[ OMG OMG OMG you guys! THE SFC IS RECORDING! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA -- ... ahem. It's cooking with Sophie today, apparently. She's talked about crablettes, but that's not what's on the menu. Actually, it appears to be cake - and with her is none other than her beloved not!mom, Cheria. Sophie is even wearing a cute little apron with the words, "Kiss the Cook" across the front. She's also carrying another apron for Cheria. This will become important in a moment. ]

Cheria and I are going to make cakes today, so we can share with everyone who wants one.

[ Happy Happy. A-although Sophie, do you not realize how many cakes that would be ._.a ]

Cheria says it can be messy to make a cake, so I have to wear this over my clothes. I don't know why you have to kiss a cook though. Does that happen a lot?

[ Because do not want. She turns to Cheria after a moment, holding up a blue apron. ]

Here Cheria, I found this one for you. [ Enjoy your 'Hands Off My Sexy Behind' apron, Mom. ]

We're going to make cakes with chocolate, and cakes with apples, and cakes with crabs and fish. Mithos, do you want one too?

[ So put your requests in now before someone plays damage control. Also say hello to Pinchy, the live crab she found when she went to the water. And as she's turning away from the SFC she offhandedly comments to the other woman. ]

Cheria, what does a "sexy behind" look like? Is it like a peachbutt?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ More than likely he does - Sophie's not hiding it hohooho ]

Captain, you should wear an apron too, or you'll get all dirty. [ She also points. They only have two little cakes right now. ]

Strawberry and chocolate. [ They're going to have plenty left over for the thanksgiving dinner! ]

[He looks back at the apron after listening to Sophie and begins to put it on.]

That's a good idea. I wouldn't want to get messy.

[He finishes tying his "Hands off my sexy behind" apron on and gets closer to the cakes. He attempts to steal some frosting.]

[ Best apron, Captain. She also makes no attempt to stop him from swiping the frosting. ]

What's your favorite cake, Captain?

Chocolate cherry.

[He closes his eyes and smiles as he imagines his perfect cake.]

Chocolate cake with little pieces of candied cherry, all covered in a rich and smooth chocolate frosting.

[ Hmmm, tasty. But Sophie looks momentarily distressed. Kinda. ]

... we don't have any cherries. [ PING! ]

I'll go and get some! [ She has to get an apron for Tifa anyway. ]

Captain, my friend Mithos is coming here for a wedding cake. Could you give it to him if I'm not back when he gets here?

[ Yep, Mithos is TOTALLY getting married only not because Sophie lets people take things the wrong way without meaning to. ]

Sure, no problem.

[And if Mithos does stop by, Malik will still be wearing his apron.]

I'm going to get another apron too. Tifa and Pascal need aprons. [ Convenient that she can just go to get one. She pauses. ]

And I think we need more frosting too.

I don't think you can ever have enough frosting.

[Malik smiles at the thought of Tifa and Pascal in Sophie's choice of aprons.]

I didn't know we had so many cooks!

Cheria's teaching me. [ Beam. ] But she won't let me use the ... oven. It's hot.

[He rubs his chin.]

How are you going to make crablettes and crab cakes without the oven?

[ Hrm. That is a puzzle. ]

Can I make them cold? [ ... well that might be more "raw" than cold... ]

Eww.

I mean you could, but I don't think they would taste very good.

[ What is that reaction Malik. :D Sophie thinks for a moment, and then pings! ]

Yuri. I was going to tell him how to make crablettes, so he can use the stove when Cheria isn't here. [ Beam! ]

Yuri? Yuri Lowell? We spoke just a bit back when Hubert was... injured.

That could work...

Sophie, wouldn't it be easier if I or someone else here made them?

Or... [He pauses again.]

I could teach you how to use an oven.

Yes, that's him.

[ A pause. Well yes, it would be easier, she supposes - but it's the offer that gets a blink. ]

You can? I want to learn how then. [ She can help Cheria cook, and she can cook with Yuri and Tifa too! ]

It's easy. There are only two rules.

The first rule is: ovens are hot. Don't burn yourself.

The second rule is: ovens are hot. Don't leave food unattended. You could start a fire or burn your food.

[ She is an attentive student. Ovens are hot. Simple enough! ]

That's why Cheria wears the aprons and those gloves, right?

The apron helps keep food from getting on your clothes and the gloves help with getting things out of the oven. Right.

There are only a few knobs. This one controls how the oven heats up...

[He points to the knob that says 'bake,broil,etc.'.]

... and this one controls the temperature. For your average baking needs you can just set it on 'Bake' and most things cook at around 350-400 degrees.

Each of the heating coils on the range has a knob too. [He points to those as well.]

[ She watches everything very intently, fascinated. She'll get to make things for Cheria too, soon! Looking at the knobs as he points them out, she raises a hand and indicates two in particular as well. Bake and Broil in particular. ]

Those two are different. How come?

It's how the heat is applied.

Broil is a little like grilling something. The oven has very high heat, and it's meant to make a crispy surface. If you're not careful, you can easily burn things on that setting.

Bake evenly distributes the heat and you're able to control the temperature better. I would stick with the 'Bake' option until you become more experienced with an oven. It's also the setting you'll want to use for most baking - like crab cakes.

((OOC: Assuming they're not deep fried! Mmmmm...))

[ She hms thoughtfully, nodding - but it's the bake setting Malik mentions that interests her most. ]

So I can make crablettes for Cheria, like she makes for me?

[ Mmm, deep fried crab cakes. ]

Of course you can! Crablettes are the easiest to make.

Do you know how it's done?

[ Sophie shakes her head. ]

No, I don't. But I saw pictures of it in the recipe book.

If you can find it, let's take a look. We can work through it together.

((OOC: Crablettes = crab omlettes? I have my own ideas on what it is, but don't know if you have a particular thing in mind.))

Okay. [ She trots on over to the recipe book in fact, bringing it back over to Malik as she flipped pages in search of the treat. ]

Here it is.

[ ooc: That pretty much what I was thinking it was, yah :D That or really flat crab cakes, but I was leaning more towards the omelette version. ]
