Fifth floor common room, Thursday afternoon

[nadiathesaint]

Every now and then, Nadia decides she wants to cook. This was one of those times, so instead of heading to the cafeteria for lunch, she handwavily headed to town for groceries and is now setting about making a stirfry.

For once, almost all the ingredients seem to make sense and go together.

There is rather a lot of hot sauce and peppers involved, though.

She bopped about the kitchen to the Postal Service, spatula in hand, as she stirred and fried away.

[ooc: come hang out, and if you're brave, try some of the stir fry. It's very tasty and might give you the temporary ability to breathe fire. . . .]

Walter came up after lunch and tried not to blanch at the array of hot peppery things.

"Hey."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia smiled back at him as she taste-tested a bit of her hot mandarin orange based sauce. "Hey."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Did you get bored?" he asked, surveying the ingredients and picking up one of the sauce bottles to read the ingredients.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "I don't have any workshops today, and I felt like cooking."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"That was nice of you." Walter leaned against the counter out of her way. "Is this something from home?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Nah, we could never afford most of this stuff. I'm experimenting."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Do you always use so many peppers?"

[nadiathesaint]

"That's what gives it flavor!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Alright." He looked at the peppers again. "Do you prefer your food to be combustible? Because I can remember that the next time at the restaurant."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia rolled her eyes. "Combustible? It's just a little spicy."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"To you. Did you grow up nibbling peppers like fruit?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Wimp. I know it isn't a British thing, since Seras likes spicy food, too,"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"She and I are from different Englands." Or at least Walter rather hoped so. "Sixty years changes a lot of things, I noticed."

[nadiathesaint]

"Get with the times, then!" Nadia held out a spoon. "Here, try some of this sauce. It's mostly citrus and not too spicy."

Pippi also flounces past after lunch, on her way to her room to get ready for Sex Ed class.

"Hi Nad- WHOA! Somebody likes things spicy!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter leaned forward and had a taste. The orange flavor was the first impression, then his nose broke out in a sweat.

"Good," he said and turned around to get a glass of milk.

[nadiathesaint]

"Mmhm!" Nadia smiled as she taste tested her sauce again. "Would you like to try some?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia grinned. "See?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Okay!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Mmhm..." Milk. Now. Taste buds melting.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia served up a small bowl of stir fry with the mandarin orange spicy sauce. "Here. Let me know if it's too little or too much."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia raised an eyebrow. "Are you okay?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi takes a bite and chews.

"Hmmmmm!"

Her eyes may be starting to dilate just a bit.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Mmhm." Walter guzzled his milk and refilled the glass. "But it may take some practice to properly taste anything ever again appreciate the spiciness."

[nadiathesaint]

"I suppose. You want another bite?"
