Who are the SPICE?

It started with a  hiccup!
After the Dragons left the Realm of Wymsy to find a safe place to live, they soon discovered that not everywhere they traveled were they welcomed.  Some lands hunted them for sport.  In other realms the people were afraid and ran from them when approached.  In all of their travels, the Dragons never felt at home. 
​Finally, a Wish Dragon overheard a wish being made.  Deciding that maybe this was a way to make friends, the Dragon granted the wish... and that is when things started going wrong!
By the time the Dragons came to the land where Allspice's (Al) kind lived, the Dragons started granting wishes willy-nilly.  It was soon afterwards noticed that when a wish was not completely thought out - an innocence bystander or other citizens would disappear!  First it was only a few and it never seemed to be the one making the wish.  But after a time, it was discovered that anyone involved in a wish where things went wrong -- could maybe disappear.  This is when the locals started resenting all Dragons!  This made things a little sticky for the Dragons and they knew it was time to move on.
It was also during these travels that the Dragons discovered a drink common among the Fae.  It was called Ambrosia. To the Dragons it was something new that gave them the taste of some of the magical energy that they had left behind in the Realms.  For most Dragons the Ambrosia was only a drink, but not to the Wish Dragons.  When a Wish Dragon drank, it created a reaction.  It made the Dragon hiccup.  Now, normally a hiccup is not of great concern.  ​
Picture
​Maybe a few flames would escape and a slight scorching would occur, but with a Wish Dragon, something entirely different happened.  When a Wish Dragon hiccupped, a By-Stander that had been caught up in a bad wish would re-appear!
At first it was a cause for celebration.  The missing Fae could be brought back just by having a Wish Dragon drink lots of Ambrosia!  Though everyone was excited about their returns, it was quickly noticed that they were not the same.  The By-Standers could come back looking green or be way smaller (or taller) than they had been before their disappearance - all from the residue of a wish gone wrong.  But they were coming back and after a visit to a local witch doctor, most were able to have the remaining magical virus removed.
This is when SPICE (Stewards Preventing Imperfectly Casted Enchantments) was created.  This group was to regain and find those Fae that were affected by Wish Dragon wishes that had gone awry.  Members of the organization soon were to be known as SPI's (pronounced spy).  The SPI's realized that the best way to keep an eye on the Wish Dragons was to become the makers of the Ambrosia they would drink.  They could give the Wish Dragons Ambrosia and then watch to see who would show up after a drinking session.  The Dragons never realized that their bakers were actually their keepers and were completely unaware about what was happening when they hiccupped.  They just enjoyed the Ambrosia!
This is why Al and the other members of SPICE accompanied the Dragons to the Realm of Wymsy.  They were determined to continue their work and return everyone who had disappeared.
The problem is that the SPI's have competition.  Not as SPI's but as bakers!  The Goodie Sisters had long been considered the finest cooks in the Realm of Wymsy and they did not wish to become second best to a bunch of 'bakers'.  There begins the rivalry!

Fall Harvest Special...

11/22/2023

"We have to cook up something special for the Fall Harvest Festival dinner," Goodiegood told her sisters as they all gathered in their kitchen.  "Since this year's theme is pumpkin, I am sure that Parsley will bring her pumpkin spice muffins and Granny Flare will more than likely have her pumpkin chocolate chip cookies there as a dessert."  
"But what can we whip up that will be different?  We have to show everyone that we still have that special touch and are the best bakers in the realms!"  ​
Goodie2shues and Goodie4U just looked at each other and tried to think up something unique.  "I remember a few years ago when Granny came up with a gluten free pumpkin pie recipe that everyone tried just to see what it tasted like," said Goodie2shues.  "Hardly anyone ate what we brought that year," added Goodie4U remembering all of the leftovers they had from that Harvest Festival.  "We don't want that again," added Goodiegood.
As the three sisters stewed over what special recipe they would pull together, they sat and sipped their pumpkin spice tea.  Suddenly Goodiegood smiled.  The others could just picture her mind churning up something.  "I know what we can create and we won't even have to use the oven!" she snickered.  "No one else would ever think of it..." she continued almost to herself.
When Goodiegood did not finish her thought, the other sisters (at the same time) said, "Well, what is it?"  Goodiegood looked at both of them as if it was the first time she realized they were there with her.  Laughing she told them her idea.  Soon all of them were snickering as the cooking supplies started to fly off of the shelves and onto the mixing table.  
Picture
​"This will be fun and we didn't even have to ask the Magical Cooking Spoon for an idea," Goodie2shues thought as she started her part of the recipe.
The recipe:
  • 1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
First she melted the butter and mixed it with the sugar and graham cracker crumbs in a large bowl.  Next she pressed the mix across the bottom of a cake pan and then put the pan into a cooler to chill it until it was cold.
As Goodie2shues was making the crust, Goodie4U was starting the filling.  In a large bowl she mixed:
  • 15 ounces of canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
After mixing the ingredients, she folded in 1 quart of softened vanilla ice cream.  Next she spooned everything into the chilled crust made by Goodie2shues and they put the treat into a freezer for about 30 minutes.  When this was done, it was Goodiegood who figured out that a double batch of the mixture would fill a 9 inch by 13 inch cake pan.  "If we are going to have enough for everyone, we will need to get some more supplies before the Festival," she told her sisters as they were looking over the finished treat after it had chilled sufficiently.  "I wonder how much ice cream we can get this time of year?"
"No one will think of this," said Goodie2shues as the others nodded their heads in agreement.  "But what do you call it?" she asked Goodiegood who had thought up the recipe.
Picture
"I was thinking about Cornelia when the recipe came to me," she told the others.  "I was thinking that it would be nice to have some of her honey to go with my pumpkin spice tea.  So I am going to call our new make - Bee's Pumpkin Ice Cream."

​After heating up some more tea and trying a slice of their new dessert, it was Goodie4U who reminded the others, "Don't forget to save some for Dree and Drat since they have to stay in the cave for now.  We don't want Dree to sniff it out and come at the wrong time." 
The others nodded their head in agreement as Goodiegood made a note on the shopping list to not forget the two in the cave.

To Do List...

If anyone from the council was following Drat, they would be certainly confused as to where he was going. "How to keep a Dragon entertained without getting eaten?" asked Drat to himself.  "Yes, I know I was instructed to keep Dree busy until the council could meet with Aralt, but I need something special," he muttered as he continued writing on his check list and checking them off.  
"This check list thing can sure be useful," thought Drat.  The minion had never done one before until Dulbbe had become the Troll King.  The new king and former bookkeeper was a stickler for lists.  At first Drat thought it would be a waste of time and just one of those ways that having something in writing could get him into trouble, but after a while he realized they really were helpful.  "As long as I don't lose it and I don't make anything on it clear to anyone else but me, then I don't have to keep everything in my head," he had decided after using them for a time.  Now he did it to keep his mind free for other things and to help him focus on the issues at hand. 
"Of course the answer is easy," he chuckled looking at his list.  "Find something else for him to eat and  I know just where to go for that."  Drat had heard from his own sources about the Goodie Sisters providing Dree (at that time - Hungry) with a birthday party and about how much the Dragon loved the food so that is where he decided to pick up some snacks before showing up to keep him distracted.  The elder Goodie Sister,  Goodiegood, was at the council meeting but the other two should be at home - at least Drat hoped.
​Soon he was standing outside of the Goodie cottage, Drat could smell something cooking.  "Yup.  Someone is there," he smiled as his own stomach made a slight growl.  "Hopefully it is something that will be tastier than myself that Dree will like," thought Drat just as he was about to knock on the door.  Before he could though slowly the door opened by itself and he could hear Goodie4U calling out to him to come in.  "How do they do that?" Drat had thought for more than the first time.
As he walked through the doorway, a movement out of the corner of his eye made him jump through and roll under a table.  At first he was not sure what caused him to react like that, using one of his many survival skills, but he knew better than to question it for it had saved him many times.  It took a minute before he realized what it was and he still was not sure it wasn't his senses playing a trick on him.  
Picture
It was a circle of twigs above the door and for an instant he thought he saw a bunch of entwined snakes.​  "Why am I thinking everything wants to eat me? Is it because I  must be hungrier than I realized," he told himself as he crawled out from under the table but all of the time keeping at least one eye on the twigs.
"I have a bag of sweets waiting here for you," said Goodie2shues "with a couple of extras for your trip to the caves" as she handed Drat the sack.  "Tell Dree hi for us while you are there.  We made him some Chocolate Haystacks that Scarlet swears by especially since we knew that Dree loves chocolate.  There should be enough there to keep him from deciding if you are edible or not," she smiled at him.
Picture
"How do they do that," kept going through Drat's mind as he was ushered out of the cottage and sent on his way to the caves.  "If the other's knew their secret, it would put us minions out of work," muttered Drat as he nibbled on a Chocolate Haystack.

Gathering the Facts...

With the information that Ffion and Dulbbe had received, everyone realized that it was time to meet and discuss what was to be done.  It was quickly decided to hold the meeting at the Shadows' Realm castle since both Ffion and Dulbbe were already there and it might be helpful for everyone to have the Dragon orb available if any more questions might come up.  Soon the council was all there to include the one whom any decision that came out of this meeting would most affect - Dree, the new Moon Dragon.
Griselda then spoke up saying "We have learned something about our past.  We now are aware who Aralt is and I have told you of my experience with the magical scroll and of the forming of the Wish Dragon clan by Aralt.  It wasn't the family nurturing clan I grew up in that's for sure.  Who knew that the clan originally was created to control the Dragons more than to work with them," the Dowager said shaking her head slightly side to side as she remembered her vision of that council meeting. 
Picture

"We have also heard from King Dulbbe and Queen Ffion about the potential dangers of a ruling Wish Dragon according to the past stories of the She-Dragon," finished Griselda.  ​
Everyone looked at each other, waiting to see if someone would start the conversation they all knew had to happen.  It was Awena who began.  "We need to create a plan to minimize the chaos of the arrival of the Herald and the Dragon's return.  I have searched the records of the Sleeping Sisters and have found nothing that will aid us in this problem.  The only ancient text or prophesy that was discovered is extremely vague.  The most we can confirm is that all realms are in danger if the Dragon's are no more and the game is lost.  We have not found out what is meant by 'this game of power' nor what would make all of the Dragons disappear," she said and sat down on one of the many chairs in the audience chamber.  
"You have all heard what we have found out about the returning Dragons.  Do you  have any further questions of the Dragon orb?" Griselda asked the others.  "If not - then now is the time we must decide what we can do.  The one major question we cannot answer is does Aralt know we now have a Moon Dragon here in the Realms?"  What do you think of this Dree?" finished Griselda as all turned to look at the young Moon Dragon.
Dree was totally caught off guard.  He had been listening to everyone's discoveries and was picturing in his mind what the other Dragons would look like and how they would act, but he had not been following the Dowager's final comments.  So with a startled look  he realized everyone was staring at him and waiting for his comments.
After a few gulps, he finally started to speak.  "Excuse me for not paying attention at everything that has been said here, but I have been listening and thinking.  I understand both from your discoveries of the Orb and from the reading I have been doing from some books that Granny Flare gave to me what it meant to be a Wish Dragon.  I am just now getting my wings under me in trying to find out what a Moon Dragon may be.  I am hoping this Herald can help me discover what it is that I am supposed to do," he said.  Taking a slow breath Dree continued, "But, I also know that he is a stranger to me while all of you are my family.  I may be a Dragon, and formerly of the Wish Dragon Clan, but you have all raised me and have helped me become what I am now so you are my clan too.  I do not know if there is anything I can do to prepare for the coming of my kin, but I do feel that I should learn all that I can to be prepared for their arrival," Dree told the others.
Picture
"Dree, you are part of our family too," answered Efem as she walked over to him and squeezed his hand.  "After talking to the trees in the Sacred Grove, I now have gotten to the root of what they were trying to tell me.  It is this, you can prepare all you want, but when the game of power starts, all you can do is play along and hope you know the rules.  We will help you all that we can, but in the end, it will be your decision as to what will happen.  I am sorry to have to put all of that burden upon you, but I believe that you are up to the task and we will all support you."
Everyone in the room stood and bowed to the young Moon Dragon to show him their support.  It was almost too much for the Dragon, but he finally did look back at them all and said a simple "Thank you."
It was then that the Goodie Sisters and Parsley entered the chamber and announced that the meal they had been preparing was ready... was anyone hungry?  Dree started laughing and said "No, I'm Dree now - but I am still Hungry!"

VMP Arrivals...

As Snoop quietly snuck across the street and into the alley beside the council chamber, he could now see clearer through the window. There she was, Granny Flare, and she was doing the cleaning. 
At first he thought she was sweeping with her broom, but realized that she was actually holding a Dusty Myte and pointing it towards the floor as it was sucking in the dust. ​
It was that new style of cleaning she had shown to some of the other house Brownies at her last convention that he had written about.  She called it 'vak-u-ming' (whatever that was).  "It will never replace the broom," Snoop thought as he continued watching her clean.  "There must be a meeting going to happen today," he realized when he also saw the brewing tea pot and cookies.  "There sure are a lot of cookies and cups, so it must be for a full council meeting.  Maybe even some VMPs (Very Magical Persons) " Snoop muttered to himself.
Since he knew all of the best hiding places to observe the towns people, he soon was sitting comfortably in an old chair outside of the Hicaberry Tea Shop.  Here he could sit at one of the best places for a cup of  tea and could watch the council chamber too as he hid in the shadows of the eaves.  Snoop had long ago set aside a small expense budget for just this purpose because the Tea Shop made him buy something when he just sat on their porch and watched things happening.  
Picture
​"At least the tea is better than what I brew at the Bellwether," Snoop thought while he slowly sipped a little.  "I might have to make this cup last a long time since it doesn't appear that anyone has arrived yet but Granny Flare."
Picture
It was then that he noticed the troll.  It was Dulbbe, the new King of the Trolls, and standing besides him was Drat.  "Where did they come from," he wondered.  "They had not been there a minute ago."  Listening closely as he leaned over slightly (another reason he had picked this spot), he could just barely hear Dulbbe talking to Drat.
"You were right," Dulbbe said to Drat.  "It was uncomfortable besides being dirty too.  I don't want to have to use that route again unless we absolutely have too.  I mean, I can usually see well in the dark, but not in that pitch black hole you took me through.  I don't know how you did it because I could not see my hand in front of my face!  And don't tell me what was making that sound when were were walking around down there... I don't even what to know who or what it was," Dulbbe finished with a shudder as he brushed his clothes with his hands.
"Sorry Sire, but you did say you wanted to get here fast," Drat answered (but not before Snoop noticed that the rat had answered with a small smile on his lips).  Still smiling, Drat stepped aside and motioned for his King to enter the council chamber first as he followed.
"Interesting," thought Snoop.  "I wonder who else will appear."  Just as he said that, the coach with Queen Ffion pulled up being pulled by no less than four Nytemares.  "She must have been in a hurry," he decided.  "This must be important!"  
As Snoop continued to sip on his tea, he was able to observe several more arrivals for the meeting.  There was Hewy, Hir'aeth the Gooblin King, the Goodie sisters, Awena from the Sleeping Sisters, the Baron and his mother the Dowager, and even Dewin the Wizard.  All VMPs indeed!  It was the last guest that appeared the made Snoop realize that he had to get into the meeting somehow.  It was that young Wish Dragon who had transformed into a Moon Dragon, Drai'ochtluan.  "I am glad that he likes to go by 'Dree' for short," Snoop sighed to himself.  "I would have to look up the spelling every time I want to write it down."
As Snoop was trying to figure out some means of getting into the council chamber, he did not notice that a Pyksee had been sneaking up behind him until she pulled on his sleeve, making him jump several inches into the air.  It was Meen, the new Queen's minion.  "Don't do that," he told her.  "You made me jump."
Picture
Not realizing that Snoop meant it as a bad thing because she liked to jump everywhere, she shrugged his comment off and pulled on his sleeve again.  When she thought she had his full attention, she delivered the message she was sent out with.  "The Council asks if you would join them in the council chamber.  They said they did not want to start without you."
Snoop was flabbergasted... how did they know that is exactly where he wanted to be?

What, Why & ...

"The Food Fight was just going to have to wait since receiving the summons from Griselda," thought Goodie4U.  It didn't take very long for her to put on her shoes and grab her hat. Her sisters stood in the kitchen waiting for her as she donned the hat and as she started for the door she asked them what they were waiting for. "Come on you two, we shouldn't be dallying," Goodie4U told them as she opened the door and started outside. 
Her sisters only looked at each other while shaking their heads from side to side.  As Goodiegood was the last out the door, she waved her hand and fingers in such a way that as she closed the door, the circle of twigs inside of the cottage over the door twisted together and locked it.  Goodiegood heard the clicking sound and thought, "Better to be safe than sorry," as she heard Goodie2shues say "Now off to the council meeting".
Picture
Soon the three sisters were walking on the trail to the Village on the Wall.  As Goodie2shues was casting a protection spell to keep her shoes from getting dusty from the trail, she was also re-telling her sisters again the message from the Flutterby.

"I wonder what could have made Griselda change the location?" Good4U asked her sisters.

"Personally, I would rather have had it at the Baron's Mansion," Goodiegood said.  "It is so much nicer than that chilly old Council Chamber in the village especially as the Baron's batman, Fiddlefaddle, does make such a savory cup of tea."
​ 
"I am sure the Dowager had a good reason why," replied Goodie2shues.
For a while afterwards they continued down the trail in silence.  Each of the sisters thinking about how much could she tell the others at the meeting.  It was Goodie4U who started talking first.  "Sisters.  It is all my fault for the meeting.  As I was visiting the Outie world, I had a vision.  It was the return of the Dragons."
Picture
Before she could continue, Goodie2shues spoke.  "I too had a vision while using the Baking Spoon.  That we decided to help Hungry, Oops, I mean Drai'ochtluan (AKA Dree) is why the Dragons could return.  At first I could not understand why that would be a problem.  We have all missed them since they left, but then I started thinking about possibilities.  Some of the whys and therefores did start to concern me.   Oh Batter!  Sisters. Have we bitten off more than we can chew?"
​For several more paces no one spoke, but the two youngest sisters kept turning to look at their eldest sister to see if she was going to add anything.
Just when they thought she wouldn't, Goodiegood started to speak.  "Yesterday I was using my ol' scrying baking bowl because something was nagging at me.  At first, I thought it was a new recipe trying to get out so I could write it down in my cookbook. Then I realized that it was something else."  Goodiegood continued to describe on how her bowl looked in the vision.  "At first the inside of the bowl appeared full.  Then partially empty, then to empty, and then back to partially full." 
Picture
​"But this was the strange part - when the bowl was partially empty, it looked more like a crescent shape and on the opposite side of where it was the first time, before going back to full," finished Goodiegood.
​"This happened several times before it stopped.  When it did, I too saw a Dragon... but it wasn't Dree I don't think.  It was flying in front of the moon and all I could see was an outline but it seemed smaller than Dree.  As I have been thinking about it as to who this could be,  then this message came from the Dowager, plus you both having seen the return of the Dragons, it is definitely a sign.  The problem is that I don't know what is baking!" Goodiegood continued.
As the sisters approached the village, they still had not decided amongst themselves what to tell the council or if there was a way they could control what might arise in the conversation.  "This can definitely be a recipe for disaster," thought Goodiegood as she entered the council chambers after her sisters.

Food Fight...

5/3/2023

Oh no! Goodie2shues was in a pickle indeed!  It was that time of year again when the Food Fights start!
Now a food fight in the Realms is a little different than what an 'Outie' might think.  Here food flying around is normal and not because it is being thrown.  With magical wands and spelled dishes one almost needs a traffic control officer.  But what makes the Food Fight special is because in this event is where the Best Cook wins!

​This is the time when different recipes are created and conjured.
The one who creates the tastiest morsel that everyone thinks tastes the best is the victor in these battles (no cooks were injured in the last several battles except that time when a thrown spoon landed in the hot syrup - but that's a different story...).  Plus the winner wins the opportunity to gain temporary ownership (until the next winner is proclaimed) of the magical BAKING SPOON!
The Goodie sisters have had the Baking Spoon for so long now that they considered it theirs by default.  It enhances their magic and allowed them to see more vividly into the future.  Which at this time might be a good thing to have with all the Dragons coming back and the chaos they might be bringing too.   Now is not the time to be thinking of loosing the Baking Spoon.
But what really has Goodie2shues in a dill pickle is her two older sisters.  "You would think they would know better," she whispers to herself. Her sisters are so wonderful and sweet until this time of year.  Then off comes the oven mitts and out comes the magical recipe books complete with their wands and attitudes.

​While preparing for the competition, the two sisters are extremely focused to the point of annoying.  Of course Goodiegood knows what is best while Goodie4U knowing what is good for you!
Picture
Both sisters take this competition very seriously as each always thinks she has the winning recipe to save the family honor and keep control of the Baking Spoon.  Goodie2shues problem is that as the youngest sister she is stuck in the middle being the judge for deciding which sister has the better chance of winning the Big Food Fight challenge.  
But this year Goodie2shues is thinking she just might get outside help.  So, can you help?  Below are Goodiegood's and Goodie4U's entries into the Food Fight.  Which one do you think might win for control of the Baking Spoon?
Goodiegood thinks her recipe is best because it is like a tropical burst for the tongue that will have you dreaming of lazy days on the beach while enjoying her sweets.  Plus with apricots, pineapple, almonds, and a touch of spice, what could be better than a frozen treat to enjoy that is healthy for you too?
Picture

Now Goodie4U is not to be outdone.  Being one that always knows what is good for you almost makes her somewhat cranky when she isn't listened too (A situation which Goodie2shues can testify to).
Picture
Goodie4U knows her Date Delights are very tasty  and also contain healthy fiber for the body too.  

With just dates, prunes, and coconut, these Delights are so easy to mix up that it takes very little magic to create them.

Will you help out Goodie2shues and still keep her sisters happy while trying to keep the Baking Spoon in the family?  Leave a comment as to who you think has a chance at winning the Food Fight.  Or, if you think their recipes both sound good enough to enter the final competition, do we let the Competition Judges decide, getting Goodie2shues off the hook?
Plus now receiving the Dowager's emergency council meeting summons adds to the stress.  Will the Food Fight be delayed or even cancelled?  Not on the Goodie sisters' watch if they have anything to say about it.

Goodiegood's Apricot Ambrosia...

5/2/2023

Nothing Goodiegood likes better than to try out a new recipe.  Especially when it is gluten free, dairy free, and in this case, no sugar added.  Very healthy indeed if one knows what's good for them.

Goodiegood also loves sharing these easy-peazy types of cookies as these don't require cooking either.  Just make them up and store them in the freezer.
The Ingredients:  Dried Apricots  -- Almonds -- Pineapple (in their own juice) and then she adds a little cinnamon and cardamom for the tropical zing to top them off.  
Picture
Picture
Picture

​She starts with roughly 1 and 1/2 cups of dried apricots and 1/4 cup of pineapple (Drained - no juice).  The pineapple helps the apricots not be too dry - that is why the pineapple juice isn't necessary.  

Add a little cinnamon and/or cardamom to what ever level you like for taste.

Place everything into a blender or food processor. 
Picture
Picture
The almonds are for rolling the fruit puree mixture in.  Goodiegood simply placed the almonds in a plastic bag and used her rolling pin to crush up the almonds.

​Then poured into a bowl so it would be ready for the puree. 
Once the apricots and pineapple is blended - it is ready to roll.  Also she did a little batch with some carrot grated into this mixture.  Again, add the spices (or not) when you blend as it tastes great either way.
Picture
Picture
Take a small amount and drop into the bowl of crush almonds.  She likes to roll it around in the bowl as this also draws the almonds into the middle of the ball as well as on the outside.  Once rolled and coated, put into the freezer.  Let them freeze for a good hour and then simply enjoy this tropical bite for the summer fun.

​Now Goodie4U likes to try out a new recipe too.  Because who knows better what is good for you than her?  Especially when this delight is gluten free, dairy free, and in this case, no sugar added.   


Goodie4U is also known for sharing these easy-peazy type of cookies as these don't require cooking either.  Just make them up and store them in the freezer. 
The Ingredients:  32 ounces of regular pitted dates  (NOT Medjool dates unless you want it really sweet)  -- coconut -- 9 ounces of pitted dried prunes.
Picture

​Goodie4U adds roughly a cup of dates (she made three mixtures out of the 32 ounce bag of dates) and about 1/4 cup of prunes.  (Again, she divided up the 9 ounce bag to make three batches of these delights.)  Nothing else was added.





​Next she places the dates and prunes mixture into blender or food processor.
Picture

​Once blended, she drops small amounts into a bowl of flaked coconut and roll them around.  By rolling it around in the bowl instead of your hands, one can get more coconut in the middle of the ball as well as the outside of it.  Once rolled, then place in freezer.  Freeze for at least an hour.

Why this is Serious...

"This is serious,"  thought Goodie4U.  "If the dragons are showing up in the Outie world, they will also be returning to the Realm of Wymsy."  Now overall this wasn't a totally bad thing for the Realm as the Dragons were truly missed when they all had left - taking their magic too.
"But I need to contact Griselda, (the Dowager) as the last member of the Wish Dragon clan (Click the link to learn how the Dowager became a member of the clan).  She will understand how serious this situation is,  mused Goodie4U to herself.  Using the portal stone that Granny Flare had given her,  Goodie4U popped over to the Baron's mansion in the Village on the Wall where the Dowager was currently located. 
In the blink of an eye, Goodie4U was standing in front of the Dowager who was sitting in her favorite chair enjoying her tea.

"Goodie4U, what are you doing here?  AND you're NAKED!!" using her regal high tone the Dowager said trying not to look directly at her.   "Hasn't that Outie given you clothes yet?" she asked.

Suddenly Goodie4U glamoured herself some suitable clothes so she could continue talking with the Dowager  as she replied.  "She is working on some clothes for me but she has been distracted.  The Outie doesn't realize that she has created a  'Dragon portal' my lady."
"Oh My!" replied the Dowager almost dropping her cup of tea.  "Doesn't she know what will happen if the Dragons have a TSR (Totally Short Route) to the Realms instead of going through Customs?" the Dowager asked.
"I don't know," Goodie4U answered.  "I am not sure if she is aware of what happens when Dragons run unchecked like in the tale of Where every good story begins  or why the Wish Dragon clan was formed.  Apparently she may have never heard of these stories before." 
"Thank you for finding out this information,"  the Dowager said.  "What we need to do now is call a Council meeting to determine our next step," she continued.  "Pop back and get dressed.  Find out what you can while I gather everyone for the meeting and then return here."

With a nod of her head Goodie4U held up the portal stone and quickly popped back to the Outie's realm which left her standing there as naked as the day she was born.  "Maybe if I used some Inspirational Dust," Goodie4U thought, "I might be able to get this Outie to start thinking of my clothes instead of about Dragons."
