The "ABCs of BBM": Round 965! (Rules in first post)

[Toast]

After witnessing the kiss, story Alma seems to reopen the door:

The door opened again a few inches and Alma stood in the narrow light.
What could he say? "Alma, this is Jack Twist, Jack, my wife Alma." His chest was heaving. He could smell Jack -- the intensely familiar odor of cigarettes, musky sweat and a faint sweetness like grass, and with it the rushing cold of the mountain. "Alma," he said, "Jack and me ain't seen each other in four years." As if it were a reason. He was glad the light was dim on the landing but did not turn away from her.
"Sure enough," said Alma in a low voice. She had seen what she had seen. Behind her in the room lightning lit the window like a white sheet waving and the baby cried.

Alma tried unsuccessfully to xert her influence to make Ennis change his mind about going away with Jack by saying: "You sure that foreman won't fire you for taking off?"

Round 4-1-8
The cooking's great!

From our kitchens

[memento]

Alma dished out accusations about Ennis' "fishing trips" and Jack "Nasty" while she dished out the leftovers.

[Fran]

While Ennis was preoccupied with thoughts of Jack, Alma told Alma Jr. that she could be excused from the table after she took one more bite.

[Meryl]

The spare, featureless kitchen in the Twist farmhouse was brightened by a spot of color - a cherry in the cherry cake.

[memento]

Ennis' goose was cooked when Alma cooked up a storm about his cooked up "fishing trips."
