I have not had very much experience in preparing food in my life. It seems that such a thing would be a good skill to learn at this time. Is there anyone who could perhaps assist me in this endeavor?

I, too, had to learn how to prepare food for myself. If you like, I can stop by and give you a few lessons.

[devilsandangels]

I would like that very much.

[roseofthetyrells]

Where do you live?

[devilsandangels]

Spire 3

[roseofthetyrells]

I'll see you soon.

[devilsandangels]

Thank you.

[roseofthetyrells]

[there's soon a knock at the door and a voice calling out]

Your Grace? I'm here!

[devilsandangels]

[ Alfred is quick to answer the door and offers her a smile as he ushers her inside the apartment that he is sharing with Hvitserk. At the time, Hvitserk isn't home which probably will make learning much easier than if he had been there. ]

Good afternoon, welcome, m'lady.

[she smiles back and comes in. she's carrying a bag which is holding spaghetti, canned pureed tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and oregano]

Thank you for your kind welcome. Which direction is your kitchen?

I can help you. Hannibal taught me to cook.

[devilsandangels]

I would like that. I think that I have a lot to learn.

[am_i_a_monster]

We can take it one step at a time. Do you have a favourite dish?

[devilsandangels]

I do not really. I always liked lamb.

[am_i_a_monster]

Lamb's a good place to start. A lot of dishes can be made with lamb. We might have to substitute monster meat, but with the right seasonings and cooking, we can make still make a good meal.

[devilsandangels]

Monster meat... that's not going to ever sound very normal, is it?

[am_i_a_monster]

Normal's a relative term. You'll adapt to this place and it will sound more normal. And then something else strange will happen.

[devilsandangels]

I suppose that's reassuring in it's own way.

I'm more a baker than a cook, but basic things I can do, if you like.

[devilsandangels]

I would like that. I don't have a clue of baking either.

[bythewaves]

Ah, that skill I learnt in self-defence - when you have multiple younger siblings and cousins underfoot, knowing how to occupy them becomes inherently useful! But I am glad to share my skill, at need.

[devilsandangels]

I see. I did not have such a need myself. I had an elder brother.

[ And Alfred had been sickly and most of his time had been solitary or with his grandfather or his mother. ]

I am appreciative of any help you can offer.

[bythewaves]

I had both. [ Maglor smiles wryly ]

But being second eldest just means that you become the next person your eldest turns to when they need help!

Is there a time or a place where you would like to learn? Or even something specific in terms of recipes? Not that I can guaruntee knowing what it is, this place being what it is, but I can certainly try.

[devilsandangels]

I think anytime would be alright. Is just my home acceptable?

Why don't you show me your favorite? There is no better time to start trying new things.

[bythewaves]

That will work. And honeycakes it is, then. I will gather some supplies - we are running a little short, but there are fortunately SOME luxuries we still have! Perhaps this afternoon?

[devilsandangels]

That would be perfect.
