Why hello there!

[Snow White is in her kitchen, which is really pretty standard. This time, however, she's not surrounded by food that is being jarred, pickled, or dried. Her army of animal friends is around her, per the norm. The more observant will notice that Snow has on an apron and has several stray bits of dough and mixing bowls around her.]


Several friends of mine have asked, and I thought, well, why not offer it to everyone!

I would like to offer baking and cooking lessons to everyone who might want them, oh not these friends mind you [Snow gestures to her animals.] they already know how to cook! [Because of course they do]! I can teach you the very basics, or if you'd like, much more advanced lessons as far as I'm able to!

I think everyone should be able to cook. I can teach you how to cook outdoors as well! It's very easy to start a fire once you know the steps.

The only ingredients we won't use are apples, but if there's anything else you've always wanted to learn, I'd be happy to try and help you!

[A songbird tweets something and she turns to look at them.] Hmm? Price? I haven't thought of one, I'm sure we can figure something out. [In that, it will be very likely Snow will ask for nothing in return because she does that.]

I look forward to helping you on your cooking journey!

I would be happy to offer more advanced lessons then! I'm always improving myself, I'm sure even the greatest of chefs are learning new skills too!

Is there something you'd like to learn to cook specifically? Then I know which lessons to focus on.

[blackmothwings]

I'm sure they are too. I believe we are always learning and improving, whether we realize it or not.

[She says amicably, allowing a polite smile to cross her face. She has to think for a moment. Gosh, there are so many things she'd like to improve upon.]

I would like to learn how to cook flavourful roast dinners and cook vegetables without making them too soft and unpleasant. When I try to cook these things, they often end up tasteless, I'm afraid.

[onebadapple]

Oh! Roasted dishes and flavorful vegetables! Yes, alright! Well, the first lesson will be that different vegetables have different roasting times! I like to make vegetable friends! Vegetable friends are vegetables that have similar roasting times.

A dish I like a good deal is roasted pork chops with peaches! Or oh! We could do a leg of lamb with carrots and a honey glaze! Now I'm hungry! [She giggles.]

[blackmothwings]

That is splendid advice. It seems obvious, and yet I've never thought of that. It would explain why mine never really turn out as I'd like.

It is difficult not to feel a little hungry when speaking about such dishes. They both sound wonderful. Let's do the one that you like the most.

[onebadapple]

Oh, but it isn't obvious you see! So many people just simply don't know! And unless you sit there and watch your food, there's certainly nothing to tell you. Most recipes just say "cook until ready" or "bake for an hour" however would that tell you. So you really shouldn't be too hard on yourself!

Roasted pork chops with peaches it is! They go so terribly well together, sweet and savory in one dish!

[blackmothwings]

Thank you. That is rather kind of you to say, and it is reassuring as well. I especially dislike it when recipes tell us to 'cook until ready.' I often find it difficult to tell when it is ready and have undercooked and overcooked dishes on multiple occasions.

Excellent. It sounds just lovely. I truly look forward to learning from you.

[onebadapple]

Oh! I couldn't agree more! I know they say that because every oven is different and the dirtier the oven or hearth, the harder it is to cook, but still!

And I look forward to teaching you!

[blackmothwings]

And what is your name? I'm Lucille. It is lovely to meet you.

[onebadapple]

My name is Snow White! It's wonderful to meet you, Lucille! [Snow has never stood for formalities, partially because she herself is a princess, mostly because she never saw the point.]

[blackmothwings]

[Lucille still feels the need to be polite, in a way that is often distant and cold. It's something she picked up from home, and something she's never been able to lose.]

Have you been here long? In Trench?

[onebadapple]

Since August, so not too long, I suppose! What about yourself?

[blackmothwings]

August, as well. But before Trench, I was in Deerington for... almost two years. It's been a long time since I last saw my home.

[onebadapple]

I have heard mention of Deerington before, it didn't sound very nice. I'm so sorry so many of you seemed to be there.

[blackmothwings]

It was quite horrible, and I'm glad you never had to experience it. Though I'm afraid this world is not much better than Deerington.

[onebadapple]

Oh dear, well, perhaps we can make it better! With hard work I'm sure things can be improved!
