Battletech: Planet's Fall

It was late, Mei's favorite time of day, and she bounced around the kitchen gathering things and making preparations. Mei, while terrible at it, loved cooking and getting to do it with someone who also enjoyed it was rare. The fact that that someone had just finished fondling her helped.

(Chinese) "Thank god I didn't wear a skirt today someone might slip and fall." She murmured to herself as she set the last of the ingredients on the counter.

The doctor had changed to a loose fitting shirt and and had tied her hair back. She approached with a warm smile.

"So, what should we make together?"

Magic

Mei grinned ear to ear as she turned to face the good Doctor.

"You got here quicker than I though, umm how about we start with those peanut butter chocolate nipple cookies and see what happens from there? I think I have everything we need."

The counter was absolutely crammed with ingredients, flour, eggs, milk, butter, sprinkles, paprika, garlic, tofu; the list goes on.

"The pantry is so well stocked and HUGE, I could get lost in there."

"We'd better stick close to one another, then. It we be best to be lost together." she grinned. "I assume not all of these are for your nipples."

"Well..." She looked at the motley assortment of goods. "I kinda just grabbed stuff that looked fun. I don't really have any cookbooks so I just go by instinct and feel when I make stuff."

She beamed ignorantly.

"I'm still very much learning, I've only been cooking for a about two years now but people seem to really like what I make."

She grabbed a sack of flour and started dumping it in a bowl without thought or care.

Elle began to sort through the ingredients. "Sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, eggs, butter, peanut butter, and milk. And, chocolates, of course. I think that's everything."

"No pickle juice? I thought the sour would help balance out the sweet."

Mei began to collect the things Elle hadn't listed to take back into the pantry.

"So how long have you been into cooking?"

"Not much longer than you." she explained. "Once I finished school, cooking for myself became routine, as some of the areas where I found work had very limited dining options. Ingredients were limited at times, too, so I did have to experiment. Pickle juice is a good idea, but I've never cared for it mixed with peanut butter."

"HUH."

A novel thought came to Mei then. Maybe, just maybe, there was more to cooking than she thought.

"well let me get this stuff put away and we can start getting dirty. I mean our hands dirty."

She ducked back into the pantry and started putting things away.

'THE LIGHTING COULD BE BETTER IN HERE." She yelled.

Whew, cooking is a lot harder distracted

Elle was a bit more measured as she mixed in more ingredients, but there was still a lot of loose estimation. It made it all a bit more fun.

"Don't worry. I'll come find you in the dark if you get lost." she shouted back.

Mei tucked, pulled and adjusted herself in an attempt to make herself more "presentable" before exiting the pantry.

"Well you seem to have a better idea of what to do with this so what do you want me to do with my hands Chef?"

"Mmm... so many things." she mused. "For now, crack open those eggs, please."

"Sure"

Surprisingly Mei knew how to do that and didn't get any shells in the bowl.

"So what else do you want to make? I think it would be a fun surprise to bring some of these to the briefing in the morning and you could put some in your office."

Mei swayed a little and was humming a little as she worked.

"I like that idea. I'm sure everyone will appreciate it." She looked down at the butters and sugars combination in the mixer before her. "I think we can add those now. Along with milk and a bit of the vanilla."

"OK."

Mei dumped the eggs into the bowl then headed for the fridge.

"Do you want healthy milk, not-milk or milk milk? Wait, MILK? I though water and oil went into a cookie batter, not milk."

"I think milk would be good. Or cream." she said as she poured in some vanilla. "The butter and the peanut butter have oils in them. Milk or cream mix a bit better than water."

Mei came back with a carton of milk and a cherry in her mouth.

"There is only half a carton left is that going to be enough?

"I think so." She motioned for her to pour it in. "I almost tried to take your cherry."

"Well it's a little late for that.

But I can go get another one if you wanna try." Mei said not in not so subtle tone while pouring the milk.

"So do you like to use you hands or mix it up with some tools?"

"It depends on what I'm making" she shrugged. "With something like this, I'd use a mixer. But, getting our hands dirty could be fun."
