: Dear Gnome,
: Miss Polly Anna and I have a mind to gather chestnuts tomorrow afternoon, and if I'm not mistaken, she will be bringing Basil along. Can you envision a rich chestnut torte swimming in raisin sauce and topped with fresh whipped cream as a perfect end to a fine meal of green chicken soup?
: Miss Gaylee
That sounds pretty darn good! *smacking gnome lips*. OR, I just happen to have some fresh truffles rooted out of the ground by Old Crone (unfortunately though she slipped her leash and can't be found now). How about Roasted Green Chicken with chestnut stuffing with a rich gravy laced with truffles on the side, summer squash, blueberry torte, and apple brown betty?
Do you think Miss Polly Anna suspects? Shhhhh. Yum. My, I can see that bird basted well with an herb butter of sage and thyme now. Golden brown, sweet tasting from gorging on blueberries (which will put a quick halt to that flying crap too! so heavily laden as he will be from piggery!), all plumply presentable and golden brown!
Mmmmmmmm. Good! Betty Crocker should put it in her book!
