A large room, with pots, pans, serving platters and utensils. Shelves and hooks hanging from the wall hold the implements of the cook's craft. Several wooden counters, as well as a center island are situated around the room. A small table with two chairs is located in one corner. A large fireplace is the central point of focus, with great iron pots resting nearby. The mantel holds several more cooking utensils and the ledge of the fireplace hosts food, currently being warmed.

I like to be a helper around the forge. I help the blacksmith make horseshoes. I feel useful!
Hullo cook, what's on the menu tonight? I just got the pots and pans cleaned up, we should be ready to get started. We are having Turtle soup with wheat crackers. The turtles were caught just yesterday by trappers around Tutenpie lake, as you well know is just 3 miles to the south of where we now stand. Tutenpie turtles! Oh my, what a treat the guests be in fer tonight! Praise to dem trappers! Amen to that good sir. Can you think of a better feast. The only thing is I tasted it and it seems like it may be lacking something. Well, we're in luck good cook - our spice merchant is scheduled to arrive before dinner. I think some cayenne may melds the dish perfectly. That may just be what this dish needs to be perfect. do you think that you coould get me some and bring it to me when he arrives. Here I will provide you with a sack to put it in, as before he arrives there may be a few mor things I need to add to the list. Oh yis of course, of course I will. I do need to get back to the farm just after that to be helpin' with some horse re-shoings. I do hope the merchant arrives with haste! As do I good sir. This turtle soup needs to soak up some of the cayenne before it is finished to be fit to serve. Here is the sack. Oh, yis, bin lookin' fer that sack. Got all me goodies. Is yer wife coming to bake her desserts this evening? I may have to come back if she be doing another batch of pies. Oh you know she will be. She does have the sweetest pies this side of the gugenheim kingdom.  I shall certainly return after my work then! Oh my, where has the time gone and where is dat spice vendor! Im glad you mentioned my wifes pies good sir. If you could pick up a jar of cinnamon I know she would be mighty happy. She mentioned to me yesterday how she was running out.
