Pork roin roast stuffed with sharrots and dried fruit soaked in port smerr so good side of Mandarake-san jaw hurt. Pretty soon Mandarake-san make peppercorn sauce from drippings. Nevah ret animarh fat go to waste when Japan-mens South of Marsyborough eat dried Koara jerkey and Merrarueca bark.

I'm a Southern boy. Mom always kept an oil/fat can by the stove for frying stuff. My California wife doesn't understand why her food isn't as good...

[Anachro]

I'm Californian with an Alabaman for an aunt. Her food is delicious...but makes me think I'm going to have a heart attack every time I eat it. One time I asked her what ingredients were...wish I hadn't. Crisco, etc. - basically the least healthy, fattiest things you can imagine.

I'll eat her cooking once or twice a year though, so it's okay, but I can't help but notice her and her immediate relations are all heavier-set. Probably has something to do with the food.

I've been learning how to make curries from scratch. My dad was born in an Indian summer station in the foothills of the Himalayas. His little sister is buried there. (gen dit)

This doesn't look like they were blown up so much as just knocked up (around) a little bit.

If they can be just a little knocked up.

Heap big fight. Many squaws cry in teepee tonight, especiarry squaws of frying braves.

[Cap Mandrake]

Sparks-san in radio room intercept message from Arried-mens commandah:


Amazing piece of luck on the Allied side last turn. However if the next turn
goes to pot…..


Mandrake-san pretty sure something brow up. Turn out pretty much right. 2 day ago, British-mens adjective carriers spotted just outside recon rimit from Rockhampton so Mandrake-san move entire 21st Air Frotirra down to Bundaberg and try to surprise British-mens carriers.
Yestahday, weathah crapy so adjective carriers disappear but maybe stirr around because carrier pranes fry ovah Maryborough. Mandrake-san assign entire 21st Air Frotirra with 3 Daitai hotshot Nettie pirots and organic hotshot Zero squadron to navarh attack (organic mean Zeroes berong to same air HQ not that everyone eat vegetaburhs).
