The camera drone flicks on, revealing a title card. In exceedingly poor penmanship, the title "Baking Buddies!" flashes on the screen to some chilled out, friendly sounding elevator music. The title card cuts away to a smiling Makoto, dressed in a soft pink apron and silly chef hat, standing in a slightly messy kitchen. "Hello New Eden!" the young Capsuleer begins. "My name is Makoto and today I'm gonna be your Baking Buddy! I sure am excited to be your Buddy, and I hope you're just as excited to be mine!"
Makoto gestures to her counter, grinning broadly. "Today, Buddies, we're gonna be making a nice angel food cake!" Yui holds up a finished angel food cake. "Now, this is one of my personal favorite treats. It's fairly simple to make, and has a very tasty flavor profile, with a really unique consistency! Almost anyone you make this for is definitely going to appreciate it!"
The video feed changes to a shot of the ingredients. "So, for today's recipe, we're going to need two cups of sugar, a quarter teaspoon of salt, a cup of cake flour, an even dozen egg's worth of egg whites, a third of a cup of water, a teaspoon of orange extract, and a teaspoon and a half cream of tartar!" the camera shows Makoto's slender hands picking each ingredient up, to show it off.
"Now, we're going to start by sifting about half the sugar with the salt and flour in a nice spice grinder!" Makoto demonstrates, carefully mixing the ingredients. "Now, we really want this to be super fine! So by all means, take your time! It's most important that this is made with love, and patience is a great way to express your love, isn't that right, buddies?" The camera pans back up to Yui, who winks. "Now that we've got this super fine mixture, let's go ahead and set it to the side for now, along with the rest of our sugar!"
"Now the next thing we wanna do," Yui begins, poking around her kitchen. "Is to blen- er, that is to say, whip the- erm..." she falls quiet for a moment as she searches several cabinets for a suitable bowl. "Is to whisk the, ah- OH! There it is!" Makoto retrieves a large glass bowl from the top shelf of one of her cabinets, standing on her tippy toes to get to it. "Aha! We wanna whisk the egg whites, water, orange extract and cream of tartar!" Makoto triumphantly puts her bowl down on the counter, and the camera drone focuses on it as she mixes the ingredients. "Now, we're gonna get this to a really nice consistency, and it's important to-" she picks up a large whisk from a pile of utensils near the ingredients. "it's important to keep a close eye on the mixture! But that's awfully boring, so while I keep an eye on things here, why not go check in on Mr. Banana?"
As Yui whisks, the camera pans away to a separate video of her snake, Banana, coiled up in front of a pastel pink backdrop on a counter, near a hand of... bananas. Makoto's voice can be heard, saying sweet and encouraging things to the wobbly little python, who mostly just wiggles his head. Simple xylophone music plays quietly in the background. "It's important to be nice to people and things, even if they maybe aren't as competent as other people and things! Look at Banana!" Yui coos. "Banana here is a ball python, but because he's so inbred, he's got a few birth defects. He was fed live prey before I got ahold of him, so his skin is all nibbled up and scarred." The camera gives a close up of Banana, who has a kink near the end of his tail and small scars on his body. "But once I got ahold of him, I got him all healthy and well taken care of, and now just look at him!" At this, Banana attempts to coil around the hand of bananas, but quickly loses his nerve and uncoils, bopping his head left and right. The camera feed fades as Banana rolls his head around on the ground, returning to Makoto in her kitchen.
"Alright, so now that we've got the mixture all foamy," Yui shows the camera her foamy bowl of frothy mixture. "So yeah, we're gonna put it into a tube pan. If you don't have a tube pan, have your interns get one for you!" Makoto laughs, moving her mixture into the tube pan. "You're gonna wanna bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35 minutes!" Yui opens her oven, pulling another tube pan out as she replaces it in the oven. "I actually have one already ready! Now we need to make sure it cools upside down for about an hour, then it'll be ready to enjoy! I'll be sharing my angel food cake with my mom! Who will all of you Baking Buddies be sharing with? I hope it's someone special, and I hope they appreciate your cooking! Great day, and great baking!"
The video switches to a multi-angle closeup of her finished angel food cake from earlier, before flashing her outro title.
Makoto takes her chef hat off, swiping a small amount of sweat from her brow. "Heheh, that was fun, huh Banana?" she asks, retrieving her snake from his nearby tank. Banana wobbles contentedly in response. |

Reminds me of the night Kimmy and I ate fresh fruit in zero gravity. Caught my ripe tomatoes in her mouth mid-air.
Before I knew it she had grabbed my long red capsicum and washed it.
Mmm salty anchovies, and stuffed olives appeared on our palate that evening.
We ended up kneading then pounding out some pizza dough, only to cook a oozing melted cheese works on her after burner.
In the morning I could still see the cheese dribbled down her sleeping chin, as I thrust off quietly in my frigate.
Trust me Kim is a different person out of uniform and in the kitchen. She is not always fawning over Heath and full of fire n brimstone
Keen to hear other positive stories about Kim out of uniform......

I doubt you were reminded of any of that by a charming and good-hearted cooking show. Mr. Nitshexx, and wondered initially if you had chosen a thread at random. I would like to see more of Ms. Makoto's cooking. I would NOT like to see any more of your reminiscing.

Evidently there are baseliners who are just that nuts.

That makes them sound like some kind of holo-reel celebrity. Are these baseliner competitors Gallente or any of the Federation client bloodlines?

Verin and I went to the fan convention as each other. The guy with the prosthetic jaw went as me - which was surprising, since I was a rookie capsuleer that year and getting facial modification surgery is kind of a big commitment. I believe I placed second in the Verin "Stitcher" Haakatain look-alike competition. Verin revealed himself as 'the real Stitcher' at one point, but the surrounding groupies each pointed out why he COULDN'T be the real Stitcher.
It was a good time, but Verin got kind of grumpy about it. I think he was glad when we left.
For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead
in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a
hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

I spent some time training with Ishukone Watch to fill in some gaps in my education vis a vis mangling people with my bare hands. It was a good time and I came away from it with some friends that I keep in touch with, to this day.

Oh! Misremembered the story. Apologies, Tuulinen-haan. Still, it makes sense to have you swap places...
And on the Watch thing, I think a lot of the reverence is because you're one of them, and very publicly so.

"E-erm, sorry about the delayed response. No, I've never baked Banana a cake. Snakes are carnivorous, and I still haven't come up with a good way to blend mice into a sponge cake without, y'know, throwing up." Yui laughs nervously. "Er, and, thank you for all of your support! I'll try and make a new video every week or two, but it's important to have a special guest each episode, and while Mr. Banana is my mascot, I think watching him weave his silly lil' head around every week would maybe get boring to other people!" |

GrudgeMaster3000 says there is "no" animosity between you and me, the machine also says you live for my posts/attention. Also says I turned your particular tastes from dark chocolate to white.
Contrary to your version of the Gala night, Seraphim's camera says otherwise. I believe you were dripping in my white chocolate, after falling into the pondage beneath the fountain.
Was it you were drinking a little too much or were given a gentle push?

My fav baking is a moist rich chocolate cake. I am good with my big strong hands around the kitchen, and my epicure delights will have a smile on your face. I look forward to filling your oven with something special.

Yes you did offer to buy me a beer a few months ago Mengyao,
and I didn't take up your offer, nothing against Gallente types like yourself, but you were a complete stranger. How was I to know you weren't a recruiting officer for the navy with a shilling under that beer you offered. I could have woken up in a rusty battleship on the other side of the universe, riding the rim of a giant Red Dwarf.
Have to be careful you know, but seems you bear a grudge.
