Just River is fine. You're cooking together?

Reaper requested it.

Good man. Would you mind if I watch, or do you want space?

I don't particularly mind. Do you cook, then?

Yeah. I remember cooking for my family in my past.

It sounds like a warm memory...

--Ah, please sit over there if you intend to watch. Honestly, there are so many of you.

Haha. Looks like everyone's interested.

[walkin' over to sit]

And yeah, it's my favorite.

[taping up a list somewhere visible and getting started]

How was your family?

Hm? Oh, they were fine. Pretty rowdy and excited, but that was normal. We had three Varia over too, and they wanted Italian, and Lambo was in a spaghetti phase, so I remembered a lot of types of food.

[doing so much stuff with flour and measuring cups \o/]

Varia?

[nod] I assume you've tried the recipes here. Did they turn out?

They're a specialized branch of the family. Really deadly, and really bossy, picky eaters.

Yeah, they went pretty well actually. Most of the ingredients are there, though there isn't really a good selection of fish. I ought to ask the bosses for some more... What kind of food do you remember?

[That doesn't sound quite like the family I was assuming] "Deadly..."

Ah, I only remember recipes for confections and sweet-breads. I've had to experiment quite a bit with what we are able to gather, but at least the foundation is there...

[8D;]

Oh, you do? I keep trying to figure out melon bread, but I don't have it yet.

. . . Something to do with your family's business?

If you can tell me what the final product should be like, I could probably help.

Yeah. Well, more like something to do with their specialty...

I don't remember it, that's the trouble. It's trial and error for a teammate of mine.

[:|aaa oh well, I suppose that's to be expected of someone on Ophiuchus.]

Ah, I see... Well it could either be a flavor baked into the bread or perhaps a coating... Which have you tried?

I've tried baking it in, and a glaze... It seems to have a lot less to do with the fruit and a lot more with sugar.

[nods] I don't remember a specific melon bread recipe but I think I could come up with a few more methods to try...

Sure, if you've got time to spare. He lights up like a torch when he's thinking about it.

[Kind of looks around himself at all the desserts he's already started... :|a perhaps it's a little overboard.]

Ah... May I ask for one of your recipes in exchange?

[it's like there's a different one for everyone :|a]

Sure.

[Ranging from very sugary to only slightly sweet, and heavy to light textures... Looks like he wanted to try making a bit of everything.]

Something simple I could make for my team.

Hmm... Okay, I can teach you something that tastes good with fish.

[Putting stuff in the fridge to chill, getting other stuff out. Hmm, melon bread :|a.]

We don't normally have much in the way of flavoring, unfortunately.
