Winter Solstice Happy Hour!

[sunbaked_baker]

It takes Rae a number of trips to deposit all of her Solstice gifts with the bar. Autor, Jay, Ragnar, Athelstan, Sinric, Tahno, Diaval, Gavroche, Alana Bloom, Bonnie Murdock, Pearse Harman, John Childermass, John Segundus, Dorian Gray, Matt Murdock, Floki, and Hannibal Lecter will each have gifts waiting for them the next time they come to the bar.

With that done, Rae starts preparing for her Happy Hour shift. The season lends itself to warm, filling fare, and hot drinks. To her frustration, she hasn't been able to find any more pans or spoons than what she and the rats have been able to keep safe, so the menu Rae puts up on the Specials board is rather truncated today compared to her usual offerings. She has had to stick to things that can be kept hot while other things cook:

Winter Solstice Happy Hour Specials
Dinner:
Vegetarian Pot Pies
Cheesy Zucchini Quiche
Butternut Squash, Apple Cider and Cheddar Soup with roasted garlic grilled cheese croutons
Pumpkin Chili

Desserts:
Pumpkin Spice Braided Brioche Knots
Blackberry and Pear Galette with Rosemary
Lavender-Peach Strudel

Drinks:
Mulled Cider
Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa
Ginger Latte
Hot Lemonade


Rae settles behind the bar, feeling the good, accomplished kind of worn out, and pours herself a big mug of the hot-sweet-tart lemonade before turning to face the bar room with a smile.

"Happy Solstice, everyone! It's Happy Hour. What'll it be?"

Camille walks into the bar, and immediately treats those within earshot of the door of some vicious French vindictive - her shorts and short-sleeved shirt are absolutely no good in a bar in the middle of a Scottish winter. The Bar earns a dirty glare - what, is that stupid piece of wood trying to kill her with hypothermia?

There are advantages of living in a multi-faith family; one of which is that you get to celebrate more than one set of holidays.

Fry and Coral, therefore, are in the main bar doing some carol singing, him on the piano and her beside it. There's a bucket in front of them with the following sign on:

'Tips will go half to the Scouts and half to the Holby Specail Care Baby Unit.'

At the moment they are singing 'Jingle Bells', which is relatively straightforward on the piano.

Noriko comes into Milliways today with her hair still wet and an almost-empty jar (labeled as whipped lotion) in her hands, looking mildly disappointed, until she notices her surroundings have changed.

"Hey, free kitchen," she says, brightening, and makes a pit stop by the bar for coconut oil and a few other ingredients not...commonly used in cooking, namely milk and honey powder. Those things in hand she heads for the kitchen, and only a few minutes later the telltale whirr of the KitchenAid mixer is buzzing out towards the main bar.

Feel free to ask.
