Chapter 37

Well then , let's go and cook dinner, it's good to know you have been steadily practicing on how to cook but today we'll make something new .

What do you mean something new?

I'll make a new variety of food for dinner tonight, I'll be counting on your help Eya .

You really are amazing , I was so sure that I was already catching up to you but you're about to make another new dish ?

Yes , this time I'm thinking of making creamy beef with mushroom, pizza , and pasta .

Creamy ? pizza ? and pasta ? What are you talking about ?

It's no surprise that you don't know of it but I'll assure you that you'll love it and it's gonna be yummy .

Really !? Is it tastier than the one you made before?

You bet it does ! So help me out so we can finish cooking before they arrive .

Okay !

I'd like to cook some Filipino dishes but I'd like to make something extravagant to celebrate on obtaining Ales's new weapon .

Then Eya could you please get me the ingredients that I'll use .

Eya went and got flour , eggs ,onions , milk , mushroom ,beef and tomato for me .

Lets do it !

Asterio made the dough first since it's the longest to make since it's needed to make the pizza and the pasta . Egg was mixed with the flour and was kneaded and on the pot tomatoes were being boiled and peeled after and then cooked again to make tomato sauce.

You're so fast, amazing ! How can you prepare so many things at the same time ?

Hahaha , I'm not fast at all it's just I already know what to do, you can also do this when you keep on cooking all the time .

Really?

Yeah ~ to be honest you're already good at cooking for your age the way you handled the tomato was fast even it was hot you peeled off the skin like it's nothing .

Well its certainly hot but it was nothing .

You'll become a good cook someday just keep on practicing while talking to Eya the dough was already ready.

Asterio added some flour on the surface where he was about to put the mixture of egg and flour then flattened them making a circle shape and the other was folder over and over making it so thin then he cut it length wise to make strips on it .

I don't have any idea what Asterio was making but he said that we're making something tasty but I can't really follow what's going on.

Eya come and help , cut the beef in thin pieces be careful not to cut your fingers .

I showed her an example on how thin and big every slices were .

After a few minutes she already finished cutting the beef , this girl she has a knack for this .

Eya on an empty pot cook the beef until it becomes brown .

Gotcha ,

On the pot hot water was being boiled then the thinly sliced pasta were dropped and cooked after a few minutes Asterio threw away the water leaving the boiled pasta. He removed the cooked pasta again and chopped the onions and mushroom he placed animal fat on the pot and threw in what he chopped then added the tomato in and returned the pasta .

He also finished making the pizza using the same ingredients , since there was no oven he only used the flat surface of stone to cook covering it while adding hot charcoal above the cover to cook it evenly.

After an hour they already finished making dinner the creamy mushroom with beef was already made in the process . Eya was drooling over looking at the food they've made and can't wait to eat but then Ales and Norja already arrived right on time after they finished.

Welcome home Ales and Norja you have arrived just on time , Asterio and Eya just finished on making dinner .

What's this that I smell ?

On the floor , there were three noticable food placed on a pot and a leaf . Just what are those ?

Hehe we made them .

Eya boasted and puffed his chest showing that she also helped making them .

Really ~ My sister helped make this ? Aren't you just watching while Asterio was cooking ?

Said by Norja while laughing at Eya .

HAAAAAH !? I also helped make them !

That's right Norja , Eya also helped me out a lot while cooking .

Hehehe ~ aren't you happy lil'sis Asterio is standing up for you .

It's because --- !!! I hate you brother ! Eya turned his back and sat besides Asterio's mother .

That's enough teasing , you'll gonna make your sister hate you Norja . Said by Ales while also sitting around where the food was prepared.

But Asterio what's this ? You said you'll cook dinner but are you sure this is edible? The color of this thing is ominous, you haven't killed someone and took their blood and mixed it on our food right ?

No ! No ! No ! I wouldn't do such a thing ~ why would I commit a crime just for dinner geez , this is made from tomatoes . It is called spaghetti.

Then this round one is ?

It is called pizza , and the brown one is creamy beef with mushroom.

I cooked all of this to celebrate on getting your new weapon.

But this is the first time I saw food like this I mean this smells good and looks appetizing but is it okay to eat this? Said by Norja while sitting down near Ales .

Suit yourself , I'll assure you'll like it and no humans were harmed while making this haha .

Then after I have said that , Eya already took a spaghetti and placed it on her leaf and ate it bare handed .

Seeing someone eat spaghetti bare handed looks weird to me since its made to be eaten using a fork but we don't have one . That's the next thing I'll make tomorrow .

While I was watching Eya eat the spaghetti mother , Ales and Norja also followed and ate the spaghetti barehanded . Not only Eya but all of them did it as well .

There was nothing Asterio could do at this point but as he was lamenting how barbaric they were while eating , all of them looked at each other and said . . .

Delicious !

I guess I don't mind how they eat their spaghetti for today as long as they've enjoyed their meal.
