� CASTLE GEIST �
In the Castle Kitchens
says to Everyone: with a gust of wintery wind, the girl enters the rear door of the kitchen with her arms laden with a large flour sack. faith kicks the back door closed and heaves the sack up higher in her arms before trudging across to one of the long plank tables. A grun escapes her lips as the girl lifts the sack up onto the table.

: tossing her mane of auburn back the girl pulls off her cloak and goes to hang it on a peg. she then moves to the wall and grabs one of the large wooden canisters. she carries it back to the table and sets it down before taking a knife and slashing the thread holding the sack of flour closed. Careful not to dump flour all over herself, the girl empties the sack into the canister. faith drops the empty cloth sack in a basket near the door and then goes into the pantry. Once there she grabs a basket and begins filling it with apples, a small sack of cinnamon sticks, a small brown nut and a crock of butter.

: Once back at the table, faith sets to work first on the pie crust. she scoops out the flour needed into a bowl and adds a pinch of salt and a large chunk of the butter. she works the butter into the flour with her fingers, then pours just a little water into the bowl until the dough comes together into a little ball. the ball is turned out onto the table and cut into two sections. The first ball is set aside and the girl scatters more flour over the table and grabs a rolling pin from a nearby hook.

: with the rolling pin moving slow and evenly across the dough ball, faith begins to form a large flat circle. She lays the rolling pin at one edge of the circle and with a feathery touch, rolls the circle loosely up onto the pin transferring to a pie pan and letting it drape off the pin to cover the pan completely. Gentle fingers caress over the dough making it fall and mould to the form of the pan.

: with a sharp knife, the girl begins to peel and core the firm green apples placing the sliced pieces into the same bowl she made the dough in. once she has cut the five large apples, a girl removes the cinnamon stick and a metal grate. she runs the cinnamon over the metal file sending a snow fall of aromatic cinnamon to fall over the apple slices. inhaling deeply as she works faith sets the cinnamon aside and does the same with the nut meg, scratching the tiny brown knob across the metal grate. faith sprinkles a handful of brown sugar over the apples and gives the a toss with her fingers before dumping the entire mixture into the pie pan. adding large dollops of butter to the top of the apples faith pats down the filling to make sure it doesn't bubble out while baking.

: with the filling done, faith rolls out the second ball of dough and lays it gently ontop of the pie. she cuts several slits around the pie and presses the edges with her fingers making a regular divot design. The pie is carried to the large dome shaped oven and slide inside. The scent of fresh bread lingers near the oven and draws a rumble from the girl's belly. She walks across the room and gets a slice of bread and a bowl of mutton stew before taking a seat near Cook who is paddling on about the price of cabbage at the market.

: the delicious stew fills a girl's belly as she makes easy work of the bread as well. the girl pours a glass of cider from the pitcher on the table to wash the food down then grabs the sack of parsnips closer and helps cook prepare the root vegetables for the evening's meal. there is much chatter about the warm kitchen as the scents of cooking foods mingle about. After a bit the girl gets up and goes to check on the pie in the oven. With a wooden peel, she turns the pan so that it browns evenly on all sides. the slits in the crust bubble and steam as the apples within cook and soften. faith goes to bring a sack of turnips up from the cellar before checking her pie again. Finding the crust colored to a perfect golden brown, faith removes the pie and sets it on the table to cool.
