Re: DINNER PREPERATION
Hugh came over to the kitchens to do cooking before hand. He'd practiced his song a little earlier in the day on his own, and it's one he knows well, so he felt comfortable doing some cooking before hand. He's been in the kitchens some since he arrived, but doesn't know them well, so likely had to ask whomever was there at least about a few things, and probably had to improvise a little from what he was anticipating putting together, but the end dish would have been chicken and the rissoto, and likely a green vegetable (peas probably) if available. Hugh's a decent cook, and he's someone who tends to improvise anyway, so he worked with the herbs that were on hand, and did a lot of testing to see if the herbs were right.
