-The vine finds our winged girl in the kitchens at her residence near the Arena. She's got with her a whole counter full of ingredients.-

You know, it's come to my attention that a lot of people here in the Gardens don't actually know how to cook. I think I'm going to do my part to help with that! Today, I want to teach everyone how to make a speciality of mine, one of the first dishes I ever learned to prepare. It's pretty easy, too! It's called potato salad!

-INSERT FAIRLY SIMPLE RECIPE HERE. She demonstrates every last step as well, happily singing to herself inbetween steps. Seriously, it's like she's out of a disney movie. If disney princesses wore sailor suits.-

There! All done! Wasn't that easy?

-Cooking is pretty much magic.-

Well, now that we've got that done, it's time to add the sauce! What sort of sauce do you like?

[almost_adopted]

It's s'posed to be tomato sauce.

[imperial_ray]

But it doesn't have to be, if you feel like trying something else.

[almost_adopted]

Anything?

[imperial_ray]

Certainly! Why not, right?

[almost_adopted]

What about chocolate?

[imperial_ray]

Oh, are you wanting to make a desert pizza, then?

[almost_adopted]

Dessert pizza?! [That's a thing?]

[imperial_ray]

Well, yes.

[almost_adopted]

[This is the most amazing thing ever]

You can really do that?!

[imperial_ray]

-She can't help giggling.- Pizza is a very diverse dish. Italians make all sorts of things into it. Salads, antipasto, entrees, and yes desserts.

[almost_adopted]

What's an antipasta?

[imperial_ray]

It's an appetizer! It's food eaten before the meal and is usually shared amongst the family.

[almost_adopted]

Why don't they just call it an appetizer, then? [GAWD, you dumb Italians!]

[imperial_ray]

Well, it's a little different, culturally...

Anyways, let's make a dessert pizza.

[almost_adopted]

It's still weird.

Yeah! [Distraction accomplished!]

[imperial_ray]

In that case, we'll need to make a glaze of sugar for the dough first before we put the chocolate on, to keep the dough from becoming too soggy as it bakes.

[almost_adopted]

How d'you do that? [This is an eager pupil]

[imperial_ray]

We melt it in a bit of butter, which when it cools will thicken and keep the chocolate from wetting down the dough.
