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?

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?

[roseofthetyrells]

I'll see you soon.

[devilsandangels]

Thank you.

[devilsandangels]

I do not really. I always liked lamb.

[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.

[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.

[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?

[devilsandangels]

[ Alfred is very grateful to have her here. He's been at a rather loss when it comes to food and figuring it out on his own hadn't gone very well at all. ]

This way. [ He indicates with a nod of his head and then leads her a short distance to it. ]

[roseofthetyrells]

[she was, too. for a long time. then, she finally forced herself to branch out with the items provided by the shops]

All right. [she follows him to the kitchen] I'll make spaghetti with tomato sauce. It's easy and you don't have to depend on having meat.

[devilsandangels]

[ Alfred hasn't really heard of spaghetti before but he is guessing that it is probably a simple enough dish to start with and he nods at her explanation. ]

That seems to be a good thing around here. [ He's thinking that perhaps it's better not to depend on much of anything, actually. ]

[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.

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

[devilsandangels]

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

[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.

[roseofthetyrells]

[it's relatively simple as long as you can boil water and not burn the sauce]

Yes, it's unwise to get used to much of anything around here. After the attack by the Null, Hope was so drained he was unable to provide food for quite a while.

Where is your kitchen?

[devilsandangels]

Why is it that a god is needed to provide food? [ He still doesn't fully understand this place he is in, clearly.

He motions with his arm and then leads her a little further in to where the small kitchen was. There was nothing special about it but everything about it is relatively unknown and foreign to Alfred. He and Hvitserk had not even tried to fathom what any of the things even do. ]

Here it is.
