[There's quite a lot of space filled with random words and letters. It doesn't make much sense when you read it aloud, but Sorata was using his communicator's translating function to help read English; typing in the letters and words and having them switch to Japanese

A sponge cake? It's not that fucking hard.

Sift the flour with the rest of the dry ingredients, whisk the eggs until creamy. Slowly mix in flour and water with the eggs, beginning and ending with flour. Whisk the egg yolks until stiff and fluffy, carefully turn them into the batter. Pour into a greased pan and bake on medium to high heat for approximately 30 minutes, until batter is completly solified. Serve with fresh or, in this case, canned fruit.

I see. It's lucky we have some fresh strawberries, too, isn't it?

But more significantly! You know that by heart? I'm really impressed! I suppose this means you must be a great cook, right?

Fresh strawberries? Here?

I've been a cook all my life, you pick up a thing or two.

Not exactly a lot of them, but we've a greenhouse, you see.

I see! That's really useful! I personally like cooking, but I've never done it as anything more than a hobby or a way to eat things I like before I came here. You should work for the restaurant!

If the book's in English, why do you need a Japanese - English dictionary?

[shockinglycool]

To read it more easily!

[cheatingbelief]

Wouldn't an English - Japanese dictionary work better, then?

[shockinglycool]

...

...There's a difference?

[galaxy_fairy]

I know Japanese and English.

[shockinglycool]

You do? Wow, how impressive!

[galaxy_fairy]

Since you live right next door, I wouldn't have any problems translating a recipe for you when needed.

[shockinglycool]

I'll have to try to not take advantage of that generous offer.

I could help you!

[shockinglycool]

With which part?

[rampageofred]

Most of it, duh! But I better get some of the sponge cake in return! :)

Well, I'm still not sure how I'm going to make it - I mean, we don't really have ovens here - but of course, sharing it is only natural. I'm trying to pass it off on Umi-chan - she's a coworker is that the right word? of mine, but she's much better at desserts.

Sorata! Can we make cookies?

[shockinglycool]

I don't see why not! There's gotta exist a "cookies without butter" recipe somewhere in this new cookbook, and I'll definitely find it for you.

[sometimes_bites]

Great! Fai and Yuui and I wanna make them together! It's like a cookie party, since Fai and me didn't get to go to the Simon party.

The "Simon party?"
