Gothic Redemption

As mysteriously as they arrived, the Gothic Tribes are all heading back to their traditional lands tomorrow (the Visigoths already left on Monday). While the Goths were here there was a demand that the Imperial Family allow the Combined Tribes to produce photographic evidence that they had indeed captured the Imperial Family (such things bringing a lot of street cred to your barbarian tribe). 

Thus all were gathered to participate.

 Sino_Goth Princess Pu Lee Shah had arranged for a photographer.

Nothing says Gothic Street Cred than having a civilized picture with the Imperials as 2.1 has in this shot.

In addition to having to have our capture documented photographically, it was demanded that a feast be prepared for the occasion. I had gone out and secured large portions of meat and had them smoked and grilled. But to my surprise (and joy), the younger Goths all declared they wished to cook with his Imperial Excellence, de-I. 

Now one can be excused as wondering if this is merely a show. "Hey let's show up in the kitchen. Get some photo ops. And post them for Gothic street cred. But NO! These Goths came to COOK. They knew the dishes they wanted to prepare and prepare them they did. All his Excellency de-I did was make sure they had what they needed when they needed. It was magical.

Getting Started

The love of cooking extends to another generation - congratulations, you have won!

I am always amazed how your family regularly coordinates a professional photographer and lots of many matching outfits. Looks great!
