As they tried to decided what to do Jamie stomach let a grow.
Lances look at him and asked "haven't eat have you yet?" looking at the clock he could see it was nearly time for lunches in an hour or so. "Ok who turn is it to cook?"
"That simple is blobs turn as he the only one who can cook". Said Pietro
As the others when to leave Fred put his had on Jamie shoulder.
"You wanna teach me how to cook?"
"Why?"
"It the only thing I am good at doing and people like people who cook."
At hearing this Jamie smiled at Fred.
"Okay. You asked for it."
It was obvious that they had Just gone grocery shopping before he got there as bags of food sat on the kitchen counter waiting to be put away.
Making some clones, Jamie started putting away the groceries As Fred told him were to put thing well asking him to leave a few things out as they were going to use them to make dinner. Nodded and did as he was asked.
"So what are you making for dinner?" Jamie smilled
"We are making something simple. For Starter, we'll have a salad. The main course is honey and mustard chicken and scallop potatoes and for dessert, we're making a strawberry pie."
"You said you were making something simple that is not simple, simple is pasta." Jamie said with a surprised look on his faces.
"Don't worry. It wont take long with your help and any way you can use it to show of to the x-geeks." Freed spoke with a friendly smile.
They finished putting away the groceries.
"So where do we start?"
"We'll start with the tart, ok?"
"Ok."
He handed her a bowl full of Strawberries.
"You can cut the tops of and then cut them in half. I'll well I sort out the all ready maid pie crust while you're doing that."
"All ready made, isn't that cheating?"
"Na the thing about cooking is make it simple"
Jamie started preparing the Strawberries popping a couple in his mouth .
"Stop eating the Strawberries." Fred said.
"I can't help it. There really sweet. Here, taste.".
"No if I do that I won't stop just get them ready." He moaned.
Jamie carried on with task still pick odd Strawberries but wasn't worried of not having enough to make the pie as they had three tarries. Jamie quick finished the task with the help of a clone.
"I'm done. Do you need me to do anything else?"
"You wanna make the filling for the pie?"
"I don't know how."
"It's easy. Put 4 tablespoons of redcurrant Jell into a saucepan over a low heat and leave to melt. Once that done, add a couple of tablespoons of water, just enough to make it runny. Just don't let it bubble and It will be done in about 8 minutes"
Jamie got the jam and put into the pot and With Fred's supervision, maid the sources He smiled as admit, it smelled really good.
"Done."
"Good. Could you get me a baking pan? They're in the right cabinet."
Jamie got it and gave it to him and watch as Fred put the pie crust on the pan. He added the Strawberries to the center and poured in the source over them before put on the crust top.
"See that wasn't so hard."
"You're right. It wasn't."
Moving onto the next task Fred started working on the chicken. He cleaned the breast, marinated in a honey and mustered mix well explain every thing to Jamie and let it sit for a while to get the flavour in.
"Can you make the salad?" He asked.
Jamie gave a small smile and go to making the garden salad. The ingredients were laid out for ready to be washed and mixed together. Jamie tossed everything in a salad bowl, mixing lettuce, baby spinach, sliced carrots, red onions, cucumbers, green peppers and black olives all together.
While, Fred slow roasted the chicken Brest.
"You know you still haven't made the scallop potatoes, right?" Jaime asked.
"I started it but it's not done yet."
"Oh!"
"Well, we're done." Jamie said with a small smile
"Not quite. I think we better tied up or the others might get mad." Fred said with a smile.
The kitchen was a tip. Dirty dishes were already piled up in the sink.
"Well, why don't you finish cooking and I'll clean up." Jamie said with tired look
"Thanks Jamie, your ok you know."
Jamie nod and got to cleaning the dirty pans in front of him
Well Jamie got on with that, Fre finished the scallop potatoes. He put them in the oven with the chicken. When Jamie was done, so was dinner.
"Dinner is ready." He said.
"Here come the others".
The other came in form around the boarding-house and what ever they wre doing
"Yo some thing smells good must be the kids hard work." Todd spoke with a big smile on her face.
"Hey, you guys. Dinner is ready." Fred said.
"Sweet. I'm starving." Pietro said.
"Yea lets eat." Lance said as he got some plates out.
Wanda Just stat quietly at the table
One every one was seated Jamie's clones brought over the food. They were enough food to feed a small country so he wasn't worry about them not having enough food.
They all sat down and started eating. Jamie was pleased to see the satisfied look on Brotherhood faces as they ate. He shook his head. While he was halfway through his plate the others, except Raven, were going for second.
"Slow down, you guys. If you eat too much you won't have room for dessert." He said.
"There's dessert?" Todd asked.
"Yeah. Jamie made us a strawberry pie."
That stopped them. He could practically see what was going through their mind.
"Don't worry. It's edible." He said with a laugh.
They finished their dinner talking about this and that. They asked Jamie about the x-geeks. He told them about his teammates' misadventures. They laughed. It was nice sitting here enjoying a great meal and spending time with friends. When they were finished, the others wanted to have dessert while watching TV.
"So how do you guys get the money for all this stuff." Jamie said looking around at the room which had iteams as good if ot better than what was at the mansion
"Magus gives us money for food and the rest we lie, cheat and steal to get." Lance said with a small laugh asked.
So now that we eaten what do you won't to do now? He asked with a gentle smile.
