: Well, Good Mornin'.....where am I? This woodshed don't look too familiar. And the low mournful "moo" of them cows don't have the same rich resonance I'm used to hearin'.....lemme roust myself up and take a look outside.....what's that sign on this habitation say-"Gumrot"-Oh, now it's all coming back to me! This here's Mo-hicanland, and I musta spent the night in old cousin Peachy's woodshed! Cousin Peachpit Gumrot, that is. Well, no one's answerin' my knock, and I'm just famished! Wait, Peachy was tellin me last evenin' about some very famous cookin' hereabouts-I believe he said the Victual Vixen was somebody callin' herself Marsha. Think I'll go seek me out some hospo-tality and get to know these here Mo-hicanlanders! And maybe he had too much ale last night, but old Peachy kept gettin' a glazed look in his eyes and sayin'...FUUUUUUUUUUDGE!

Well, well...good morning, Handsome Stranger! *giggle* Y'all are new in these here parts, aren't ye? Welcome to my Famous DownHome Kitchen! Y'all are just in time for breakfast! Today's specials include, but are not limited to, the following:
Capable Cora's Campside Coffee, Duncan's Doughnuts, Over Easy Slab-O-Meat, and last but not least, my world famous Poached Eggs a la Alice, served with the yolks staring blankly about, doncha know! How does that sound?
Oh, and Handsome Stranger, may I ask how you heard of my little establishment? Your Cousin, Peachy? Well, I swan! I haven't seen any Gumrots around here in, oh...two weeks and a bit! They tend to turn up most often when I'm servin' oxtail soup, and the like, bein' as how there's no chewin' involved, doncha know, and the Gumrots are have to be careful of what teeth they have left between them. You say you're their cousin, Grapeshot Ramrod? Pleased to meet you, Sir. Oh MY! Now, I NEVER had anyone kiss my hand before...*blush*...where on this good earth did y'all learn such courtly manners? I'm not rememberin' any of the rest of your kin bein' quite so...er...shall we say, gentlemanly.
Here, let me pour you some more of Capable Cora's Campfire Coffee. Why, of course I can chat a bit. It's not REAL busy this mornin' (HOLD YER HORSES, TABLE 2!! I'LL BE WITH YE IN A MINUTE!!) How are those eggs, Mr. Ramrod? I see y'all belong to the Clean Plate Club...how about a nice piece of fuu-uuudge to top off your meal?
