The Mushroom Line...

9/23/2019

As Efem and Cornelia were discussing their plan of locating the missing Dragon, Efem asked, "Now that we have sent Nemmer and The CAT to look for the young Dragon maybe we should contact the Twitter network?"

"Yes, we could. Everyone in the Shadows’ Realm know the birds are a good source of gossip since they do like to twitter all day long to anything that will listen. But you and I know the most reliable source of news is the Mushroom Line," answered Cornelia.

Efem nodded her head as she had to agree, for where ever a shadow lay - a mushroom was sure to sprout, and even though their ears don’t stick out they hear everything that is happening in the woods.

No one knew how they told each other what they heard - not even the trees using the Root Connection could understand it; but the Mushroom Line was usually the first to report anything ‘unusual’ in the Realm.

And if you have not guessed it yet, Parsley is the Telegraph Master to this news line which just irked Efem to no end. Efem wasn't thrilled that she and Cornelia needed to ask her for help in finding the elusive Wish Dragon before anyone else found him.

Efem, who prided herself in being the first to know anything happening in her Sacred Grove, was already feeling a little hedged in as she was sure that Parsley already knew that Efem and Cornelia had already started their journey to see her. That is how efficient the Mushroom Line is.

So as Parsley prepares herself for her visitors, and Efem and Cornelia make their way to her - the mushrooms watch and listen for more news in the Realm for tales of a Dragon.

What is Parsley...

If Efem and Cornelia are coming over to Parsley's, then she better wake up and get her face on. As I am working with her face, I do feel like I paint in clay rather than sculpt in clay. Just like applying makeup to a face, it is all about the layering process.

Starting out with the foundation, then on to the eye shadows, then maybe a little contouring with the cheeks by adding some depth with another color - or in my case, by adding a little more clay.

As I continue to work on her face, what else does she reveal about herself? After all, our personality shines through our face. When she told me her name, I knew she was going to have a talent (or mis-talent *smiling*) in the kitchen. A fae who likes hanging around the kitchen or dabbling with the soup.

Maybe Parsley isn't necessarily a main ingredient to a meal, but it does add it's own flavor. Plus, I am enjoying discovering it's healing properties along the way, all which make for an interesting adventure.

In the meantime, Parsley is going to offer some recipes and cooking tips she hopes you enjoy while she is getting ready. Her first hint is... did you know that you can freeze avocados? I was reminded this summer that not everyone knew this - so here is her tip.

Simply peal and pit the avocados and then slice them to whatever size you like to work with. When I make something, I tend to use 1/2 of an avocado at a time, so my slices are more liked halves. Also keep in mind the ripeness of the avocado because whatever level of ripeness it is frozen at, is what it is when thawed.

After slicing, place the pieces on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with a little lemon juice which helps them from not turning brown. Place the cookie sheet with the avocado slices in the freezer for about 10 minutes to freeze. Take them back out and bag them for long term freezing. That's all there is to it. Now you can have avocados all year around for cooking or making your favorite spreads.
