"I'm glad you like it," he said. "Dinner wont' be long. As soon as we get the side dishes completed, we'll be ready. The pork has been cooking since dinner last night, and we've done it in the tradition of the local people here."
"And it is unbelievable," Kate smiled. "Barbeque is one thing, but this...this is something so totally unique that you can't find it anywhere else but here. Its not barbeque. Its totally different." She finished cutting a fresh pineapple and mixed a fruit salad, with cubes of mango, pomegranite and dragonfruit. She gently stirred them together and poured a pineapple juice dressing over them.
She accio'd a chinese wok and poured a bit of oil into it and tossed a handful of mixed fresh vegetables into it, and flicked her wand to get a large steamer ready to cook some brown rice. She began to stirfry the vegetables with some sauces and spices. "I hope everyone is hungry. We're making a ton of food. Oh, and there is a lovely unusual salad with fruti and vegetables both that I made a couple hours ago. It should be well chilled by now. Are we eating inside, Angus?"
"No, as a matter of fact, we're not. I have a table set up outside so we can eat under the stars by candlelight, but I do need someone to set the table for me. And then perhaps I can get one of the guys to go outside with me and get the pork."
"I'm sure Robert would go if no one else will," Kate said.
"Maybe it needs to be whoever needs to exercise his muscles," Angus laughed.
