiping some sweat off her brow. Noticing that she'd left some of the ingredients out from her rolls before, she takes hold of them and mixes them together in another bowl in order to make crusts for the tarts she plans on creating.

After she gets the dough created, she snatches a baking tray off the wall and deftly creates tart shells out of the dough, then slides them into a slot above the small hearth to bake. That done, she wanders back to the store rooms, finds the marshberries she had seen before, and brings them back into the kitchen. Using the same bowl she made the dough in, she dumps in most of the berries as well as some sugar, then mashes the whole lot together using a wooden spoon.

She sets the bowl aside and takes a moment to breath, flopping down in a chair and smiling at Dajan. "Y'know what's really going to be a pain? Cleaning up after all this," she states, looking across the table at all the dirty bowls. "Oh well...hm...could you perhaps fetch some of the others who aren't terribly busy to start setting the tables? I'll give you all a hand as soon as I get these tarts finished," she says, gesturing to the bowl of berry filling and the still baking shells.
