5th Floor Common Room - Sunday evening dinner and Glögg Party

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

The fifth floor common room has been decked out for Yule. (That includes jødisk jul.)

Pippi has used the provisions that StuCo has the common room stocked with to make something called "meatloaf". Pippi, being Pippi, has made a mind boggling amount of meatloaf.

She also has a punchbowl out which contains totally non-alcoholic Glögg. (Or "Gløgg" if you're Hamlet.) And she absolutely does not have a several small bottles of akvavit secreted in and among the decorations so people can make their cups more... gloggy.

There's also a spread of nuts, raisins, and gingerbread. Pippi herself is at the stove making æbleskiver.

"Who's Jul?" Willow asked.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Jul isn't a who, it's a when. Like... Yule. It's a catch all for the time of year."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Oh!" Willow said. "Then I am fully behind it. Well I would've been behind Jul's birthday party too, but time of year parties are also fun."

Pippi giggled.

"If Jul was having a birthday around this time, we'd call it Jul Jul."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Of course she'd probably just call it 'my birthday'," Willow said with a grin.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"She might at that." Pippi grinned back and nodded.

"The menu smells great, regardless of the lack of birthday cake," Willow said.

"It's all stuff we Scandinavians eat around this time of year... Except the meatloaf... I just felt like making that after watching the Food Network." Pippi explained. "We don't got cake, but we got able-skeever!"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Yay able-skeever!" Willow said. "What's able-skeever?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"It's kinda a cross between a cream puff and a pancake." Pippi explained.

"These have strawberry preserves in 'em."

Pippi offers Willow a plate with some dough balls sprinkled with powdered sugar.

"Like jelly donuts!" Willow said, delighted. "Which would be a Hanukkah tradition. Which I guess just goes to show that there's more in common between us than our hair."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Well, red hair, radiant beauty, mind boggling intelligence..." Pippi grinned. "Hanukkah is a Jul celebration, it's Jødisk Jul! So it makes sense that there's stuff in common."

"Very good point," Willow said. "So is there an order to the eating or is it whatever looks nummy first?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Whatever looks nummy first of course!" Pippi said.

Then her phone buzzed, indicating she had a voice mail message (http://strongestgirl.livejournal.com/975.html?thread=767183#t767183).

After checking it she seemed puzzled.

"I'll be right back."

She grabbed a glass of glogg and poured something in it from a bottle she grabbed from behind a wreath and then headed down the stairs.

[[ooc: Just trying to establish some sort of coherent timeline. Ping back and I'll ping with her returning from Parker's room if you like.]]
