Cooking is my passion, but my quest is the perfect dish. Each morning, I begin the day in the garden choosing the freshest herbs, spices, and vegetables. I can cast a charm net in the stream and get an amazing delicacy, a Snout Nosed Red Bellied Green Guppy, excellent flavor. Next, I head into the kitchen where all the bowls have lined themselves up on the table, wobbling with excitement for today’s adventure. I spread out the herbs, spices, and vegetables and perform the chopping charm to set the knives to work. My favorite carving knife, Baldor, has already started filleting the Guppy outside on the stump. I'm feeling the excitement; this could be the perfect dish!
I suddenly realized that a tasty addition would be the elusive Round Headed Red Spotted Spore-bearing Toadstool. I don my coat and wizard hat, command my walking stick to follow, and we all head to the forest. My walking stick, Martin, is also a premier guide and has found this elusive Toadstool twice before. As we continue through the dark forest, I hear a rustling and spot movement out of the corner of my eye. I could swear that I saw a Horn-billed Road Running Fowl, judging from the three-foot purple tail. Marlin and I are off in hot pursuit, as I cast a net and Marlin flies to secure it ahead of the creative. Next, there is a loud plop and it is caught! Securing the Fowl with a sleeping charm. I put him in my bag, and we continue the search of the Toadstool. I can hardly concentrate on the search because my mind is racing ahead envisioning a plate of Snout Nosed Red Bellied Green Guppy accompanied by Horn-billed Road Running Fowl covered with shaved Round Headed Red Spotted Spore-bearing Toadstools...the perfect dish is within my reach!
