Indoor Dining still exists in the Selkie setting because I’m not bringing that thing into the story.

Seamstress (VO): Next for measurements!
Amanda: Oooh ooh! ME ME!
Todd: So, Steve didn't want to come?
Marta: For the dresses? Hell no.
Marta: Dad took Steve to hold our table at the restaurant and do some "bonding"
Theo: Now you TELL ME, son! Are you ready to marry my daughter?!
Steve: YES SIR!
Theo: I don't FEEL IT! Gimme some gusto!
Steve: YES SIR! ONE HUNDRED PERCENT, SIR!
Theo: Still not FEELING IT, soldier!
Steve: YES! SIR!
Todd: You let Dad and Steve go alone? They'll be thrown out before we ever get seated.
Marta: They better not. If I don't get three pints and at least five-hundred-thousand scovilles of wings, they get to deal with Hangry Marta.

I lost a lot of my spicy tolerance after taking a Wing Challenge that gave me an upset stomach for four hours.
Thank you about not bringing it in. I wear my mask, I do what needs to be done but it is nice seeing a break from all this.
We read this partially to escape the real world. Hooray for not bringing that thing into the comic.
I mean, we don’t have an aquatic civilization living in Lake Superior, so it’s fair for that thing to not be present.
We don’t have an aquatic civilization living in Lake Superior yet.
Are we sure we don’t have one living in Lake Superior. Still wondering about the SS Edmund Fitzgerald.
It’s now part of the growing underwater habitat.
That we know of.
Funny thing about what we don’t know.
We are getting reports from all over the world about UFOs now.
So Selkieverse, is possible if we consider all the permutations of all the atoms in the universe in all the possible configurations over all eternity.
In your defense, with comic book time, this is probably taking place in 2011.
I totally get where Marta is coming from because as much as I love my mom and aunt, they were kind of driving me nuts when we were shopping for my wedding dress. My aunt particularly. Fortunately, I had three good friends there that kept me from going off the deep end that day.
If you’re shopping for clothes for a wedding, make sure you, A) have good friends with you to help with your sanity, and B) have good food lined up somewhere before, during, and after dress shopping. If you’ve got friends and food, you’ll be less likely to tear someone’s head off at the end of the day. Same goes for the wedding day, pretty much.
And if you’re a friend attending someone’s wedding, do the bride and groom a favor and make sure to set some food and drinks aside for the couple before everyone else starts really tearing into the food–or sneak them something to munch on before the ceremony. Sometimes the bride and groom don’t get to eat much because of everyone wanting to congratulate them, ect., so they’d definitely appreciate it if someone ensured they had food at some point. I know I sure as heck did.
Oh, yes–I had a half a piece of toast and a glass of milk between 6am and noonish on my wedding day…
For my wife’s and I’s wedding, we kinda did a pot luck, not that we required people to bring something but we made most of it ourselves but some family were kind enough to also bring a dish. My dad brought a pot of his chili which I absolutely adore but I didn’t get so much as a spoonful…. only down part of a great day.
Scovill standards: one should always respect one’s threshold.
“that thing” has a name, it’s “Donald”.
For US yes – for the rest of the world, they do have their own takes on it. But as someone said before I think that it’s still 2011 in the comic world, and neither current politics nor illnesses need to show up. They have their own tyrant in the lake to worry about.
and Gien is his lackey. However and wherever the one Tyrant maybe, there is still The One True Termigant; and her name is Mrs.
Marta b smol.
I don’t like food when it’s so hot that there’s no other flavor besides the spice. I absolutely love spicy food and will often get a green curry from my local thai restaurant, but they got a spice called “thai hot” that literally made me vomit from the heat.
Same. I don’t get why people eat stuff that is too spicy to even taste other than burning your tongue. Though I am also one of those that finds eating a chore, so having the food taste good helps with making sure that I do eat. Ruining my tastebuds and digestive tract doesn’t help with that.
I’m not one for spicy foods at all. My wife gets an order of wings labeled “slap your mama” from our local pizza place, and everyone else in the family loves them… not me! (She once sent Szechuan food from a Chinese restaurant back for not being spicy ENOUGH!)
Unfortunately I think once you go heavy into the spice world, you have to keep upping it to get that strong spicy flavor since you grow immune to lesser amounts. I can handle more spice than my parents since my undergraduate school chefs were of Indian descent, so did a lot of samosas and more spicier stuff. My mom on the other hand tends to follow the stereotypical midwestern palate, though oddly enough we put chili powder in our spaghetti sauce.
I love Marta’s measure for how many wings she needs!
