[So to make sure he doesn't get cavities again (having to explain to the random dentist in town was humiliating), Meta's in the library looking up different versions of the same recipes. None are desserts, he is avidly avoiding those.

After some debate, he writes in his journal]For those of you who care to answer, what is the kind of food you

Now there's a tough question. ... I'd probably hafta say beef lo mein. Even though I suck with chopsticks.

[metaknightly]

It's not a dish where they're required.

[f_ck_your_fish]

And thank God for that, that's all I can say. If it came down to eatin' with just chopsticks or starving to death, I really wouldn't make it long at all.

[metaknightly]

There are other ways of using a pair of chopsticks than the conventional way.

[f_ck_your_fish]

... Oh, really. We still talkin' about food, or more unorthodox applications?

[metaknightly]

A little bit of both.

[f_ck_your_fish]

Oh, do tell. Never hurts for a girl to have new tricks up her sleeve.

[metaknightly]

Well for one it's not unusual in oriental settings to pick up the plate.

[f_ck_your_fish]

[laughs a little] And what, use the chopsticks like a shovel? That's about how good I am with 'em.

[metaknightly]

It's important to find whatever way works best for you. [he pauses] Even if the noodles slide all at once.

[f_ck_your_fish]

They're evil, slippery bastards, but they're too damn good for me to care, most of the time.

What about you? What would you miss?

[metaknightly]

Honestly?

[there is a short pause before he begins to write again]

Cake.

[f_ck_your_fish]

[she laughs, and doodles a little wedge of it on the page for him] Any particular kind?

[metaknightly]

[then there's a fork sticking out of it and a doodle of a teacup and tea pot] Nothing in particular. All cakes are good.

[f_ck_your_fish]

I'd have to agree with you, there. ... This is like Pictionary on crack. [the tea pot gets a doily under it]

[metaknightly]

...I don't quite understand what you mean by that. [a small wisp of steam comes out of the spout]
