Summer Salads for the Sensory
Australian Summers tend to be inhospitably hot, which makes me lean toward foods that don't require heating or much cooking. On days when I can fry an egg by cracking it onto the pavement (and promptly have a meltdown over the lack of hygiene), the last thing I want to do is spend time in close proximity to a hot stove.

A Flight Of Dragons
There weren't always dragons in the valley. That was not to say that there were never dragons in the valley. The high peaks that surrounded the fertile land, dotted with farms, apparently made for very good nests during early Spring, much to the disgruntlement of the birds of prey who lived there year-round. The goats and other animals who inhabited the lower slopes made for a convenient food supply, and the thermal vents kept the nests warm while the parents hunted.

Holding Ground - Prologue
There weren't always dragons in the valley. Like many other creatures associated with magic and those who practiced it, dragons tended to cluster around Enclaves, where they were treated with more respect than fear, and everything was reasonably fireproof.

Alphabet Islands - Prologue
There weren't always dragons in the valley at the centre of the mountainous island of Aversion Aerie, but there were now. These ones, not much bigger than a small horse or large pony, had appeared a generation or two ago, during the time of the Great Banishment. This was the source of no few jokes, told in naughty whispers awa from the hearing of their disapproving elders. This evolution also led to the Ace Arrows, apparently a pun that made the elders who were in on the joke scowl and mutter angrily, becoming perhaps the most formidible airforce in at least living memory.
