[You may notice that Eddie looks kind of like a secret service agent right now, what with his nice black suit it's totally the symbiote; he can't afford a real suit. WHY IS THAT? Because he's pretending to be a government agent/pancake chef... in charge of space camp. His lies are going to fall all over his head.]

Hey, guys: [JAZZ HANDS!] pop quiz!

[Holding that grin for a few moments, before his face drops. You get some BIG DOE EYES OF DESPERATION.]

How do you make pancakes?

[OOC: Eddie is terrible with children :c BUT HE'S TRYING, DAMN IT. Venom's got a soft spot for bebes.]

[INSERT RECIPE HERE because I am too lazy :c]

Make sure you cook 'em long enough, or the innermost part will be raw and gooey.

I thought they were supposed to be gooey. For moisture.

Re: same filter

[takingacut.livejournal.com]

Moist, yeah. Runny and uncooked, no.

But kids love batter, right? I could just give him the mixing bowl, let him have a freaking field day! I mean, sure, he could get, heh, salmonella or whatever, but I'm sure the flood'll end before he has to go to the infirmary.

Give any of 'em food poisoning and Paddy will smash your face in, guaranteed.

I wasn't planning on it!

[cauchemal]

I work on the breakfast shift and I can help, if you need it.

[Although Mal looks kind of tired by now. Running damage control on as many kids as she has been has taken its toll.]

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

Just... pancake and/or child-related advice would be good. He's expecting me to make it because I-- might have?-- told him I was really, really good at it.

[cauchemal]

I think the recipe you have there is good. Oh—be sure the griddle is properly hot. Flick a bead of water on it and if it dances, it is hot enough. And the first pancake will probably not be right, but that happens to everyone. We used to give it to the dog.

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

Okay.

So.

Just brainstorming here: if I were to get ambitious and throw blueberries into the mix-- I just love blueberry pancakes-- when... would the whole "blueberry" part enter the picture?

[cauchemal]

Some add them to the batter just before pouring it on the griddle. I prefer to sprinkle the berries onto the pancake just after I've poured it, while it's still wet. That way you can be sure the berries are evenly distributed.

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

So they won't... fly off the pancake when you flip it? Good to know...

[cauchemal]

That's right. Pour the batter, add the blueberries immediately, and then when the bottom is golden brown, you turn it. Trust me, it will work.

If the gentlewomen are otherwise occupied [read: exhausted by children] and you need assistance, I am competent and my ward has an unexpected willingness to cook. I could ask him to come with me to aid you.

Hey, I'd appreciate it. I--

[Wait.]

I just got a great idea.

Okay. Picture this. Your kid distracts Eddie-- the pint sized model-- takes him away from the kitchen to, I don't know, play tag or doctor or whatever it is kids do, and you can make the pancakes, and I can [TAKE ALL THE CREDIT] help. Where I can. Within reason.

[Braxiatel contrives to look amused at Eddie's gambit.] I would prefer not to leave Peylix unmonitored. If you are remotely capable of discretion, you can keep an eye on them without being noticed and I can make the pancakes. [Without Eddie getting in his way. He doesn't precisely trust Eddie with the kids, but he trusts Peylix to a degree.]

Then I'll have a word with him and be by. [Indeed he will. Like the superior douche Time Lord he is.]

Hey, great, you're a real lifesaver. [WHY SO MEAN TO EDDIE.]

[Why not mean to Eddie? Braxiatel responds after Omega's confirmation.] We'll be at the kitchen shortly.

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

You can't be serious. How do you not know how to make pancakes?

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

Hey! I'm serious, I'm 100% serious here! I never had to make pancakes before-- that's what diners are for.

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

[face. palm]

Fuck. I don't know off the top of my head. Just that they're supposed to have chocolate chips.




[Don't try convincing Hoffman otherwise.]

GDIT I want pancakes now

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, like at IHOP! With the whipped cream and-- oh, man, when they make the happy face for you...

AMANDA AND I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT IHOP.

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

right. With cherries occasionally. Except it was always the chicks who got the cherries and-

[he stops short] I liked the waffles.

[symbiotastic.livejournal.com]

I always got cherries.

[Pause.]

That doesn't say anything about me, right?
