2nd Shuffle
Who: Remy LeBeau ‘nd ya
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: Arslae
When: 20th December
Greetin’s all.
It’s ‘round this time a year… or an Earth year, ‘ssumin’ all Earth years be the same with the different worlds. [Remy gave a shake of his head to get himself back on track.] It be comin’ up to a time of celebration for a percentage of the planet. Christmas, Hanukkah, though think that might be passed… Kwanzaa, or just general celebration for those non-religious types as well as an ‘xcuse to eat, drink, ‘nd put up with family ya normally don’t see the rest of the year.
‘nd bein’ ‘way from home for a few years now, well, makes a boy wanna try ‘nd bring a piece of home here. So, been tryin’ to do my part ‘nd figure out some recipes that might almost feel traditional if ya shut ya eyes ‘nd hold ya nose, considerin’ what we got to work with on the ships. But was thinkin’ to share with ya’ll so ya might try ‘nd ‘njoy them also. Though, know a number of us be down on the planet, ‘nd maybe some of these things will still work, provided ya don’t mind ya blood pressure goin’ through the roof with everything bein’ mixed with salt here.
Now I know all the ships don’t got the same layout ‘nd some don’t have the same kitchen upgrades that we so luckily got on the Wonderduck, but I tried to keep that in mind with at least some of these recipes. But ideally, better to have a rank two to do most of these, ‘cause it gives ya access to the stove top ‘nd at least the toaster oven. Some might be doable in the microwave, but not sure how well these will work. Or ya could try just lightin’ a fire, but pretty sure that won’t work well in such a small space, hein?
[Remy offered a smirk to that bad joke before he glanced down, seeming to read off something that he held in his hand, no doubt notes he had taken down as he thought of these options.] Food wise, can give a go usin’ the orange drink as glaze or marinade with chicken, maybe reduce it a lil’ with some lemon, again, if ya got it, to take away some of the sweetness. Get a bastardization of chicken l'orange, throw in some salt, pepper, bit of the garlic powder, ‘nd see how it goes. Or make a paste of curry, garlic, ‘nd bit of the chili, not too traditional but might work. Same with goin’ the Asian route again with peanut butter, chili, a bit of teriyaki, don’t have skewers to stick them on but can put it over rice if ya got it. Last two would work with beef as well, oh! ‘nd mix of garlic and BBQ for beef would work for the chicken also.
Sides be a bit harder, since we missin’ a lot of vegetable ‘nd carb options. Cut up the mixed veggies, garlic, butter, bacon. Would say stuffin’, but not sure how well the wheat will work since it can’t really absorb flavours.
‘nd most ‘mportantly, drinks. Now, might be holdin’ my breath that those who claimed to be makin’ up bars ‘nd bringin’ in alcohol, so sadly goin’ to have to make these all virgin ‘less we get a sudden shipment of something decent to mix in to them. Orange, lemon, cherry, the gelatine work in this, [Remy was listing these off on his fingers as he spoke.] Soda water, got yaself a punch. Donno if can make a mixed up mulled wine if ya heat it, not sure that will work well. Or try ‘nd freeze it ‘nd make it a slushy. ‘course the chocolate flavourin’ ‘nd milk powered, bit of cinnamon for hot chocolate. ‘nd for those with pumpkin spice, throw in some of the milk, bit of vanilla, cinnamon again, heat ‘nd repeat.
Good luck, hope some of these be at least semi appetisin’ for ya’ll. I don’t promise success on all of them, more just comin’ up with ideas than havin’ a chance to test them all out just yet. Maybe once we head back off ‘nto where no man gone before ‘nd all stuck on our ships again, may have a go tryin’ these all out for m’self ‘nd thinkin’ up some other ideas.
I’d be ‘nterested to hear others take on this all too, ya traditions ‘nd festive eats, or for those who don’t have the whole Christmas holidays from ya worlds, what be ya biggest celebrations ‘nd what goes on durin’ them?

[ she's teasing, of course. any scrap of cotton can be useful in its own way. ]

It all sounds a bit gaudy. But that's Christmas for you, I suppose.

[ because she assumes he speaks of america. and peggy knows nothing of the acadian expulsion, and eventual settlement of the people who would become cajuns. her history lessons remain a lot more european. ]

Was ya's for work or pleasure then, cherie?

[ she exhales. ] You see, I was last in France during wartime.

It does get better, [Remy offered.] It does repair itself 'nd recover, as with all of the countries 'nvolved. 'nd it ain't forgotten. People remember what happened, [Before there was a pause.] 'nd wish I could say they use that to make sure it don't happen again, but... ya always get groups that hate others for some stupid reason, normally for how they be born. Hate makes people blind.

[ she exhales. ] I've had the chance to read a few things back on the Marsiva -- history books, or I've talked with others. It's hard not to question the intentions of 1946 when looking forward at the results of 2012, or 13, or 14.
[ many she's met are from that range. ]

Where 'm from, [Remy spoke, letting out a little insight on his world. It wasn't something that he would had done a year or so back, he wanting to stay wrapped up in the shadows and hide any truth away, but Luceti and the friendship he had there had softened that resolve. And maybe, just maybe, opening up would help build new ones here that were equally as good as the ones he had lost.] It feels like we be nearin' that edge, but this time it's against mutants, not jews, or homosexuals, or people with disabilities, or 'nyone else that was too different for Hitler. Got talks of camps, 'nd registration acts, or findin' a way to stop kids bein' born with the gene that makes them mutants. Hell, there already giant robots out there that are designed to fight 'nd capture mutants. [Which Remy had been lucky to avoid... and maybe feel a little guilty at getting some of the X-Men caught by them. Then again, he had no idea Magneto would had allowed that. Hell, considering how much the man hated humans, Remy had no idea why he had allowed it to happen, short of hoping the X-Men would tear the place apart rescuing their own.] Lot of anger on both sides.
