Cooking Together
Cooking soon became something of a thing between the Herewards. Neither of them were proficient in it. Barbara hadn't had to cook since she had moved into Nonnatus House. Tom, meanwhile, hadn't seen much reason to cook for only one person. So, when they got hitched, it became a game of sorts between them. Most times, Tom wound up fixing himself a sandwich on Barbara's long nights. Barbara ate at Nonnatus when she knew Tom would be out for the night. When Barbara did cook, Tom found himself gearing up for meal that may not always be edible. It also never failed, as it happened the night Valerie delivered the baby who was thought to be stillborn, that the night the food was edible, Barbara or Tom would have to be called out. And, once they arrived home, the food was cold and no longer as appetizing as it had been only an hour or two before.
