[ The feed starts with an unoccupied frame; the image of a small but well-organized kitchen. The doors to the pantry and the cabinets above and below the counter top are all open revealing a well-stocked reserve of food. Plentiful as the stores may be, it seems as though something is missing.

Al steps into the frame to close the cabinets before he addresses the screen.

Around here they take people, maybe some dignity here and there if you let 'em...but petty theft? Nobody likes a thief whether it's a curse or just some chump acting alone. Who makes off with pots and pans without making a sound?

[ This is problematic, not just for a hungry man, but for one that finds relaxation in the act. It's a reprieve from work, which has been profitable as of late. ]

These past few weeks haven't been easy on anyone, so in exchange for borrowing some cookware I'm more than happy to pay the generosity forward. I can cook any kind of real food, whatever you're craving or you miss from home.

[ He contemplates this offer for a moment. Home has a different spectrum here, he has come to find. ]

If it can't be done, well, there's always spaghetti.

You can borrow some of mine, if you want.

Not that I've noticed.

[A slight frown.]

Who'd steal pots and pans?

It was mostly rhetorical.

You can come by and get some. You know where I live.

I don't think we exactly have a problem with cookware thieves plaguing the City, but I'll come over there, instead. What do you need?

Give me a half an hour.

[In exactly twenty nine minutes, he'll arrive at Al's apartment, arms laden with pots and pans. He doesn't knock so much as bump the door with his elbow -- his hands are too full.]
recognize_an_opportunity: (yeah tell me another one)

[He raises an eyebrow at the gun a little, even as he heads into Al's kitchen to set the cookware down on the counter so Al can go through it.]

Yeah, I said I would. Figure you have more use for it than I do.

Fairies. I've heard some of the minor ones, when they feel wronged, will retaliate by hiding things.

Some of Eden's regulars are, and so you have, albeit unknowingly.

If I actually had any worthwhile pots I would take you up on that.

I've learned that one a long time ago. I'm just happy when I can make stuff from a box.
deadmanbusiness: (I'm Listening)

[personal profile] deadmanbusiness 2013-08-08 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. Like mac and cheese. Dump the noodles in boiling water and then add powdered cheese stuff, a little bit of milk and butter.

[This was probably horribly offensive to Al's ears.]

[personal profile] deadmanbusiness 2013-08-08 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. It would utterly offend your really able to cook sensibilities. I know it does my fiancee's sister and she's a fantastic cook. You'd like her for that.

If you'd like I could make you a box and you could see how bad it is.
deadmanbusiness: (Sunglasses)

[personal profile] deadmanbusiness 2013-08-21 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the poor man's pasta. Or I should say the poor cook's pasta.
