COIN TOSS

B

"Mushrooms."

"Technically not veggie, but still vegan," he says. "Will they be stuffed?"

"I can stuff them, yes," you say. "In which case I'll also be sure to buy the things needed to make stuffed mushrooms."

"Sweet," he grins.

"Okay, let's get going then," Raven says. "If we're doing extra shopping, we need to be careful not to get caught up in lunch rush traffic."

"Good point," you say. "We'll be back soon."

You and Raven head back to the lift and go down to the garage. You walk over to Shadowfax and ride out.

"We should get the things for Beast Boy's stuffed mushroom dish first," you say. "The meat from the butcher will have been refrigerated, so we don't want them waiting and spoiling in the heat."

"Okay," she says as you reach land. "Do you already have an idea of what you need?"

"Of course," you say.

You drive to the grocery store and find a spot moderately close. You and Raven walk in and you lead the way right to produce section.

"Yes, a nice selection," you say.

You go to where garlic cloves are kept, and use magic to cleanly move aside some of the garlics on the surface.

"The better cloves should be down here," you say, "as they aren't handled as much by customers trying to discern good ones."

You pick out a trio of healthy, plump cloves and put them in one of the store-provided plastic bags.

"Oh, the mushrooms are over here," Raven calls to you.

You walk over and see the selection. The store has done well to keep these all fresh, there's no spots or wrinkling on any of them. You pick out about two dozen of the biggest and best, and pack them in another produce bag. Then you weigh them to get the dollars-per-pound rate, a nice $10 for the bunch and barely a dollar for the cloves.

You also go to the bread section and find a nice loaf of Italian style baguette, then go to the spice section to pick up parsley leaves, already chopped and packed inside a grinder bottle.

"The recipe I'm planning on requires some cheese and ground pepper, but we have that at home," you say as you head for the register.

You set those items on one of the check-out conveyor belts and the cashier checks those in.

$16.30

You use cash, paying $20 and getting back the change with the receipt. You carry everything while you and Raven return to Shadowfax. The items go into the knapsack and you take off again.

You find your way back to the butcher's, the same one you went to just the other day.

"Welcome," the butcher says from the counter. "I remember you. Two Porterhouses, nice and fresh."

"Yes, that was us," you say as you walk up. "But this time, I'm thinking some T-bones and Top Sirloins. Three each, if you please."

"Ah, very good," he says. "I'll get those right away. Could I also interest you in a tenderloin, half price. It's half-price because we need to move them or they'll spoil."

"Well in that case, how about two?"

"Ah, yes, two for the price of one," he says. "Right away, sir."

You and Raven patiently wait while he and one of his employees assemble the eight total pieces of meat.

"That'll be $168.50," he says once he's rung up the many cuts.

You use credit to pay.

"Thank you," you say as you take the receipt as well as the wrapped T-Bones and Sirloins; Raven handles the two smaller Tenderloins.

"You're welcome," he says. "Come again!"
