Chapter 2
“Real funny.” James’ face had sarcasm written all over it. “Fine. You cook this time. Let’s see if you can do any better.”
“You didn’t really set the bar high,” Tom laughed. “By the way, did you by chance find any cumin?”
“Yeah, sure.” James didn’t even bother to look at Tom – showing no signs he’s giving the herb over to him.
“So… Can you… Give it to me?”
“I didn’t find any, dummy, I’m just messing with you. But hey, I'll make sure to put it on the grocery list for next time.”
“There’s no need to be rude just because you can’t cook.” Tom poured some extra oil on the fire. “What did you find then?”
James reached into his pockets and pulled out some fresh and some dry herbs without even bothering to tell Tom about his findings. “This.”
“Just put it over there,” Tom pointed at the ground next to the skinned rabbit. “I’ll go clean my hands and you take care of the fire and prepare the spit, okay?”
“Sure. At least I can be of some use. I’ll go find some Y shaped sticks.” James called behind Tom – who was already on his way to his horse – while looking through the sticks he brought back from his last trip. “Must’ve forgot about those.” James got up and left to search for two Y shaped sticks he could use to make a spit.

🤠 Howdy.
Howdy partner! You got any cumin?
No, but I've got a whole bag of turmeric just for you!
Hmmmm. It might do. It really might. Based on their cooking skills, I don't think it matters what herb/spice it is.
It's a purdy shade of yellow. And it's good for your health, which is important to cowboys who might not be able to make it to all their doctor checkups. Just sprinkle some into your beans.
Beans... I now crave beans... Not with the turmeric, really, but beans.
Cooked beans, some onion, oil and vinegar dressing... I really crave myself a salad right now.
Where I live, we eat our beans with a little cayenne pepper and some cornbread on the side.
Hmmm. I would very much like to try that. :P
