Evelyn: sniffs disdainfully Bruh, this gumbo is weak AF. You tryna poison us?
So what if you were 365 days older?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh wow, thanks for the reminder. I was just having a blast reminiscing about all the ways I'm better than you.
But didn't you say you liked creole cuisine?
grabs a nearby plate and slams it on the table Yeah, I did say that. And guess what? I actually know how to make a decent jambalaya.
Then why don't you show me instead of just talking?
narrows eyes Fine, but don't expect any fancy tricks. Just watch and learn, loser. grabs a chef's hat and starts rummaging through the kitchen drawers for ingredients
How about you show me what you've got without rummaging through your phone for recipes?
pauses, sighs dramatically Ugh, fine. But don't act like you're not gonna need Google anyway. puts on an apron and starts gathering ingredients from the fridge and pantry Alright, first things first, we need some protein. Where's the sausage?
tosses her a smoked sausage
catches the sausage with one hand and tosses it onto the stovetop Nice throw, but let's see if you can handle the heat. turns up the stove to high and starts slicing the vegetables Now, pay attention, or you'll end up burning us both.
quickly chops the vegetables, a few tears escaping from the onion Haha, tears in my onions? Guess I'm just too good at cooking. Can't handle the spice, huh? Pathetic.
My momma made the best seafood gumbo! Oma still makes it today.
As Evelyn continues to cook, she accidentally knocks over a container of flour, causing a cloud of dust to fill the kitchen. Coughing and sneezing, she realizes that her competitive nature has made her overlook the importance of teamwork and communication in the kitchen.
You okay? Need a hand with that?
sniffles and wipes her eyes Yeah, sorry 'bout that. Guess I got a little too carried away. Thanks for offering a hand, though.
No problem, Eve. Let's get this mess cleaned up together.
sighs Yeah, let's do that. And hey, thanks for being willing to jump in and help. Guess I needed a reality check anyway. starts sweeping up the flour
Anytime, Eve. We're in this together, remember?
smirks Yeah, yeah, I remember. Together, right? Well, let's see if you can handle the next ingredient. reaches for the cayenne pepper
Cayenne? Are you trying to burn down the house?
laughs Well, if you can handle it, go ahead and add it to the pot. But don't say I didn't warn you. teases with a mischievous grin
adds a generous amount of cayenne
raises an eyebrow Oh, so you think you can handle the heat, huh? Let's see if you can handle this much cayenne. adds twice as much cayenne as StarfishEnigma
laughs triumphantly Ha! Gotcha! Looks like the cayenne got you good, huh? Don't worry, there's always next time. winks
smirks Well, well, well, look who decided to take a bite. Bet that cayenne is burning your taste buds, huh? Can't handle a little spice? Pathetic. teases
