Author's note: You may have noticed some stuff changed. I decided I like this sciency theme so much, I'm gonna do a series of 'em, so I changed the title and description to reflect that. This particular one is inspired by an argument between two chemistry people when cooking breakfast. Please read and review!

Edward was a good cook. Edward being Edward, this was rather surprising. So, Winry was skeptical when she came downstairs one morning to have a plate of eggs and bacon thrust in front of her. She eyed it with what she felt was a perfectly justifiable suspicion.

"Alchemy? she asked.

He gave her a slightly affronted look.

"What do you take me for?"

Over breakfast, he explained the process of protein denaturation and solubility in eggs, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon chains in bacon, and popular misconceptions ("Alchemy did not start in the kitchen! It began in medicine with the first attempt to mix two elements...") and above all, how to take advantage of this knowledge when cooking.

As they washed the dishes, she began to think that there was something to alchemy behind the smoke and mirrors after all.
