Hello Konoha

Im glad you liked it. I based it off a similar recipe here but I tweaked it a little. I can type it up and send it to you.

It wsnt too salty?

can send?
i would be glad to try making also
it was much good
not too much salt
and heating again well in MICRO WAVE box

you ‘s people eat any time?
special occasion?

I'll write it out for you and send it. I don't know how to send what i found on my phone but maybe I can figure it out. I think a friend of mine might know so ill ask too. But Ill send it soon! Its nothing crazy hard! Im sure it'll be easy for you to do. And I agree the micro wave is very helpful.

I think you can eat it at any time? Marco's grandmother in law was made it when I was at his wife's store for work. I don't think that was a special occasion so I think she makes it whenever she feels like it. Its not something I ate before but its similar to other dishes Ive made.

thank you another time ALEX
i also am not knowing ways of TECHNOLOGY
but hope you’s friend knows answer and can teach!
in slow speed is fine.

i will trade
there is recipe from i’s village
kind of same feeling
but not!

the technology here is really cool but it can be a lot to get used to. if I really can't ill just take a picture of the recipe and send it to you.

Really? Id love to to learn it! what is it called?

Edited 2022-03-20 21:55 (UTC)

a lot a lot
in i’s world most TECHNOLOGY thing is
loom?
big change to metal world

is called imoni!
beef or pork
with taro
and other mountain vegetable
make in hot pot
like NAVARIN but not!

I don't think Ive seen a loom before. But it must be a big a change.

I don't think Ive heard of taro back where I'm from. Is it similar to something that is here? I might have tried it and didn't know. Is hot pot a special kind of pot?

never?
ALEX’s world also make clothing with big MACHINE?

taro is root vegetable!
there is samelike one here
hot pot can be any pot
but way to make is hot pot
simmer open flame

I guess so? I didn't have a lot of clothing before. Id repair some by hand but otherwise I didn't get myself clothes until I arrived here.

Id like to try it. Maybe we can cook and eat together some time?

One of my favorite things about being here is all the food I get to try. Sometimes I think Im eating too much.

but how get clothing?
store?
in i’s village we make
weave then sew
now so easy like dream
walk to shop
buy
shock…

i would like this much.

and i will tell secret
i think
BRUMFAST had so much tasty food
and is winter
i become larger
just hide beneath winter coat

[ Alex thinks for a moment how to respond. She won't like to Konoha, but she didn't want to make things awkward either. ]

They were picked for me.

[ With Barry she had maybe 3 articles of clothing at a time for however long they would last, and one of them couldn't really count in terms of decency. Worrick had given her a bit more clothing after she had started staying with them, so Alex herself hadn't chosen her own clothes. She couldn't afford them at the time anyway. ]

When I was younger I was able to get old clothes from other people that didn't fit them anymore. I think it's amazing that you can make your own clothes but that sounds like a lot of work too. So much easier to get them now.

oh!
so ALEX is like i
same reaction when people ask “what clothing you like”?
always people ask
color also
but is like rich people question
what color i like wear?
color of dye that is most cheap
or color mother can make
what other color???

[haha rich people, right… ???]

[ ahaha, rich people alright ]

Whatever color doesn't show a lot of dirt? haha. Did you also know how to use a loom?

this is always good choice!
ALEX is much smart.

mother teaches i when i is young
for work when not planting or harvest season
but to be honest i 's skill is not as good with loom
am much better with sewing once weaving is done

should have to improve loom skill though
now living in mountain and i am mother
can not ask i's mother to weave any more.

They probably have looms here? Maybe you can just buy the fabrics and to practice? Maybe you can bring them back with you for your family.

[ That might be wishful thinking...but in the best case scenario, Alex hoped it was something that Konoha would have a choice to do. ]

ALEX is much smart
i buy fabric now when need clothes
sew by self is more easy and cheap than to pay tailor
and is practice
so practice at night making clothing
have for husband and daughter and in-laws
is silly to hope, possible, that can bring with home, but
keeping hands busy

how ALEX keeps hand busy?

[ Smart wasn’t a compliment Alex got often, if at all. While she might not feel it, she still appreciates it all the same. ]

Id say cooking keeps me the most busy. But I think I go out more to eat than actually cook for myself sometimes. So busy feeding myself? That makes me sound like I eat a lot haha. I help with small repair jobs when I work. I learned some before I came here.

Do you like to do other things too? Aside from sewing and cooking.

feeding self is important!
without food can not do anything else.

yes i like.
i practice to read and to write when sun goes down no more farm work
ALEX likes book?

food is very important I agree.

[ Having had so limited meals before, it only felt right to try things now. ]

I do! Im trying to read more now because I didnt have books before. I mostly looked at cook books but Im also reading some school books. What do you like to read?

[see, that’s why Alex is smart!]

cookbook is good!
school book like learning maths or history thing?
amazing!

before i have to read book for child
so now i like book for adult
have story and adult thing inside

Maths and science! A little bit of history here too. Just basic things since I missed out on school. Im glad I get to do that here.

Books for adults?

[ There’s an automatic thought that comes to mind, bur surely that’s not what Konoha meant. ]

math and SCIENCE! amazing
i try to understand SCIENCE some time
but is much for i...

books for adults!
has story that is complicated
also adventure and fighting
and lovemaking
maybe lots of lovemaking
GEM likes this topic i think, is in so many book...
thing like this!

[ Right now it’s basic stuff like…what kinds of clouds there are. She didn’t know they had such fancy names other than fluffy and fluffier.

But adult adult books.

How scandalous… ]

Would you recommend any of them?

[ Tell her more. ]

[Sorry, stop the presses... There are names for the types of clouds that aren't "round shape", "line shape", or "storm shaped"?

But, ahem.]

oh
yes
there is some good one
friends is lending to me for practice reading
so i have many sample
i like LADY OF THE LUNATIAN NIGHT series
is much exciting inside
also
THE WICKED BROTHERHOOD
to be honest the fight scene is sometime too scary for i
but not fighting part is so much emotion!
so sad when character dies...

Ive never read books like that before. Ill check them out! Thank you for recommending them.

[ Little did Alex know, the hole she was about to fall into. ]
