Amber's day with Frypan
Amber's POV
~The next day~
I felt the sunshine on my face, and I heard the boys working. I woke up, and sprung into action. I got dressed, put my hair up into a ponytail, and opened my door...just to see Newt about to knock.
"Good morning, Newt," I said happily.
"Good morning. Someone seems happy today...a little too happy," the British bloke notes.
"Yeah, well, let's just say I'm excited for later," I tell him.
"Excited for what?"
"None of your shucking business."
He looks at me suspiciously,"Alright then... Well, today, you're gonna work with Frypan, our cook."
"Alright," I got up,"I'll see you during lunch. See ya!"
I started making my way to the kitchen. I wonder what we'll be cooking for lunch....
~Time skip~
Frypan greeted me the minute I walked through the door. Turns out we won't be able to make much because of the lack of ingredients. The only ingredients we have are thick-sliced bacon, potatoes, Eringi mushrooms, rosemary, red wine, sweet sake, soy sauce, butter, an onion, and watercress. (A/n: Comment if you know where I'm heading with this. My fellow otakus would know.) Looking at all the ingredients, I figured out what to make for lunch and dinner.
"That's it," I exclaimed.
"What's it," Frypan asked, a little startled by my sudden outburst.
"I know what we're gonna make," I smirked.
I told him what we were gonna do, then we both started to cook. Frypan cut the potatoes we have in half and started steaming them while I started mincing the onions and the mushrooms. Once the potatoes were cooked, I skinned them and started kneading and combining the mushrooms, potatoes, and onions. (The potatoes are mashed btw). Frypan then formed the mixture into a medium-sized log. We wrapped thick slices of bacon around the potato log, and use cooking twine to fasten rosemary sprigs and hold together the "roast pork". I then put it into the oven to roast until the bacon gets crispy. After that, I got started on the sauce.
For the sauce, I combined, the red wine, sweet sake, and soy sauce in a pan. (I put just enough to cover the saucepan). Once it started to bubble, I added the butter.
The "pork roast" finished baking, and just in time too...it was already lunch. So, right before Frypan served it, I poured the sauce over the roast and garnished it with the watercress.
"Andd, done! Alright, it's ready to serve," I said.
"Nice job. Think you can make this for dinner too," he asked.
"Sure, I can even make dessert," I stated happily.
"Alright!"
While Frypan was serving, I got started with the recipe again. It took a while, so I think it'll be ready in time for dinner...
~Time skip to dinner~
Frypan came in just as I was pouring the sauce on the "pork roast". I, once again, garnished the roast with watercress, and let Frypan serve it. The minute he was out the door, I started making a cake for all our hard working gladers.
The cake:
I laid out the cake and told Frypan to serve a slice to everyone once they finished their dinner. Then, I went out, got some dinner, and sat with Minho. Newt and Abby were there too.
"Hey guys," I exclaimed.
"Hey Amber/greenie," they said. Can ya guess who called me greenie.
"So, is the meal good?"
"Good?! More like delicious. Whoever cooked this is getting a kiss on the damn cheek. That's how good this is," Minho exclaimed dramatically.
Frypan walked up to us,"Well then Minho, you're gonna have to kiss Amber on the cheek cuz she's the one who came up with the idea and cooked it."
Minho, Alby, and Newt looked at me awestruck. I laughed sheepishly and looked down. Next thing I knew, I felt something warm on my cheek. Minho was kissing my cheek. I stood there frozen while Minho pulled away with a smile. Not a smirk, but a smile.
"So, ready to see the wall, greenie," Minho asked me.
"Is Newt British," I shot back.
He laughed at my statement while Newt rolled his eyes. Once we all finished our dinner (and dessert), Minho and I walked to that wall. Minho handed me a small knife...a dagger (A/n: Tbh, I nearly put fagger...). He told me to carve my name on the wall...which is easier said than done, but once I carved my name. He officially welcomed me to the Glade.
And that everyone is the end of this chapter. Gomen nasai for not updating as much. Please don't kill me. See you in the next chapter. PEACE OUT!
