A Delightful Aroma to Bring on Joy Who: Matt Prept and Annie Sawyer What: Cooking, talking. Where: Back kitchen car When: Early morning Warnings/Ratings: TBD Status: Closed and Ongoing
Matt was enjoying himself. He had gotten up early, just enough to not be in the way of the morning kitchen people in the back kitchens, and gone to make some cookies. He was still a little rocky at it, so he wanted to try it on his own. If he could get it, then yay! If not, then, well, there would be no one to see.
Thankfully, this morning, the cooking mojo was with him. His first batch came out, not remotely perfect, but good, and he bounced around, enthused as he made the rest, feeling a surge of joy. He could cook! Some! He laughed at himself. He had so much to learn yet, and he was so grateful to everyone for answering questions, that he was really quite bouncy now. This was awesome!
He cooked the last few batches carefully, trying for edgings on some of them. Once they were all done, he set to cleaning up before breakfast time. And the aroma of freshly baked cookies filed the kitchen car, and possibly the dining car besides! He was grinning and bouncing as he cleaned. Cleaning sucked but, you know? He had made cookies!
