Just for context, when I say I live by an absurdly large lake, this is the beach down the street. I do not recommend swimming in this water without a buddy. Thankfully, Princess gracefully guarded the grill from gulls while Pants and I jumped in the waves.
They are pretty good fire cooks. I happily eat their food.
As a polycule, we regularly do dinner together twice a week. It took several years, a serious injury, and discovering $5 movie night at the local cinema before we got our rhythm down, but it helps keep us bonded.
We’re very much a vee, not a triad. For this to work, I could not be the one dictating the when and what of our polycule adventures. Princess and Pants had to find things that they both were comfortable with and excited about and then invite me along.
Okay, like every other week it is us doing laundry. No one is excited about doing laundry. But having food and company does make it better.
