Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Maniac Prepares Salad
Hi hi~
Dina's a sweetheart, she's promised to teach me how to cook. First I have to get through the Watch & Take Notes stage.
Combine flour, salt, eggs and water in a bowl and mix until it’s smooth.
What are you making again?
Blintz, love, pay attention.*
What exactly is that?
Er... a mix of pancake and crępe.
I didn't know you could have different types of pancakes or crępes.
Oh, you have not lived until you've tried every kind of food out there, sadly we are limited to salad and fish tacos and that's if the Watcher above is in a good mood.
She oils a pan, turning the heat up and pours the mixture in to cover the pan. Expertly she manoeuvres the pan so the blintz mixture spreads across the whole surface.
Want me to clean up? I ask as she flips the blintz and moves on to the next one.
It’s starting to bother me.
If you'd be so kind.
It didn't take long for Dina to have a plateful of blintz ready and I was still scrubbing away, careful not to break any of my nails.
You need to work faster than that, love; in the culinary world the chef will eat you alive for being a slow coach.
Taking a mouthful I find there's a surprise filling, melty cheese and tuna chunks.
That's my own personal preference, Dina says when I find it hard to swallow. Should have warned you about the fish, ha ha.
It's delicious, just not the fish though.
I'll make a veggie version next time.
The gardening is now left to me and Genie when he isn't fishing or fooling around with the SKL brothers.
I gather some of the harvestables from the garden to make my first meal by myself. The onions didn't even make me cry.
The all important selfie to commemorate the moment.
I don't like tomatoes, and chopping them is messy business.
Look at me toss the salad like a pro.
You want to know what Genie's up to? He's in the pool like he's some kind of hunky merman.
Hey Aquaman, we're going away for the weekend.
Me and you? Sweet.
Blergh. Please, there is no 'me and you', it's for both of our aspirations.
Still, a weekend away with a girl. *flirty wink*
Someone take him away before I kill him. This time tomorrow we'll be in GF so better go pack.
Love from Cora Z Chant.
* They are obviously pancakes but use your imagination please and thank you! NJ.
