What do you want?

Yes, but not even I could mess up salad. How have you been? Saved anyone else?

[protective_logic]

Yes.

Are you doing more food experiments?

[shipitsupersonic]

I haven't given up, if that's what you mean. Who'd you save? Some poor guy who didn't know what a spaghetti squash is?

[protective_logic]

If you haven't given up, what else have you done? I could suggest other things.

[shipitsupersonic]

I have done stir-fry and chili. Chili was easy, just open a bunch of cans and mix them together.

You can't just say yes and not give me the details!

[protective_logic]

Chili is good. I'd offer you my brother's recipe, but he keeps it secret.

I can.

[shipitsupersonic]

I could make my chili for you. If you tell me what happened. Who am I going to tell?

[protective_logic]

That is the question, isn't it?

I'm not the biggest fan of chili. I grew up having to eat it rather bland because of stomach problems. Had to have a small amount set aside before the brother seasoned it for everyone else.

[shipitsupersonic]

I don't have anyone to tell. And I'm great at keeping secrets.

Well, that was considerate of him. What do you like then?

[protective_logic]

I grew up with a large family. Liking food is less important than being willing to eat what picky eaters will take.

But I've found fish is nice.

[shipitsupersonic]

I like fish. We ate a lot of it on Torkulon. Never cooked it before. You don't have much here.

You were saying. Aren't there a dozen or so of you?

[protective_logic]

There are enough of us. And no, the planet is not flush with fish, but we do get plenty from off world. I enjoy it well enough.

[shipitsupersonic]

And you're the hero of the family. Did you teach one of them the difference between dish soap and dishwasher soap? Is that who you saved?

[protective_logic]

I am no such thing and the dish soap mistake has been made before. Multiple times.

[shipitsupersonic]

Well, you'll always be my hero. 💛

Who did you save then? Now I'm curious.

Super Flustered

[protective_logic]

I... I'm not. I just gave you a recipe and helped you shop.

Stop asking.

Re: Super Flustered

[shipitsupersonic]

I'll stop if you concede that you saved me and thus are my hero.

[protective_logic]

That isn't true. I didn't save you. Cooking isn't heroism.

[shipitsupersonic]

I guess you'll just have to tell me about your thrilling adventure then.

[protective_logic]

[Deep sigh.]

Fine, I'm your hero.

[shipitsupersonic]

Why do you say it like it's some huge insult? I wasn't being sincere. Do you do this to everyone who tries to complement you?

[protective_logic]

This is just... complicated and I called to ask about your cooking adventures.

[shipitsupersonic]

My cooking adventures are rather simple. I'm thinking of buying a blender. Do you use yours a lot?

[protective_logic]

We don't have one actually. There isn't too much of a point to it in my idea.

[shipitsupersonic]

Then how do you make mojitos and margaritas?
