w7 thursday cooking group

[clockpunk]

[ we're in the kitchen!! there's ingredients everywhere - lucas has requested stew, so the first set seems to be chicken and vegetables for a japanese cream stew, since one person here is a baby and can't handle spicy. there's a lot of prep work to be done.

there's a pile of simple baking stuff over to the side to make some sugar cookies, along with some decorative icing and sprinkles. for later, or concurrently?

anyway talk amongst yourselves or ask chrono for any specific advice or help. he's delegating and ready to assist. ]

[HELP. NOT THE ONE PERSON WHO CAN'T HANDLE SPICE it's okay Lucas also doesn't do spice well so whoever that baby is, he's joining them.

Anyway catch his ass accidentally crushing vegetables as he tries to hold them carefully enough to peel them.]

Oh, dear...

[clockpunk]

[ babies the both of you

anyway help. lucas. buddy ]

...maybe I should teach you just like, really good mashed potatoes or something.

[faithkept]

[THEY'RE DOING THEIR BABY BEST LISTEN.

There is a faint feeling of embarrassment...]

Perhaps that's for the best...

[clockpunk]

[ hmm... that won't do. he things for a long moment before coming over with one of those rotational peelers they use in restaurant kitchens, where you just stick the vegetable on a spike and turn the handle. ]

Could you use one of these?

[faithkept]

[JUST LOOKING AT THIS... He has probably never seen one before in his life but it's easy enough to figure out. And he can move it without breaking it to pieces instantly!]

Ah! I think I might be able to.

[clockpunk]

Great. There's usually tools that'll work for any kind of job. [ nodding ] If you have trouble holding things down to cut them, too, use a fork or lay down chopsticks on either side to hold them in place.

[faithkept]

Ah, I'd like to bring some of these tools back with me, really... They would make cooking so much easier. Thank you for the tips, my dear.

[FINALLY HE'S FREE OF HIS SHACKLES.]

[clockpunk]

Maybe you can commission someone to have them made? The design on this one's not too complicated.

[ as usual the "my dear" has his ears burning. help ]

I mean- of course. That's what you're here to learn, right?

[faithkept]

Ah! That's true, I could easily take a picture and just figure out how to make it over there... [...] I do hope that we can take our phones with us.

[PLEASE HIS PICTURES.]

But that's true, so thank you for being a kind teacher.

[outdistanced]

[ lucas is his only friend but. wow. ]

Uh... maybe someone else should handle that part...?

[faithkept]

[:handshake: ALSO LISTEN. NOOO his embarrassment. He will set part of a crushed potato down.]

It seems that I can't quite get the hang of this no matter how many times I try...

[outdistanced]

How did you even get strong enough to do shit like that?

[ like

bro ]

[faithkept]

[A LITTLE SHEEPISHLY...]

I was born like this.

[outdistanced]

[ ah. so you are a freak of nature. ]

And you really can't control it?

[faithkept]

[LISTEN. Yes.]

I can control it much better now than before, but it's a bit difficult when it comes to certain tasks.

[outdistanced]

Good thing there's plenty of us to help out, then. Maybe you can, like - mix things together instead of chopping? I don't really know what we need to do here.

[faithkept]

[Fortunately Chrono saves the day with an industrial crank handle vegetable peeler so he does not have to keep holding things while peeling them. SUCCESS.]

I can do that, yes... And if anything does need to be mashed or cut, I do decently with that, as well.

[outdistanced]

[ snorts ]

You've definitely got the mashed part down. But I wouldn't worry about it - sounds like there's plenty of chopping and other prep work to do, anyway.

[faithkept]

I'm grateful for that, at least... If only I could simply handle just one job in the kitchen.

[Unfortunately when cooking for oneself, one must do All of the jobs.]

[outdistanced]

I get it... Maybe for a different reason? I only started learning to make anything while we've been here.

[faithkept]

Anything... at all? Cooking-wise?

[MAN JUST NEVER COOKED IN HIS LIFE]

[outdistanced]

[ listen ]

Yeah...? It's not like I ever needed to know. We have the cafeteria in the Tower.

[faithkept]

Oh... [OH HE SEES.] Well - have you enjoyed being able to learn, then?

[outdistanced]

I guess...? [ hmm. ] It was nice being able to send a few things through the mail, at least.

[faithkept]

I did hear that the options for food were quite limited until recently, so I'm certain they were happy to receive.
