[The pink owner of Harmony Garden appears on the screen. Gaura has a smile on his face as he starts.]

It seems I might have gone a little overboard planting fruits and vegetables here at Harmony Garden. I was warned I probably had but in an effort to take care of the abundant harvest I've gone ahead and made a lot of pastries with what was grown for people to come take.

[He turns the camera to show off several delicious pastries. On a long, long table inside Harmony Garden. Okay maybe there's a lot more than just "several".]

They're free to anyone who comes to visit. Please take as many as you like. There's sweet and savory available and if you have questions about them when you come I'll be here to answer them.

You needn't ask!

(( Too bad everything has been so good and he's unable to choose a favorite at this time. But he's especially fond of those apple pastries Gaura made for him before. He laughed at himself and hugged Gaura a little closer. ))

How can I decide when everything you make is so good?

[pinkblinded]

Because I know you have favorites!

[He laughs and gives his nose a playful poke.]

Like I know you loved the apple roses.

[inthewood]

Mm, I do love those very much. Almost as much as I love you.

[pinkblinded]

[He laughs softly and kisses him again.]

I love you too, Henry. Very much.

(( He smiled against Gaura's lips, then, when they pulled apart, asked: ))

Is baking difficult?

[pinkblinded]

It depends on what you bake. Some things are much easier than others. Why?

[inthewood]

Well, cooking is difficult. I wondered if baking is too. I've never done much of either.

[pinkblinded]

[He laughs gently at that.]

Cooking is only difficult when you don't know how to do it. Once you learn it actually isn't that hard unless you're wanting to do something complicated. I'd actually say baking is more challenging since you need to be more precise in your measurements or things can go wrong in the baking part of it.

[inthewood]

Wouldn't that make baking easier? That it's more precise?

[pinkblinded]

You would think so. But with cooking you can always adjust things. Make a soup too salty? You can add more liquid to even it out. With baking if something goes wrong you have to start all over again. It's very difficult to fix once you've made an error.

[inthewood]

Oooooh. (( He's genuinely awed by this revelation! )) You make it seem so very easy, my dear.

[pinkblinded]

[That makes him giggle a bit.] I've had a lot of practice!

[inthewood]

And I profit from it! (( Said as he grabs another pastry and takes a bite! ))

[pinkblinded]

Which is good since I like to keep you well fed. [He presses a kiss to his cheek.]

[inthewood]

I'm happy to inform you that your mission is a smashing success!

[pinkblinded]

[Gaura giggles at that and goes to get one of the pastries for himself. There's lots to go around and there's still more inside too. Plenty for them to have few out here and there to be some more after that.]

Would you like me to teach you how I make the apple roses sometime?

[inthewood]

That seems very complex. Maybe we should start with something simpler?

[pinkblinded]

[Riley laughs again.]

They only look complicated. I promise they're very easy.

[inthewood]

If you promise... I would be happy to try.

[pinkblinded]

I very much promise.

[inthewood]

Alright. We'll give it a try.
