On the bright side, you can't lose a crop, just whatever's ready to pick at any given time. We call them "dumbapples" back home because they don't have a regular season. They'll flower year round, and fruit year round, as they please.
Banora didn't really have much of a winter, so no dormancy.
Especially after what we saw on the Narrenchiff, yeah? I'd be happy to help in any way I can. Know plenty about preserving stuff the old fashioned way, if I can get my hands on a pressure cooker.
Oh really? That's pretty interesting. And especially good for us, then.
That's the most recent example, yes, but not the only one. But that's good to know, too - I know a little, but we never really had an overabundance of food to actually practice on, growing up. Would you be willing to show me, if we can find one to work with?
What can I say, we like our trees weird and unpredictable.
I'd be happy to show you what I know. Nothing brings people together like good food. What's your name? I'm helping with breakfast this week but that means I've got all afternoon free; I'll bother Archer about if there's pressure cookers around.
I'm Steve - Steve Rogers. I actually work the dinner shift, I just never thought to look for any pressure cookers. I guess I'm used to doing things the old-fashioned way.
Archer definitely knows more about the kitchen and what it has than just about anybody I can think of, though.
Good to meet you, Steve. I thought pressure cookers WERE the old-fashioned way! Anything with electricity is too new-fangled, I'll show you what we can do with some good steel and steam if I get the chance.
I'll see if he knows where I can get the right kind. Ideally with the little jiggly top. If Archer doesn't know, it's not on board.
Well, maybe I should've said old-fashioned and poor. We never had enough money for anything fancy.
That sounds good, though - let me know if he can't find something, and I guess we'll see what else we can manage. Or keep an eye out during the next port that's likely to have cooking appliances.
Huh, canning in an oven. Never tried that. Meat was a bit easier to get than fruit, we could just go hunting the local monsters. Of which there always seemed to be an endless supply..
Nope, not from Earth! But ordinary is ordinary, whether it's labeled Earth or Gaia. I like to think some things are universal, like yard sales and pressure cookers.
That'd be the difference. Not so many opportunities to hunt in the city where I grew up. But also fewer monsters, it seems.
[That does make him laugh, even though it can't come through over text.]
Isn't that the truth. It's nice to find things that seem to be universal truths, though. People are always people, no matter where they're from, I think.

If we're lucky one will be coming up. There's a few things I'd like to scavenge for at a yard sale. Do we ever make ports at anywhere ordinary?
no subject
Of course, meat was expensive so we didn't have a lot of that anyway.
We have, yeah. Sometimes it's even Earth - although if you're not from there, I guess that doesn't really matter, does it.
It feels like it's been a while since we've landed someplace where we can get more than the very basics, though - hopefully we're due.
