Subject: Entry

Descending from the Weyrling Barracks, she walks through the Dining Hall in a slight awe, marvelling at the large space, long tables, and faded tapestries on the walls. It was certainly much more impressive then what she was used to; but this was a Weyr, not some tiny Hold. Smiling to herself, she finds her way to the kitchen, and is put into even further awe.

It was twice the length of the kitchen at home with enough room for at least ten cooks and countless serving drudges. She takes a good look around the working area before proceding to the stores to check and see what food she had to work with. Getting the door open with a good pull and poking her head into the dark, cold room, she reconizes the storage sacks that keep frozen meat, and also the baskets that grasses and herbs were kept in. She rummages through the meat sacks and finds several choice cuts of herdbeast, wherry, and even some salted fish. What a joy it will be to create a meal for an entire Weyr!

Removing the sack containing the herdbeast cuts, she wanders out of the room and sets it on a table by the large cooking hearth. Noticing that the fire is out, she finds some wood and sparks a new one, warming her hands over the new flames before venturing back into the stores. She finds some yellow-viened grass, quite a suprise to her as this is usually found by the sea rather then in a desert. Perhaps they'd imported it. Shrugging, she selects a good bundle and leaves the store room, closing the door with her shoulder.

She sets the grasses on the table next to the meat cuts and searches for a pot with which to boil them in. Finding the cupboards remarkably tidy, she chooses one of appropriate size and fills it with water from one of the stone sinks, then hangs it on one of the hooks by the hearth to boil. In the meantime, she goes hunting for the appropriate grains to make some bread and rolls, delighted by the joys of working in an uncrowded kitchen and for the moment forgetting that it was originally Varda's task to prepare dinner.

OOC: Hope ya don't mind Ally. I just love Pernese cooking ^.^
