Who: Mark and Dan
Where: The kitchen
What: Dinner, chatting.
Warnings: Maybe swearing? It happens.
Dan had been fixing up dinner for a couple of hours. Maybe it was mostly because he wasn't used to cooking. He was accustomed to going out to eat, enjoying the work of others. Now, he was making an attempt. At least he'd read up on what he was doing. Fished out a few old cookbooks that had been crammed in the back of dusty bookshelves, their pages almost new. It was obvious that part of the library was rarely looked at.
So Dan was preparing a chicken casserole. Seemed simple enough. Cut up some vegetables, add salt and pepper, prepare in a dish to pop in the oven, add stock, let it cook... easy. Only, there weren't as many vegetables in the fridge this time... and they were almost out of stock. So Dan improvised with what he could find. Some gravy, a few odder vegetables, and soon it was cooking away in the oven, potatoes boiling on the hob.
Dan set the table and sat down, lighting a cigarette while he waited. Checking his comm pad, he sent Mark a quick message. It simply read, 'Dinner will be ready soon. Head over to the kitchen when you're ready ;)'
