( all things considered, it's felt pretty quiet here as of late and stefan's not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. it's...something.

but it's also left him somewhat bored. )

I'm thinking of offering up some cooking classes here and there. I feel kind of like I'm not doing enough to keep busy and I like food.

( well, he likes blood the most but you know. )

So, let's talk favorite foods. What kinds of things would you like to learn to cook? Or hell, what kinds of things would you want someone else to cook so you could eat?

( Peter has no idea that his demon anonymously spoke to someone by this username some months ago, or else he'd probably be a little more guarded, considering... everything that was discussed. But all he is now is a bit visibly shy to be speaking to a stranger, albeit friendly — cooking's a thing that's kiiiind of been on his mind lately. )

Cooking classes would definitely beat having to teach myself how to make pasta by watching youtube videos.

Maybe learning how to like, cook meat the right way? Without overcooking or under. I'm kind of cursed in the kitchen.

[prescind]

Hey, that beats what I had to do. When I was younger, Youtube wasn't really a good thing so it was just pictures in a book. Not always helpful. I burned a lot of things.

( trial and error and all. )

Meat's a tough one. The cut of meat depends on how you cook it. Any specific meat you're looking to cook?

[possessum]

Oh man, old school, huh. This place definitely doesn't make it easy either. Like flavouring stuff... wish I could just march up to a Kroger and get some Tabasco sauce.

( He's been able to find some stuff to make things taste better, but it's certainly a challenge. )

Honestly... I'd love to be able to make a really good cheeseburger for someone. I mean— for me too, but... for someone else, mostly. I don't think she's ever had one before, and there's nothing like a cheeseburger that's done the right way.

( ...Yes this is about a girl. )

[prescind]

Ain't that the truth? I didn't live in a big city where I come from but it was still easy to find a store to get seasonings, spices, ingredients. Here, it's kind of hit and miss.

( thanks, trench. )

Never had a cheeseburger? And I thought I missed out on some stuff. But we can do that. You know how she likes her meat? Like well done or medium? Or something like that?

( isn't it always about a girl? )

[possessum]

Are you from uh, somewhere on Earth? Always weird to ask people that. ( Peter gives a soft laugh. Even a year into this place and it's still strange that most people he meets aren't. )

She grew up somewhere pretty remote, I think — definitely no gooey cheeseburgers around.

She's more a well-done kind of person, but I feel like not burning it would be kinda a challenge?

... I like burgers. They remind me of friends.

Ah, but... growing up we had a simple meat stew. It's not hard to make and it uses cuts of meat that tend to get cast off by others. I could show you how to make it if you'd like. I was usually the one tending the camp while the others hunted, so I learned how to cook simple things early on.

[prescind]

Meat stew? Were there any specific meats that went in it or was it kind of whatever was available?

( stews were really good for winter days. )

[aetherweaver]

Mostly whatever was available. The creatures we had most available were aldgoats. Similar to pictures I've seen of goats on Earth, but larger and wider.

[Since at this point Earth seems to be the most popular world to come from...]

[prescind]

I don't think I've actually ever had goat.

( well, not in a...stew. but there were some goats that he'd eaten while he'd been on his vampire diet. )

What do they taste like?

I could murder a mince pie. Never was one for cooking them, but eating them? Certainly.

[prescind]

Mince pie? Gotta confess that I'm not much of a baker but I'm with you, I do like to eat them.

Haven't had one in a long, long time though.

[givetheslip]

We had it often while crusading. More out of convenience than preference, but I suppose they'd both have led to the same end.

[prescind]

Crusading?

( can't help but ask about that. )

What dictates "enough to keep busy?"

[prescind]

Depends on the person. Me, I just feel like I'm not doing enough and I feel listless.

( he'd been around a long time though. )

[in_loveless_memory]

And you want to do cooking for other people or teaching them to? Lots of teachers in this place.

[prescind]

Just teaching. Nothing official but we all gotta eat, right?

[ man, everyone's talking about food lately. wanda's wondering if there's something in the water that she's not drinking. ]

Do you like pizza?

[prescind]

I love pizza.

( of course he does. )

Why, are you gonna try and teach me to make pizza or do you wanna know how to do that?

[explosion]

[ there's something about stefan salvatore that always makes wanda want to huff and puff and show off. it might have something to do with the fact she really likes trying to freak him and his weird super senses out. ]

Every time I try and make it, it ends up all messed up. [ she flutters her fingers around. ] Either too burnt or too cheesy.

[prescind]

Okay.

You making your own dough?

That's a very good idea! I've seen many individuals offering defense training, but basic life skills seem harder to come by.

Have you gotten many takers yet?

[prescind]

Some.

Are you interested?

[knowsvinewhip]

I should probably save the space for those who need instruction.

Cooking and other household chores are something I've always enjoyed doing.

[prescind]

Household chores? I can't say I enjoy those, unfortunately.
