"It depends on what we have available. I usually end up smoking it but I use salt when we have it." The methods Wanda used changed a lot and sometimes it depended on the time of year.

Wanda exhaled and lifted her shoulders in a tired shrug. "Yes and no. A lot of odd things happen here. If you notice, the inn has power but no where else does. Some of the houses do but where power shows up doesn't make sense. Whatever is going on, our captors have full control of this area and for some reason they gave us these guides. Probably because things are going to get worse but I don't know."

All they can do it guess.
