WHO: Oliver and OTA
WHAT: Oliver is poking around the kitchen
WHEN: Thursday afternoon
WARNINGS: Shouldn't be any
STATUS: Open/In Progress

Oliver had been excited when Wanda had suggested a BBQ for the week's gathering. Not only would it good to get everyone together, he hoped that Felicity would feel like eating something. She was doing better but he still worried about her even though they'd been assured everything was fine and the baby was moving. While she rested, he decided to head to the Community Center and troll around the kitchen to see what was there. He'd offered to help cook and maybe there were some things he could use to make a dessert out of since it seemed they'd have plenty of meat.

He was kneeling down, looking into a cabinet when he heard someone come in and didn't immediately look up. After a moment, he stood up and turned around, smiling at the person in the doorway."Hey, what's up? I'm trying to see if I can find some things to make a dessert for Saturday night."

"that would be nice," he said. "two heads are better than one when it comes to just about anything. I was thinking dessert because most everyone likes dessert and it's not hard to make. We certainly have plenty of fruit on the island." Oliver was looking in some of the baskets sitting around the kitchen. He found a basket of apples and picked them up.

"These should be good. We can do something with them," he put them on the counter. "Now what do you suggest? I'm pretty flexible and I like learning how to make new things so if there's something you want, we can give it a shot."

It was very kind of him to let her help, and Ella smiled in her thanks. "Dessert is usually a favorite," she agreed. And the apples did look quite lovely. "Perhaps some kind of tart or cobbler? I know recipes for both that we should be able to make with what we have on hand already," she suggested, looking around. It wasn't often that anyone deferred a choice to her, so she was a bit uncomfortable that Oliver was giving her the choice. She tried not to let it show.

"Do you have much cooking experience, Oliver?" she asked, hoping to deflect a bit away from herself.

"I had to learn to cook when I was shipwrecked for five years," he said. "and after I came home, I started cooking more. I didn't sleep much for a while so it was a good way to occupy myself. I can make pretty much anything." Oliver had taught himself a great many things and he was happy to have the chance to cook whenever he could.

"I like the idea of a cobbler. That's always popular and fairly easy. The gods kind of outdid themselves with supplies." There was everything they could possibly need here and Oliver was sure that he and Ella could come up with something special.

"You were shipwrecked?" Ella understood what he meant, since travel by ship was often the only way for trade to happen with some countries. Her father never took ships, only horse and carriage, but she only knew what she'd read about in her books. "It is a lovely hobby, though. I agree." That he didn't sleep much didn't register to her because she often didn't sleep much either. There was far too much to be done on the island, after all.

"A cobbler it is. If you are handy with a knife, I could use your help in peeling the apples. We can collect them all here," she said, pulling a bowl from one of the cabinets. "They can be used, so that none of our gifts go to waste." Ella never threw anything out if she could help it. Everything served a purpose.
