Coming into the kitchen to see what was going on, she whistled at the sight of the mountain of vegetables. "Are we really going to be able to eat all that? It looks like you went and cleaned the store out." She chuckled and took a couple carrots from the pile to munch on. A couple there was plenty to go around so a few wouldn't make a difference at all. As he explained how he intended to season it, she nodded. "Oh, that's sort of like what Mom does. She scores the surface and then runs it down with spices."<br/><br/>When asked to mash potatoes, she agreed and was quick to get a pot full of water on the stove so they could just plunk the potatoes right in once they were peeled. Del also grabbed a knife and helped out. After he peeled the potatoes, she chopped them up into smaller chunks so they would cook a lot faster. "You may just get a hunting buddy yet, you know. A little weekend trip to get some meat might be nice once Lydia is older. And then she come back and help us cook it all up."
