Hunter GenOne  December 4, 2012   *Pushing through the doors to the kitchen, I see Savannah waiting. She smiles and I give her a nod* Thank you for helping me with this.. *I hand her the recipe that I printed from the computer* Corinne loves this, so I want to learn to prepare it for her.

Vanilla French Toast Recipe

We discovered this recipe in Mexico. We couldn't figure out what made this French toast so delicious until we learned the secret was vanilla - one of Mexico's most popular flavorings. Since then, we've added a touch of vanilla to our waffle and pancake recipes. It makes them all very tasty. -Jo...

TASTE OF HOME

Savannah Dupree *Sitting at the kitchen table making a list of what I want to cook for our Christmas dinner; and making the list of the groceries we will need. Not really paying attention to my surroundings when I looks and see Hunter standing across from me. I smile as he tells me how grateful he is for my help, taking the recipe from him to look at the ingredients * I’m glad to help you with this and it’s a very easy recipe and it won’t take long at all.

Hunter GenOne *I follow her to the counter and watch as she starts pulling ingredients out. She instructs me to get the eggs from the refrigerator. Doing as she asks, I set them on the counter. She starts cracking them into a bowl. I grimace at the slimy things in the bowl*

Savannah Dupree *Giggling as Hunter makes a face when I put the eggs in the bowl* it’s really not that bad and they taste really good when they are cooked. *Handing him the bowl I tell him to look at the recipe and do what it says. He gives me a smirk and I laugh* This is really the only way you will learn, that is if you want to tell her that you were the one that cooked it for her! *He takes the bowl and goes over the recipe as I stand next to him showing him the tools of my craft making sure he puts the right amounts in*

Hunter GenOne *Taking a deep breath as I read over the recipe and carefully measure out the ingredients and place them in the bowl with the slimy eggs. Frowning in distaste, I take the wire implement, called a whisk, and begin beating the eggs. Forgetting my strength, some of the mixture ends up on the counter* I'm assuming this concoction should remain in the bowl? *looking at Savvy as she tries unsuccessfully not to laugh. She cleans up the mess and adds in another couple of eggs and adjusts the ingredients for me*

Savannah Dupree *Trying to hold back my laughter as I add more ingredients to the bowl* Yes it should stay in the bowl, but you’re doing very well so far; Now for the hard part. *getting a frying pan and some butter I hand them to him and smile as he looks at me in confusion*

Hunter GenOne *I can do this, I can do this... a running mantra in my head as she hands me the pan. I swallow audibly as I put the pan on the stove. She turns the burner on and I add in a chunk of butter. I look over at Savvy and she nods as she pulls out slices of bread and begins dipping them in the slimy egg concoction. I wonder to myself..do Breeds puke?* What now?

Savannah Dupree Hunter your beginning to turn green, calm down, it’s ok you can do this. Just take a deep breath and remember you’re doing this for Corinne and she is going to love you even more. *Placing the two pieces of bread in the pan I get the spatula and show him how to check and see if it’s ready to be flipped*

Hunter GenOne *I nod at her and watch closely as she continues to instruct me. I watch the slices of bread in the pan very closely and maneuver the spatula under one slice and flip it over, part of it landing on the side of the pan. I quickly move it down and flip the other one over, doing a much better job of it* I do believe hunting Rogues is easier than cooking, Savvy.

Savannah Dupree *Watching as he flips the bread on the side of the pan and then moves it back again* I think you’re doing a fantastic job; and I think hunting is very hard *Getting a plate and placing it next to the stove I watch as he checks to make sure the French Toast is ready to come out of the pan* Ok now you can do two more and you will be done.

Hunter GenOne *Places the two cooked slices on the plate, I take a deep breath, grimacing as I soak the last two slices in the slimy mixture and place them into the pan, dripping egg mixture onto the counter and stove. I scowl at that as Savvy takes a towel and wipes it up* Hunting is easy, but I do believe that I could make this on my own next time. *I watch the two slices in the pan, flipping them over as they get done on one side*

Savannah Dupree If you tell me hunting is easy I believe you and when I tell you cooking is easy I hope you believe me. And you didn’t even burn anything so I think you will be able to cook this by yourself. * Getting a serving tray and a vase for a rose that I got for him, I grab a cup of coffee and a glass of juice and place them on the tray* Ok, now all you need is a napkin, a knife and fork.

Hunter GenOne *I smile at her, leaning over and giving her a chaste kiss* Thank you, Savvy. I will come back and clean all of this up after I deliver the tray to Corinne *I finish placing the last two cooked slices on the plate as she takes it and sets it on the tray. I take the tray and make my way to mine and Cory's living quarters*
