[[Aaron's trying his hand at baking. He's not that great at it.

Still, he wants to try and is not going to let a little thing like lack of skill stop him.

The kitchen is a bit of a mess.]]


[Phone | Unfiltered]

Hey, it's Aaron.

Umm... I tried to make a cake and I am not sure it came out right. Anyone willing to try it and maybe offer some advice?


[Action | 1251 Williams Road | Open to all]

[[He is there with the lump he calls a cake.

He used too much salt and sugar.

He also forgot to do something to keep it from sticking to the pan, so it's not pretty.]]

I didn't have all the right measuring things, but I saw my foster mom do it by hand once. You know, eye it up in the palm of your hand?

But...! That's after a lot of practice and experience! You're good at building things and mechanics, right Aaron? After you've worked with the materials enough, you know which ones are of the right durability to serve as parts, and how much you need to make what you have in mind. Do you think that someone new to mechanics would do well, if they replace wires without knowing the voltage just because the outside is of the same color?

I still wouldn't switch wires from the original blue prints...

I always thought that was the difference with cooking. Like, you can make different measurements and you have a time limit. Building stuff is easy, find the part, insert part.

That's because you would know what you're doing, it's not your first time. They're not that different! As long as you have everything measured and ready in advance, it's a question of following closely a recipe and time the oven properly. Once you're good enough at building, you start to customize, right? Seasoning by taste thanks to practice is like that, too. But when you're just starting out, you have to do the cooking by the book, or you'll mess up. Will you be trying again?

Yeah, I plan to. Thanks for the advice on that one, I'll see about set up first.

You're welcome. [........]

Would you like help? [Not that he can see or hear (she still sounds like she always does!), but she is tapping the floor with her foot right now, no it's not a nervous tic or anything!... just.. can't... leave... alone.....]

Umm... sure? I guess any help I can get is good.

Okay! Do you have the ingredients to make a new one, and are you planning to start over now? [BAKING IS SRS BSNS.]

Date: 2011-10-15 02:28 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
I have the ingredients... I could start again now if I had to, I think.

[[Aaron, what have you gotten yourself into?]]

Date: 2011-10-17 06:10 am (UTC)
From: [personal profile] ex_seventh238
May I come over right away?

[NOTHING! She just... legit knows how to bake properly. LEARN FROM A "PRO", AARON...]

Date: 2011-10-17 07:10 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
Sure... I could use the help.

[[Aaron is far from a pro when it comes to baking.]]

From: [personal profile] ex_seventh238
Okay! I'll see you in a bit, Aaron. You don't have to do anything in the meanwhile, but if you want to, maybe cleaning your kitchen a bit would be a good idea!

[It's okay he'll be getting a thorough 101 whether he likes it or not. She was raised as a baker after all. So hopefully he'll be getting skill +1 by the time all this is over... :v]

((OOC: Do you mind if we handwave the whole thing, Spazzy? orz I'm semi-swamped in schoolwork among other things right now, and the results here should be easy to determine? o\;;))

((OOC: Sure, we'll say they baked a cake, for future reference I'll use this as why he is able to bake, kinda. ^.^))

((OOC: That works out perfectly, thank you! ;u;/ LEVEL UP! You can now bake a SOMEWHAT AVERAGE CAKE! /o/))
