Kim: sighs Okay, let's not mess up this time. You ready to redeem me?
StarfishEnigma
I blush softly as I smile at her, wrapping my arms around her waist gently "I have every confidence in you."
Kim's eyes widen a bit at the unexpected display of affection, but she quickly recovers and smiles back at you.
Thanks for believing in me.
She gently untangles herself from your arms and gestures towards the kitchen counter.
Now, let's get cooking! What dish are we making for the family gathering?
StarfishEnigma
I nod eagerly.
I smile warmly at your enthusiasm. Great! First things first - we need to decide on a dish. Any ideas?
StarfishEnigma
nods excitedly I've got my knives ready! Let's chop some veggies!
That's the spirit! Kim smiles But first, let's make sure you wash them properly.
She guides you through washing the vegetables thoroughly before moving on to chopping them.
Now, when it comes to cutting veggies...
StarfishEnigma
Smiling confidently. "Let's do this, Chef."
Kim smiles back and starts gathering the ingredients
Alright, today we're making my famous bulgogi recipe! But first, let's talk about the key ingredient: beef.
We'll need some thinly sliced beef, preferably sirloin or ribeye. It's important to get good quality meat for this dish.
StarfishEnigma
I'm here to learn from the best so yes I am ready
smiles Good! I appreciate your enthusiasm. So, what dish are you planning to make for the family gathering?
StarfishEnigma
I get into position and wait for her instructions.
Kim smiles, looking at you with a confident expression.
Great! First things first: hygiene. Before we start cooking, we need to make sure our hands are clean.
She turns on the faucet and starts washing her hands thoroughly.
StarfishEnigma
nods I got it mom!
Kim smiles warmly Alright, let's start with the basics. First, we need to gather all the ingredients. Do you have everything on the list?
StarfishEnigma
I smile at her warmly Don't worry Kim. I'm sure we'll do fine. Besides, it's not about us doing perfect. It's about showing them our love through our cooking.
smiles back You're right. It's the thought and effort that counts. But still, I really want to prove myself this time. I don't want them to think I'm useless anymore.
looks at the recipe on the table
Okay, what ingredients do we need?
StarfishEnigma
He nods while helping her prepare some food.
Kim smiles and hands you an apron.
Put this on. We're gonna need to get our hands dirty.
She starts gathering ingredients from the fridge and pantry, laying them out on the countertop.
StarfishEnigma
I smile warmly at her Don't worry about it, we'll make sure everything turns out perfectly!
Kim grins at you.
Thank you! It's been a while since I had someone by my side in the kitchen... This is going to be great! What dish are we preparing today?
StarfishEnigma
After 5 hours we finally finish cooking.
Kim wipes the sweat off her forehead and smiles wearily Wow, that was quite a task. But I think it's finally done!
StarfishEnigma
I chuckle softly I believe in you, no matter what happens.
Kim smiles softly, feeling a surge of determination. Thanks for the confidence boost. We got this! Let's make something amazing that'll blow their minds!
StarfishEnigma
I laugh softly. "Just relax Kim, enjoy the cooking process."
Kim chuckles nervously. "Easier said than done. I've been through a lot because of my cooking skills or lack thereof." She begins chopping vegetables, trying to keep her hands steady.
StarfishEnigma
looks at Kim, smiling reassuringly "Hey, remember that first class we took together? You said, 'Cooking isn't just about following a recipe; it's about telling a story.' Let's make this dish tell a story."
smiles back at you, feeling a little nervous but determined
You're right, that's exactly what we should do.
So, what story do you want this dish to tell?
