The weather was changing. Gloomy days, rain, and chilly winds...
All the cavemen of Rock-o-Villas were tired of their damp caves.
They constantly scratched their heads, while asking themselves,
what was happening to their world...Was the sun gone forever? Will
it ever stop raining? When would they be able to go out of the caves
and look for edible sides? All they had left in their rock coolers was meat
room the last dinosaur hunt, and little else!
Their brains were hurting from so much thinking! Even worse, signs
of cave fever were starting to show....particularly at the Ugah's cave!
Ugah-woman, was stone bored of eating T-Rex steaks. She went to
the kitchen area, grabbed a bat swatter and went straight to
Ugah-man, who was taking a nap on a giant sloth rug. Ugah-woman
did not hesitate, she lifted the hand holding the bat swatter and
let him have it. He sat up covering his face...and yelled, "Are you
loosing your pebbles?" She replied angrily, "You wear the mammoth
skins around here...you get something else to eat with the meat,
or there won't be any 'nocturnal predator pretending' for you!".
Ugah-man pulled his tangled hair, hit his chest with his fists
several times, and kicked their giant, pet armadillo. A large slate
plate flew straight to his head, knocking him to his knees.
Ugah-woman said scornfully, "I told you to treat "Madillo" like part
of the family!!" He growled at her...
Ugah-man took off in the rain. No luck. All the the no-meat edibles
were rotten from the water...He headed back home empty handed, and
fearing Ugah-woman. This was one soaking wet, miserable caveman.
As soon as he entered their cave, Ugah-woman asked if he had found
something. He shook his head. She growled and kicked him. He kicked
back. She jumped on him and bit him. He bit back. In a split second
they were wrestling on the floor...The commotion was such, that
one of the cave walls gave in and they stopped the fight to see
what had happened. They went over the rumbled rocks, and into
the new open space. Ugah-woman said, "Hmmmm, I like...we
needed a new room! This rocks, Ugah-man!". He scratched his
head, and said, "But, look...we need to clean up! What is that
strange stuff all over the floor?"
Ugah-woman picked one up, and pressed it between her fingers.
It became mush. "I don't know..looks edible to me!". Ugah-man,
thrilled said, "You mean...we have a whole room of edible mush!"
They looked at each other lovingly and said together, "We will
call the new edible mushroom!!!"
Ugah-woman heated Extra Virgin Mammoth Oil in a pan. Then dded
the clean mushroom caps.
Ugah-man added the salt and pepper...
She looked around and found 2 garlic cloves. He smashed
them with his hand. In went the garlic!
Then...some aged, white, foot stomped, grape nectar. It was
all stirred with a twig. Ugah-woman thought it looked good, and put
on a plate. However, Ugah-man, who was still searching for things
to add to the pan, found an onion. He loved onions!
Ugah woman added a little more oil to the pan...put the chopped
onion in, and said, "Babysaurus, get those T-Rex steaks going on the
hot rocks...this is almost done!"
When the onions were soft, she added the mushrooms in the pan again.
He brought her some edible weeds growing outside the cave...
The weeds were chopped finely with her saber tooth knife...
Remembering she had some butter from the last time they churned
Yak milk, she added some, and saw it melt. Ugah-woman loved how
it smelled!
Ugah-man, let out a loud "Two T-Rex steaks coming up!!".
Ugah-woman, responded happily, "Lots of mushrooms as a side! "
The mushroom and steak dinner was so satisfying that after dinner
the Ugah's sat quietly ...lovingly...by the cave's fire place. "Ugah-babe
tomorrow we will tell everyone to look for rooms full of mush in their
caves". He grunted and held her hand.
Later that night, Ugah-man was given the ok for...
"nocturnal predator pretending".....
