“I haven’t seen hoverboards but you might find them around” Sophie replied but perhaps she hadn’t been looking for them. “What do you plan to do with the bell peppers?” she added as his pile of fruit and vegetables was nearly as big as hers. She did like having fresh produce to hand. Orson Ridge

"I will see if I can find one and braise them with spices and then add eggs." It was going to be one colorful food outing but it was delicious. "You ever had?" Sophie Chang

Sophie shook her head as she’d never cooked a pepper that way. She was more used to slicing hers and making them part of a stir fry or salad. So she might well learn something from Orson as well. “We can try different things once we’re at the orphanage. I’ll get some fish while we’re here” she cheerfully said. Ideas were starting to form she could show him a few uses for fish once it was prepared. Orson Ridge

He thought fish would be plentiful here. "That is fine with me it is always good to do things differently." He thought that could work with people young old no matter age honestly. "It seems it will be fun." Sophie Chang

Sophie looked over the fish in the pallets with ice to keep them cool with care and selected a whole Perch and a Cobia. “If you cut this fish right you could use this with skewers and make like a kebab” she replied. “I can do something else with the Perch”. She’d fillet this and then freeze it for later use. “I just hope we have a big enough roasting dish” she added with a little smile. Orson Ridge

"We can stop by a shop and buy one," he said. "I need to pick up a few small things anyway so if you can give me about twenty extra minutes we can pick up a few dishes and take them back with us." If not that was okay too he would gather them later. Sophie Chang

Sophie nodded hearing this. Orson could supply the bigger roasting dish after all. “We can do that. Once we have all we need from the market” she replied. So that was the plan as then they needed roasting dishes. She knew where to get these in the old town. Orson Ridge

"I need to make a note to come here again but I think that I have all that I need for now." He did not want to overload plus this seemed like a place that one could come as long as they were open and he was okay with that. "Dishes will be in town so far step one down if you are ready?" Sophie Chang

“I’m ready” Sophie replied and then they were on their way. It didn’t take long to get to the old town and to find the shop they needed. It did a mixture of houseware things which did include kitchen supplies. Orson Ridge

It was his first trip into town as he looked at the shops through the windows. He did not mean to take in a lot but it was nice to see. "Okay it's a lot bigger than I thought but should not keep us from getting what we need to be able to actually cook what we bought." Sophie Chang

“This is just the old town. The city is much bigger but you do get what you need round here. They should have the larger dishes but I need to wait outside with my bike” she replied. Wheeling your bike into a shop was looked down on but you were fine with a stroller. So she’d leave Orson to it and once he got what he needed they could cook. Orson Ridge

"Yeah I don't trust anyone around my stuff either, I won't take long." He had always had that trait as a kid and kept it as an adult as he took a minute and finally found where he needed to be. He ended up grabbing four pots in total because people who cooked needed lots of things to use as he spotted Sophie. "Ready now." Sophie Chang

Sophie didn’t have to wait long for Orson to get what he was looking for. “Let’s get to the orphanage and get started” she replied. She took two of the pots in her bikes basket to ease his load and then before long they were in the orphanage. Sophie could prepare the fish easily and just like her aunts apartment needed a box to stand on to reach the worktops comfortably. Then she sorted out their purchases to figure out what they could do. Orson Ridge

Orphanages did not look this put together where he came from but neither did most islands and he was not judging it made him feel better. He began to help Sophie with the pots and the things that they had also gathered from the market. "Hm, okay what do you think we could get away with making first after we sort this out?" Sophie Chang

Sophie pondered the question. Given what they’d gotten from the market and what was in the kitchen she could suggest a fusion of both ideas they’d have. “You did talk about skewer kebabs before so how about making a vegetable kebab and I’ll make up some tempura fish nuggets. Both the fish we picked up would batter and fry well” she suggested. She normally had noodles with tempura but well roasted veggie kebabs would be colourful and different. “Could sweet potato chunks also work in the kebab?” Another idea that was left field but might work.
