![]() ![]() Everyone thinks it is an ancient building. That makes me a king that nobody remembers.Īaron greeted me at the door of his office which is in what is called a Victorian house. Aaron called to tell me he had a box of items that had belonged to me long ago when I was the King of Vampires and lived in my castle which no longer stands, on a mountain that is no longer there, in a country that nobody remembers. My next stop was with Aaron Todd, my attorney. I do not know what else one would do with them. Just like me (yes, that is a joke,) A Zucchini Martini. She could cut them up and make them all cute and twisty. Maybe she can garnish cocktails at her bar with them. I dropped a bag of zucchinis off at my friend Cassie’s house. He had true love, if only for a short time. Despite his ridiculous hats, Randolpho is never lacking female attention, but that is not the point. I listened and was both sad, and happy for him. Randolpho told me stories about his life with his wife Kathleen. There are those who say cats do not love and have no souls. They purred and rubbed their heads against his arm. There are those who say Vampires do not love. Maybe Kathleen would have still been alive. I missed so much when I was locked away for so many years. He embraced me and cried cold tears on my shoulder. “I will plant a rose in my yard in honor of Kathleen and your love for her,” I told my friend. It is still so painful to talk about it.” She’d gone to the shops one day to look for some lace. “You were married? You never told me.” Randolpho has been my best friend since we were babies. I use that expression loosely as I am usually cold, but… Randolpho never told me he was married before. Her name was Kathleen just like the actress in the movie.” The trip was full of adventure and craziness just like in Romancing the Stone, only we had Vampire Hunters after us. We were both traveling to California for the Gold Rush. “I met my wife in 1850 while crossing the Isthmus of Panama. “Dear Randolpho, why the tears?” I asked. Randolpho wiped a tear off of his face when the movie had finished. We watched a movie called Romancing the Stone. Randolpho came over tonight to drink wine and blood with me. “It was a thrill for me too,” I told Zoe. “Your lips are cold, but I have to admit that was a thrill Vlad.” “Thank you Zoe,” I said, and gave her a kiss on her cheek. If you ever loved your ex just wish her happiness and move on. I do not know who Peter and Wendy were but I understand what she meant. But you know, I was married before I married Ryan.” Nothing I did was ever good enough for her.” ![]() “Yes, unfortunately, but maybe not unfortunately. “I am not sure I need to be married again. “When are you going to marry Gillian?” Zoe asked. So out of the blue Zoe asks me about my history with relationships. I believe that must be a reference to the vastness of the sky but I am not sure. Then out of the green…or blue, it is out of the blue. It is nice to have a friends who know I am a Vampire so that I might ask such questions. But, Vlad, I wouldn’t advise you try to do blood at home. Stuff with animal protein or low in acid need to be pressure canned in order to be safe. “Zoe,” I asked, “is it possible to can blood at home?” I told Zoe about the time Randolpho became extremely ill due to feeding from someone suffering from food poisoning. I enjoyed hearing the jar tops pop to prove the salsa would be safe for human consumption. Zoe told me the process was called a water bath. It is made of tomatoes and spicy peppers and onions. I do not know why Vampires did not think of this first. The main Vampire food source was preserved. Warm blooded humans would no longer become ill. Zoe, who is exceptionally well versed on such matters, told me that canning was invented around the year 1810. Then the Vampires would be sad because their food went bad. Then the warm blooded humans would get sick and often die. They would spend hour and days and months growing, hunting, raising, baking, cooking, and making food. They could not drink blood like Vampires. It is an amazing thing.īack when I was King of Vampires, before I was locked in a crypt for 300 years and missed most of the amazing technologies ever invented, warm blooded humans had issues with food. Today Zoe told me she was canning and invited me over to help.Ĭanning. I would kill to protect Zoe, her family, and her zucchini plants. Yet, I am thankful that there are people who look out after me. I am not sure what to do with these zucchinis. This is the third bag of these zucchinis I have received in the past two weeks. There are a lot more where that came from. Here are some more zucchini squash from our garden. One of my neighbors left a bag of long green vegetables at my door. ![]()
