Re: Another Kitchen

[DAT'S FINE I JUST DON'T WANT AN ABANDONED SCENE]

Ted grinned as she complimented him and put the last of the apple cubes on a paper towel. He was about to suggest putting lemon on them to stop them browning but then he remembered that a) they were getting baked so there was no point and b) Molly might end his life if he offered helpful hints. "Well thank you General. My Grandma was a dictator in the kitchen too, she threatened to beat us all with a meat mallet if we messed up. So what next?" And Ted will never be as good as Molly but he's a very handy assistant.

**Molly Prewett** November 3rd 2010, 11:57 pm

[*hugs*]

Molly stops and stares. "Your Grandma and I must be, like, kindred spirits or votever. Here, sprinkle some sugar and some cinnamon on those while I finish rolling this out," she suggests, nodding at the items in question as she works on rolling out pastry for two pies. "My Grandma taught me how to bake, too. She died when I was, like, seven or something, but she always said I was the only one in the family that had the aptitude for all this stuff so she helped me learn the basics and I just sort of went on from there. She taught me to knit, too!" she rambles, smiling fondly at the memories.

**Ted Tonks** November 4th 2010, 12:19 am

Ted walked over and picked up the cinnamon and sugar, putting a bit of each on the apples in the bowl. When he was done he picked up the bowl and moved it over to next to Molly. There was something therapeutic about baking that had to do with a combination of the rhythmic activities and precise measurements. And the smells. Mmmm the smells of freshly baked goods. "She sounds like an amazing woman. So what can I do for you now?"

**Molly Prewett** November 4th 2010, 12:33 am

"Oh cool," Molly says, noting that the spicing part of the operation is done. "Ok, you can take, like, maybe a little less than a third of all those apples and ground them up with the mortar and pestle - it totally makes the filling just a little creamier without making it too sloppy," she says, and Mya just makes this shit up by the way. She greams as she lines the bases of two pie dishes with pastry. "She was, like, totally awesome. I miss her heaps of course, but I guess that's life, you know?" she says as lightly as she can. "Ok when you're done with that, mix it all back together," she says, and preheats the oven because sometimes Gid and Mol forget that part and it's all very amusing.

**Ted Tonks** November 4th 2010, 12:42 am

Ted nodded and got to work mushing apples, at her next instructions he carefully mixed them all together then offered her the bowl. "Here you go, all done!" He leaned against the counter and watched her finishing up making the pies. "You really are a natural at this, it's very impressive. My grandma is still alive but she's so old now that she can't really properly bake anymore and there is no way she would be able to lift up that meat mallet so generally I'm booted into the kitchen to follow her orders and make all the family meals."

[off to shower now! back in a bit!]

**Molly Prewett** November 4th 2010, 12:53 am

[ok love]

"Baking just, like, makes sense to me. You know it's a little bit like Potions, only tastier," Molly shrugs, taking the bowl with a smile to show her thanks. "So you can, like, totally put 'kitchen hand' on your resume already?" she jokes, beginning to spoon the apple mixture evenly into the pastry-clad pie dishes. When that's done, she rolls the tops over each of the pies, sliding one along the bench for Ted to close and sprinkle with sugar while she takes care of the other. "So you still get to see her a whole bunch? When you're not here, I mean? That's nice..." Molly says, because family is a pretty big theme with her and she likes hearing about families that are all close, like hers is.

**Ted Tonks** November 4th 2010, 6:48 am

[I wasn't showering that whole time........ I promise]

Ted sprinkled the sugar over it and then after receiving an approving nod used his fork to press the edges of the pie. As he wiped up the area where some of the sugar had split he answered her question, "Yes, I think I started helping in the kitchen when i was about four or five. I'm lucky, I see her every time I go home because she has moved back in with my parents. I don't think mum is dealing so well having her mother-in-law around all the time but it's successful so far."

**Molly Prewett** November 4th 2010, 8:21 am

[I am disappointed....]

Molly quickly presses and sprinkles her own pie and greams up at Ted. Because she's short, so she's always greaming up at people. Or glowering. But today she is greaming. "That would be, like, interesting and kinda awkward," Molly acknowledges, and hopes she marries a man who agrees never ever to allow his mother to live with them. Family is one thing, but mothers-in-law are an entirely different kettle of fish. "Probably a good thing none of our grandparents ever needed to move in with us - one, there's no room, and two, living with us is totally not safe for people with infirmities or whatever," she shrugs. "Ooh, looks good," she greams, admiring Ted's pie before opening the oven door and gesturing him to slide it in next to where she's settling hers.

**Draco Malfoy** November 4th 2010, 8:43 am

I WILL REPLY WHEN I HAVE COHERENT THOUGHTS AGAIN
XOXOXOOXXO

Ted laughed and put his pie in the oven next to hers, "Well my grandma is crazy enough to stand up to my mother. The crazy old lady still runs the house with an iron fist." He turned around and piled up all the dishes, transferring them to the sink. When he was done he walked back over to the counter and hopped onto it, sitting down next to the bag of apples. He pulled one out and held it up, "Can I eat this one?"

**Molly Prewett** November 4th 2010, 10:44 pm

Molly giggles. "She sounds, like, totally awesome. I'm almost tempted to see how she'd go up against the four Prewetts hopped up on various substances such as lots and lots of sugar ~~and gillyweed~~." Yeah, you can just tell that the Prewetts were the type of kids who'd have babysitters run screaming from the house. "Oh yeah, sure," Molly says when he takes an apple, and takes one for herself as well. Not like they don't have enough. Usually Molly prefers to wash the dishes the muggle way, but sometimes she just couldn't be bothered, so she flicks her wand and the dishes set to washing themselves. Good dishes. Mya's itunes just went from NIN to ABBA and her level of rocking out did not change... "So you said you're an only child but do you have, like, a big extended family or anything?"

**Ted Tonks** November 5th 2010, 12:29 am

Ted laughed at the thought of the Prewett kids trying to get something past his grandma. That wouldn't happen. "Yeah my mom had four brothers and my dad had two kid sisters so I have plenty of cousins. It makes family holidays pretty hysterical. My oldest cousin is only three years older than me so that makes it much easier for us all. There are five of us now between sixteen and twenty, all boys and then we have four little kids and five pre-teens." He smiled and thought back to the summer before when his youngest cousin, all of three years old, had managed to get herself stuck in the top of a tree and it had taken four different people trying to climb up there to get her down. It was a pity they didn't know about the magic as he had been seventeen by that point so he could have gotten her down if they had given him the chance.

**Molly Prewett** November 5th 2010, 12:43 am

Inner!Molly kinda wants to see a celebrity death match between Grandma Tonks and Ali... Molly noms on her apple, listening to Ted talk about his extended family and greaming as she swallows. "Whoa, that's, like, heaps. That's awesome. We have a pretty big extended family too, because you know how purebloods are totally all freaking related somehow, but we don't see all that many. We still talk to, like, maybe a quarter?" she guesses, shrugging. "That's still a lot, but most of them totally disowned us all because of all the pureblood mania junk. We're kinda blood-traitors according to them, but votever. We'd rather not be related to them and you're totally not going to catch me marrying a cousin or something gross the way they all do!"
The timer goes off, because time goes differently here and Mya should wrap at least a couple of scenes up before she goes away for the day... Molly beams and grabs the oven mitts, easing the oven door open and letting the smell of freshly baked apple pie wash over them.

**Ted Tonks** November 5th 2010, 1:20 am

Tam would love to see that too because if Grandma Tonks is anything like my Grandma and Ali is Dee then there wouldn't be a death match... they would be BFFs and crack the dirtiest jokes ever. It would be awesomely awful. "I think that the prejudice in the wizarding world is disgusting, often I think it's worse than the muggle world." He sniffed in deeply as the pies came out of the oven, "Wow those look amazing."

**Molly Prewett** November 5th 2010, 2:01 am

I don't even know... My brain shut down trying to think of that.
"It's disgusting," Molly says heatedly, transferring the pies to the bench to cool. "Like, I can't believe how stupid people are about blood and stuff - and all the junk about half-breeds and all. I mean, even the word half-breed is totally gross! Like, what even makes people think that it's ok to control people's lives without giving them a say or anything!?" she rages, before the scent of the pies works its way into her awareness and she pauses to consider them. "They're, like, perfect! We do good work," she says, grinning over at Ted.

**Ted Tonks** November 6th 2010, 4:02 am

Ted grinned at her, "We do, shall we see how they taste?" He walked over to a fridge and pulled out some vanilla ice cream. "I don't know how you like your pie but mine isnt' complete without some of the cold stuff." He reached up into a cupboard above her head and grabbed plowls (plate-bowls... we have them at my house.. don't question) while she got cutlery.

**Molly Prewett** November 6th 2010, 4:07 am

I LOVE PLOWLS! *wants some for her own collection* Erm... right... *spazzes out over homewares* shutup.
Molly greams. "Well they smell so good it would be, like, crazy not to try," Molly says and grabs the utensils. She quickly serves up two expertly sliced pieces of pie into the plowls and waits for Ted to add the ice cream before taking a seat at the table with her own serving. She blows on a small portion to cool it down and makes sure to get a liberal dose of the ice cream on top, and takes the first bite. "OhmyGod we could, like, make a fortune selling this," she announces. "But, like, you'd totally have to convince me to share!"

**Ted Tonks** November 6th 2010, 4:18 am

OMFG YOU AND I SHOULD TALK HOMEWEARS SOME TIME!!! *totally hasn't faked wedding registries to look at stuff*
Ted takes a bite of his own and has a foodgasm all over the table. Whoops. "Holyfucknuggets... we totally could. And you would have to share because I'm your apple picker" He grinned at her and took another bite. Holy shit. The only thing better than this is the pumpkin pie that Tam will be making from scratch for Thanksgiving. Fucks yes.

**Molly Prewett** November 6th 2010, 4:33 am

LMAO THAT IS EPIC! *got so excited when doing our wedding registry she couldn't speak English anymore*
~~Molly hands Ted a napkin to clean up after he foodgasms all over the table.~~ Molly grins and keeps eating her slice of pie. "Oh, I'd totally share with my apple picker and all, but, like, I don't know about the rest of the world. They'd have to be paying some pretty hefty prices to convince me to share with them. On the plus side, it'd kinda be like crack - one taste and they'll all be hooked. We'd totally have customers forever!" Molly chatters. Mya has never tried pumpkin pie. She has lived a deprived life, and intends to remedy this at some point.

**Ted Tonks** November 6th 2010, 4:39 am

BRAIN NOT COMPUTING. YOU MUST TRY IT. AKLGJSDIOTGJDKLSGJDLKGJL
I LOVE IT SO MUCH YOU WILL TOO. IT'S LIKE OMFG FOODGASM.
Ted grinned at her and paused with a piece of pie halfway to his mouth... "Molly... world domination by pie. We could make this happen." They totally could too. Imagine a world full of pie... and Dean Winchesters...

**Molly Prewett** November 6th 2010, 4:57 am

And now my brain is not computing..... *dies of happy thoughts*

Molly laughs. "It could totally happen!" she enthuses as she finishes up her pie. While Ted finishes his piece, she busies herself with wrapping up the pies, making sure that the full one goes to Ted because she is just nice and friendly and awesome like that. She sets Ted's pie next to him and slides her own into her bag. The leftover apples she piles into a fruit bowl on the bench so she can return to them later. The house elves always know to leave her ingredients be, anyway. She glances at her watch and grins at Ted, vaguely surprised the smell of Molly baking hasn't had her brothers tumbling in from Merlin-knows-where to partake, yet. "Well I think I'm gonna have to, like, leave you to it. I've got to get back to Gryffindor. This was, like, so much fun! See you around?"

**Ted Tonks** November 6th 2010, 5:06 am

Ted smiled as she put the full pie next to him, "Definately, and we'll have to do this again some time. Thanks Molly." He waved as she walked out then finished up his slice of pie before grabbing some never melt ice cream and his pie and walking out back down to wherever he goes... Pie-land? Meh.

**Remus Lupin** November 6th 2010, 4:59 pm

Remus is tired because he hasn't been sleeping well, constantly worrying over what would happen the next time he properly spoke with Sirius. He figured maybe baking would be a good distraction so he had come down to the kitchens. Unsure of what to make, he'd decided to try something new today and was making a cherry pie. It was just finishing up too. *cue Al*
