[ Have a very excited Italy appear on screen. ]

Today's special is crab-shaped bread!

[ he holds up this

It's not too big, barely larger than a hamburger bun, but it's fresh, given the steam coming off it. ]

Isn't it cute? I finally got the shape to work right and bake properly! I made some in French bread, sourdough, and cinnamon raisin. I also made a few smaller ones stuffed with berries!

Come get some~~~

And all the juices don't just soak into the bread completely?

Action;

[savemegermany]

Not if you prepare the insides right. [ don't ask how. I've never gotten it to work right. I just burn everything. ]

Action;

[rebull]

[I'll assume Italy does well explaining it of course.]

Oh...

Could you show me? I'm pretty interested in this, I've never done anything with uh, bread before, never had the time.

Action;

[savemegermany]

[ Yes, absolutely~~ ]

Si, si, I'd be happy to!

Action;

[rebull]

Heh, okay. Um, what should we start with? Or uh, what should I do? -Wash my hands first! Probably.

Action;

[savemegermany]

Si, si. There's a sink in the kitchen. [ he waves for summoner to follow. ]

Action;

[rebull]

[Which he does! Watching for the horns the whole way.]

Action;

[savemegermany]

The sink's over there. I'll get the ingredients.

Action;

[rebull]

[He'll just go do that, occasionally taking glances back to see what Italy was collecting here and there.]

What do we make first? Or uh, are we going to make those crab bread things? They don't actually have crab in them, do they?

Action;

[savemegermany]

[ Italy shakes his head. ]

Nope, no crab, though you could put some in if you wanted. It's just regular stuff for bread: flour, sugar, butter, water, and yeast. Then we'll stuff them before we bake them.

Action;

[rebull]

Oh uh, stuff the crabs? Wait are the ones you made already stuffed? Or were they just like, fancy shaped bread?

Action;

[savemegermany]

Some are, some aren't. Which would you like to make?

Action;

[rebull]

Hmmm, one with uh, strawberries, maybe?

Action;

[savemegermany]

Sure~~! I have some strawberry stuffing made already~

[ he pulls a rather large strawberry-stuffed jar from the nearby fridge. ]

Action;

[rebull]

Made? You don't just cut them up and put them in?

Action;

[savemegermany]

No, they need to be able to bake properly. [ i think it's like making pie insides. ]

Action;

[rebull]

[ I've made stuffed bread before, it is kinda like pie insides, yep. Summoner's just being stupid. :U ]

Oh... So you add some stuff to them I guess?

Action;

[savemegermany]

[ sounds as dumb as I am with cooking XD ]

Si, si. [ insert brief explanation here ]

Action;

[rebull]

[He can cook! Just...not bake.]

Ooh all right. [Gonna just move over here and take a look at the strawberry filling.]

Okay so, uh, I'm guessing you have to prepare the dough first?

Action;

[savemegermany]

[ aha~ ]

Si, si, we'll need to start mixing the ingredients in here. [ he indicates a a rather large-sized mixer. ]

Action;

[rebull]

[Lysunder nods, moving to an appropriate place to work.]

Okay, so, you said flour, sugar, butter, water, and yeast, right? The amounts matter too, I'd guess, hey?

Action;

[savemegermany]

Si, si. [ he offers some vague amounts. What is this exact measurement business? ] Give or take some depending on how things mix or the quality of the ingredients.

[ check the danger list. your name is on it :O ]

Action;

[rebull]

[I thought I posted? Dangit.]

Ah heh...r-right. [He'll just do his best to follow, keeping in mind different things here and there.]

I'm guesing you get the hang of it as you go? Like uh, just doing things by sight, instead of actually measuring everything out?

Action;

[savemegermany]

Si, it gets easier as you bake more and it just becomes second nature.

Action;

[rebull]

What else can you do that uh, comes at second nature? Mostly like, baking and cooking and stuff? Wait, you said you painted too?
