Whiskey For My Men, Beer For My Moder
Who: Luca Aurelius + Your Friends Around The Grove | You
What: Only a week late, it's a bar log!
When: Through August/September/Up until I post the next one of these
Where: The Watchtower Bar
Warnings: Alcohol consumption, possibly to excess.
Another month, another round of drinks for the town. It's especially important seeing as how everyone seems to be fondling stones and acting weird. Don't think he doesn't see it. He does. It would be the perfect opportunity for an entrepreneur to raise his rates and charge an arm and a leg for those seeking to get away from their woes.
Nevertheless, prices remain the same.
As always, there's plenty of food to go around. A fresh pot of soup, rather than stew, is on the pot. It's much lighter and more befitting of the hot weather, he thinks. The usual array of bar and card games can be found, for those seeking to challenge (or swindle) their allies.
And of course, one can't forget the ghost, always looming and watching the crowd with subtle delight.
Notably, there is a slight shift in the food being served toward the end of the month. On one specific day, the 28th, for those keeping track, they'll find that instead of Luca's usual soups, stews, and pies, there will be a veritable buffet of appetizers, entrees, and desserts.
Oh my god, there are so many desserts.
On one table, several loaves of fresh bread can be found. Melted, brie cheese can be found in a pot nearby, while another container of spinach dip sits at the ready to be spread. Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries form a colorful display at the center of it all, and yes there is plenty of whipped cream for dipping.
On a second table nearby is an array of items more suited to entrees. Rows of lighter meats, such as glazed duck beast and blackened fish can be found. Curiously, there's no red meat to be found on this table. They are accompanied by bowls of potatoes, rice, and a few lavish salads adorned with berries, apples, and fancy cheeses.
Both of these pale in comparison to the dessert... tables. There's at least three tables pushed together. More fruit can be found here, with caramel and other dipping sauces readily available. Multiple cobblers made from various types of berries and other fruits sit ready and waiting. And at the center of it all? A fudgy triple chocolate cake adorned with raspberries.
It's a lot. And if one were to ask Luca what the occasion is, they'll only receive a shrug. "Just make sure to save some for the others" he'll say.
