Jo nodded, "Very." she agreed.

Guest

Bella nodded. "Have you seen any house work that is need of being done?" She because to wash the counter. "I haven't been anywhere in the house besides the kitchen."

Jo shrugged, "I'd think you might need to wait for Mr. Ross to get back... It's his house, after all..."

Guest

"I agree; however, Mr. Ross hasn't been around in a while." She checked the clock. "If he isn't back within an hour and a half, he will most likely miss dinner."

Jo shrugged, "He said he was going into town. He should be back soon..."

Guest

"Alrighty." She said while opening the oven to look at the ham. The smell filled the room. "Smells delicious." She smiled.

Jo nodded in agreement, "It does, indeed..."

Guest

Bella looked at Jo. "Would you like to help me make some pies for dessert?" She asked.

"I'm not much good in the kitchen, but I can give it a shot..." Jo offered, "Might need to wash my hands, first..." she blushed. Her arms were practically covered in dirt and sweat.

Guest

Bella laughed. "Oh shug, I can teach anyone to make a good pie." She looked down at Jo's hands. "Go wash up, and change into something clean, while I prepare the pie." She smiled and grabbed flour.a

Jo came back a little while later, washing off her hands, but she hadn't changed clothes, "Sorry, this is all I got." she apologized.

Guest

Bella looked down at Jo's dingy clothes and smiled. "Now I have something to do after dinner. Make you some clothes." She smiled and looked down at the counter, looking for something Jo could do. "You can smash these blueberries in a bowl."

Subject: Re: The Pit and the Pendulum Thu Apr 15, 2010 8:24 pm

Jo blushed, "What with? M'hands?"

Guest

"You could say that." He said, taking another swig.

Guest

Bella looked at Jo and couldn't help but laugh. "Of course with your hands, darlin'. What else would you use, a hammer?" She had a smile that reached her eyes as she set the blueberries in the bowl.

Jo blushed, doing as she was told.

Claire chuckled, "I must make you aware that you are to tell no one that I am a female. You are presently the only one who knows and I'd like to keep it that way."

Guest

"Make sure they are completely mashed, like jam." Bella went through the other preparations for making the pie, setting aside the pie pan so she could roll out the crust.

Jo nodded, concentrating intently as she did as she was told.

Guest

Bella looked over at Jo. "How are you doing?"

Subject: Re: The Pit and the Pendulum Wed Apr 21, 2010 8:07 pm

"Good, I think..." she muttered, still doing the job.

Guest

"Well, I am ready for your blueberries whenever you think you're done mashing them." Bella started to measure the sugar to mix in with the blueberries.

Subject: Re: The Pit and the Pendulum Wed Apr 21, 2010 9:37 pm

Jo handed them over, "There you are..."

Guest

Bella added the sugar to the blueberries and then added the mixture into the pie crust that was in the pan. She then rolled the top layer of pie crust over the entire thing. "Wanna know a little trick I learned?" She grabbed a fork. "The pie crust will usually fall off easier unless you secure it to the end of the bottom and side crust. Because it is a circle, it is hard to do." Then she began to push the three prongs of the fork against the edge of the pie. "However, this gets the job done."

Jo put her hands on her hips, "Hu... Well ain't that spiffy?"

Guest

Shale looked at her oddly. "And why is that?"
