[The feed clicks on just in time to catch Umi watering her plant from Christmas with her magic. It's still pretty big, with bright blue-green leaves; it's also dotted with large, egg-shaped fruits. She stops for a second, looking at it fondly.It's really been a while, huh. Boy. Looks like I've got something to thank the Scientists for after all

...Do people make jam out of apples?

[embracethewaves]

Apple jam? You can, sure...most people add something else too, like berries or cinnamon. Something like that.

[figurespeaking]

'Cause I've... got a lot of apples. [Kind of boggles at his mini-tree.]

[embracethewaves]

[ffff don't think too hard there, Luke] A lot, huh? Let me know if I can take some off your hands!

[prodigal_axe]

I've got a stockpile of those fruits at the 'Lights now. Anything you can do with 'passion fruit?'

[embracethewaves]

Really? Mind if I take a look at them?

Passion fruit...I bet there is! I saw a recipe in a book once that called for it in cheesecake.

[prodigal_axe]

Why not. I upped the trade value on those, so there's a pretty good mix. Never seen some of 'em before.

Passion fruit cheesecake...seriously...? [Ohoho he wants that recipe. Will he ask for it? Never.]

[embracethewaves]

Some from other worlds, you think? Sounds like it'll be interesting, figuring out what they all taste like.

Seriously. It does sound like it'd be fun to make, though! If I can get everything together, I'll definitely give it a shot. [...and leave that recipe out. since you're totally not curious at all.]

[baratiesbest]

Looking good there, Miss Umi~

I still have a few mikan left, if you'd like?

[embracethewaves]

It's about time I got this back! I'm just hoping it's not some hint that I'm gonna have to use it.

Mikan? Now that's a challenge! I can't guarantee the results, but I can give it a shot.

[baratiesbest]

In this city? Who knows. I hope that it'll just gather dust though...

Won't know until you try, right? You can always make some marmalade, if you run out of ideas.

[embracethewaves]

Fingers crossed on that one, but I'll definitely be wearing the hand piece, I can tell you that!

It's a citrus fruit, so ideas aren't a big problem -- just that it's a tough one to work with. Although I guess even if it gets messy, marmalade or jam would be a good back-up plan...

/obvs excellent idea

[u_n_asplode]

Mine grew mushrooms. Do those count?

OSHI--

[embracethewaves]

Mushrooms?... I can't bake with them, but I bet the guys at the Lights could find a way to cook them, if you wanna bring them sometime.

MAYBE SHE DOESN'T KNOW THEY HAVE THE SAME EFFECT ON HOOMANS FFF idek lol

[u_n_asplode]

Reisen says I should get rid of them, so I will. I'm almost well enough to be out of the hospital, now.

FFFFF possibly. SOMEHOW I THINK THIS WILL NOT END ENTIRELY JUST AS PLANNED

[embracethewaves]

Wait just a second. Why'd she want you to get rid of them?

... You were in the hospital? [n-now she's wondering if it was because of the mushrooms]

[pilot_princess]

I've got some strawberries if you want, Umi!

[embracethewaves]

Strawberries...now that's something I haven't seen in a while. I'd be glad to, Anemone! If you're not gonna eat 'em all, of course.

[pilot_princess]

I won't eat them all! I actually like jam more, so I don't mind sharing the fruit.

[embracethewaves]

Really? Thanks a lot, in that case! You like cake, too, right? Have you ever had a jam-filled cake?
