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.]

Those sound rather nice.

[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.

I've made other biscuits. Never this particular recipe, though.

[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.
proudofwhatiam: (good show)

That's the hardest bit, isn't it? I've always got to be careful not to get distracted by a book.

[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.
