Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Afternoon

Nov 27, 2013 16:00

Gert's hands were washed. Her hair was tied back. There was a steady stream of Black Friday sale ads playing in the background, courtesy of a radio that wouldn't turn off. (They still made radios?) And Gert was standing at the kitchen counter with a printed-out recipe and all the ingredients she needed for potato pancakes, plus a few extra spices ( Read more... )

Evan had his cranberry sauce ingredients on standby. First thing was first, after all. They were going to figure out Gert's latkes today if it killed them.

"I'm kind of made for cutting onions," he announced, and then grinned a little. "They're pretty brutal if you stay close to them, but I don't have to."

The joys of shapeshifting noodly arms!

"That might be the most useful power I've heard of yet," Gert decided. "Which raises the question of why of the two of us, I'm the one working at a food place."

She shook her head. "The recipe calls for four tablespoons," she said, squinting, "so I'm guessing that's... one onion?"

Maybe?

"... Who measures onions in tablespoons?" Even Evan was a little confused by that one. But he shrugged and reached for one of the onions, and then set it down on the cutting board. "I mean, I guess I can just start cutting until four tablespoons are full up. How finely do they need to be chopped, does it say?"

She scanned the page, and, finding nothing, flipped it over as though the answer might be on the back. No such luck. "Nope," she said. "Uh, use your judgment?"

She looked apologetic about how helpful that wasn't, at least.

"Anything you want me to do for the cranberry sauce while you're working on that?" Because teamwork!

"I smell free food," Cade said hopefully. "Right?"

"Right and wrong," Gert said. "It's tomorrow's free food. But you can taste-test if you're willing to come up with constructive comments."

"So 'needs more salt' yes, 'tastes like ass' no?" Cade ventured.

"Maybe Evan will be cool with 'tastes like ass' in relation to his cranberry sauce, but for the potato things, definitely not," Gert confirmed.

She scooped a couple of very slightly charred, but perfectly edible potato pancakes onto a plate and passed it to Cade. "Bon appetit. I hope."
