Who: Elizabeth & YOU!
What: she said she wanted to cook, so she's going to do it! there may or may not be a certain smell of smoke coming from the kitchen...
When: Day 371? a day after she made that network post.
Where: Odin kitchen! but anyone from any district is welcome to come by!
Rating: G for GOOD COOKIN
[she must've borrowed at least a dozen cookbooks from the library to find just the right kind of recipe she'd like to try. a cake was what she wanted to make originally but figuring that would've been a tad too messy for a first try she ultimately decided on going with cookies. just simple, chocolate chip cookies.
at least she thought they'd be simple.
apparently reading & starting another recipe while one is baking isn't quite a good idea because then one loses track of time & well--]
Oh--! No, the cookies!
[Elizabeth rushes to the oven, opening it to find her cookies burnt to a crisp. in a hurry she reaches to take the pan out but forgot to reach for an ovenmit in her frenzy.] Ow...
[the burned fingers go into her mouth while she groans, turning the oven off before staring at the charred black mounds that she had hoped would be cookies with a pout.]

[there's a tired sigh but she hasn't given up yet!] I'll just have to try again.
no subject
[She's not familiar with that variety. Perhaps it's an American one.]
That's the spirit! Baking's an awfully exact sort of thing, from what I recall. I was never particularly skilled with it.

Have you made them before, Evy?
no subject
[She was always much more partial to cooking things; you don't have to measure out spices so carefully when you do that, just throw things in until it tastes nice.]
It's really not a bad start, though--you must've gotten everything else right, if they held together.

I guess I have to pay more attention.
no subject
[Ah, the librarian's lament. Books are just so much more interesting than waiting for things to bake.]
But I'm sure your next batch will come out much better.
no subject
[Elizabeth sighs but pushes herself up from the floor and dusts herself off.] I'll just have to be more careful and focus on one thing at a time.
