On Sunday, I found Lucha the bird camping out at the campsite. But I wasn’t interested in wrestling with another villager (or throwing anyone out of the ring town).
Wisp was in town, and I returned his spirits to him. He gave me a flower tabletop mirror to thank me.
Today was Turkey Day, and I found Franklin the chef at the plaza.
He asked me to fetch some local ingredients for his food, but I stopped to speak with my villagers first. Most of them were hanging out at the plaza, just waiting for some food to arrive. Static said he prepared for the event by emptying his stomach.
Most of Franklin’s needed ingredients were things I already in storage, so making the four dishes was surprisingly easy for me. Here’s the full list of what he made:
- clam chowder (from three manila clams)
- pumpkin pie (from an orange pumpkin and a green pumpkin)
- gratin (from a flat mushroom and a potato)
- meunière (from a sea bass and a dab)
Franklin rewarded me with a Turkey Day rug, Turkey Day wall, Turkey Day flooring, and a cornucopia.
But of course, there was the option to improve the dishes by adding some secret ingredients. So I began helping out the few villagers who remained home to cook. By fulfilling their ingredient requests, we can get other ingredients in return.
They’ll also provide tips on what secret ingredients I may need. The pumpkin pie secret ingredient was easy enough: It was just the other two colors of pumpkins. But the other three secret ingredients eluded me for quite a while. I wasn’t having any luck catching them myself, but Rio eventually provided me with all three of them: a Dungeness crab, a scallop, and a barred knifejaw!
Rio is the true MVP of Turkey Day! I couldn’t have done this without her!
For tracking down all of the secret ingredients, Franklin rewarded me with some Turkey Day wheat decor, Turkey Day decorations, a Turkey Day table, and a Turkey Day hearth. And with that, my Turkey Day was complete. 🦃
I hope you all had a good Turkey Day (and/or Thanksgiving)! I’ll be back with another blog entry probably on Saturday.
