The day had been long, and the training truly intense. Malt had woke up quite early, began in the mountains, and now she was ready to settle down. Today, she wanted to camp out. She had been quite acquainted with the cities and towns of Earth. It's nature, however, was unknown to her. Cereal forbid most of its inhabitants from leaving the cities at night, so Malt found it strange that camping was such a popular pass-time on this planet. Regardless, it was incredibly interesting.
After finding a small, flat patch of land, Malt removed a capsule from her pocket. She'd picked it up that morning in the city, and it contained everything she'd need for the night. She threw the capsule to the ground, and it opened in a puff of smoke. As it cleared, a tent, fire pit with stockpot, and stack of ingredients sat where it had previously not been. Now it was time to make a dish.
Most of the ingredients for it had been bought early, specifically the meat, dairy, and some of the more rare and foreign produce that she couldn't obtain. She decided that she would get some of the more common stuff herself, however. With a quick look around, she managed to find a bay leaf, a patch of wild green onions, and some other spices she wanted to throw in to the stock pot.
As she prepared the first part of the dish, she took a deep breath. Cooking was something that put Malt into a really calm state. The smells, the tastes, the satisfaction of completing something so handmade; it was all quite pleasant. She sadly wasn't able to do it often; back home, her family and people were insistent on her constant training and preparing for the threats that may come. Sun up to sun down, it was constant training and learning techniques and blah and blah. Sometimes, she wanted to do something different, you know?
Eventually, the base of the dish was ready. She quickly began adding the rest of the ingredients to the stock pot. With that, she ran over and grabbed a rock to sit on. The dish needed to simmer for a little bit, especially considering she was making a lot more than normal.
Chill thread. Time to eat and talk!
