My tip for cream is lots of vanilla and sugar.

Table is set, the Blåhaj are waiting for the desert courses.

Chicken and roast potatoes looking good so far.

The secret to moist chicken and flavourful potatoes is basting. Lots of basting.

@JesALady I think the melon starters could still be declared kekf.
@Weehaj The true kekf is not the cherry on top, it's the pudding, biscuits, and hot chocolate courses. They're worried about getting stuffed too early.
@JesALady Self restraint in the presence of kekf? Are they feeling okay? 
@Weehaj Mx. Blåhaj says they're feeling okay, and to ignore what are definitely not cherry stains on their face.
@JesALady Also, is Dr Blåhaj a twin?

@Weehaj Just because Dr. Blåhaj and Mx. Blåhaj look similar to human eyes, first publicly appeared at the same conference, and live together doesn't mean that they're twins.

No comments as to whether they're really good friends.

@JesALady Ah! Hello, Mx Blåhaj! I don’t think we’ve spoken before. I can see why you both keep your badges with you though. Do they act as train tickets, too?
