Perfect, my Casey! [Would the Rue of a few years ago be able to call this effort perfect? Not in the slightest! But it's their son and that makes it perfect by default.] Now we just let it sit until it beeps at us to remove the waffle.
no subject
Oh, that's way easier than pancakes. [He can say it now, so he must be feeling better already, woo.] I love when stuff tells me they're done. Since we got a timer for the kitchen we hardly ever burn food anymore.
no subject
Ah, then you need to come over and see my egg cooker! It's quite the delightful little invention. I simply put an egg inside and it beeps when it's fully hard boiled! I've never seen anything so wonderful! How does it know exactly when the egg is done?! It's a mystery!
no subject
[He mostly eats them cracked and scrambled! Somehow hasn't had a boiled egg yet? Now he definitely must see it.]
no subject
You can! It's one of my favorite ways to eat them!
no subject
You don't think it's too crunchy?
[Casey,]
no subject
...You must remove the shell first, of course, my love.
no subject
[Do not ask what he was envisioning.]
no subject
Put a pot of water on the stove top to boil. I'll show you! Surely April won't mind us using a few of their eggs.
no subject
[He's eager as ever to try new foods, so quickly he stands and fetches not just the water pot but a trio of eggs from the fridge. One for each of them, should April wake up soon. She'll surely be hungry.]
I'd ask if waffles go good with eggs, but I think eggs kinda go good with everything.
[He does love eggs a lot, now that he knows they exist.]
no subject
[Rue will let Casey start the boiling water while they gather the Waffle Ingredients to set out on the table. Obviously they need butter and syrup, but also cinnamon sugar and whipped cream and chocolate chips and fruits! These waffles need to be stacked to the ceiling!]
But eggs with any breakfast are just the perfect combination.
no subject
[Just eggs over rice sounds good. Hunter'll probably like it, he enjoys eggs too. Maybe if he makes a bunch of delicious things it'll simmer some of the leftover anger over him forgetting his tracker necklace. Side perk of getting to tell Rue their recommendation was a big hit. ...He's making a lot of assumptions, here.]
no subject
[And do anything, really.]
Perhaps we should do an entire month of different egg recipes, just to try all of them.
no subject
[He says that, but should he actually be surprised? Rue's so supportive in just about anything he does. (Anything safe and not outrageously reckless.) Cooking is a pretty fun and harmless thing to encourage.]
I could do a month of eggs. I could eat them every day and not get bored. And there's gotta be at least 30 recipes with them.
[Kiddo has no idea there's hundreds, thousands of egg recipes...]
no subject
But I think it's a marvelous idea! And perhaps after that, we can pick a different ingredient and expand our mastery of it too. A month of eggs, then perhaps a week of potatoes or a fortnight of salads! [if casey will allow salads, that is]
no subject
Can they at least be like, fruit or veggie salad, or only use lettuce for the base...?
[It is the smallest of concessions, but lettuce is nice and crunchy and doesn't look like leaves. He still won't eat leaves!]
no subject
no subject
There's candy salad?
[Between this and the fruit he's being WON OVER by SALAD oh no, his hard limit, challenged.]
no subject
I've only ever heard whispers of it, but even if we can't find an official recipe, who is to say we don't make it ourselves!
no subject
We totally have to try it. If we can't find one, we can make one up...!
[The wheels are spinning in his head, now. And since the water's boiling, he'll go ahead and drop those eggs in.]
no subject
Set the timer for ten minutes! They'll be so perfectly cooked by then.
no subject
On it!
[On goes the timer! And he's checking on the waffles next, since they've been cooking for a bit now.]
Do you think they're done? They smell amazing... [All that cinnamon. It's much better in the waffles versus just his mouth.]
no subject
Simply take a fork and pierce them to pull them free. Because we greased the device, it should come off easily!
no subject
The first waffle does come loose pretty easily, though, and as Casey deposits it onto a plate, his mouth is already watering, and he takes one long, deep inhale.]
Oh man... that smell, Mom...
no subject
And you made it all yourself! Once you get a waffle iron, you'll have to make these for Hunter as well.
