Hey. I know it has been a while since I last updated Strictly Bilbo. But here it is. The new chapter. In this chapter young Bilbo learns how to make a grilled cheese sandwich. I hope you all enjoy. And I would like to say thank you to dreamflower02 for the idea. So without further ado. Here is cooking with Bilbo.
Bilbo's stomach gave a loud grumble as he sat down next to his mother. His mother had been knitting and sewing and mending stuff all day. But now Bilbo wanted his luncheon.
"Mama," said Bilbo quietly.
"Yes my love," said his mother looking up from the pair of pants she was mending.
"I hungwy mama," said Bilbo.
Belladonna smiled down at her young son. At the age of five he was beginning to be a smart lad. She set aside her work.
"Do you want to help me make luncheon for daddy, yourself, and I?" she asked looking the child in the eyes seriously.
Bilbo nodded excitedly. He wandered what mama was going to teach him to make.
"What we make mama?" he asked excitedly. "What we make?"
"I will teach you to make my favorite sandwich ever. A grilled cheese sandwich."
The young hobbit clapped his hands gleefully. He loved the cheesy sandwich as much as his mother did. He jumped down from the chair he was sitting and began to hop around excitedly.
"Come on mama. We cook now."
Bilbo grabbed Belladonna's hand and practically dragged her to the kitchen. Mama didn't let him help her often. But it was alway fun when she did.
Belladonna smiled widely as she brought over the step stool so that Bilbo could see over the counter. She placed him on the stool.
"I will handle the part with the stove," she told him. "You are still to young yet to do that."
"What I do mama?" Bilbo asked.
She placed bread, butter, cheese, and a butter knife, not sharp enough to cut him but sharp enough to get through the butter, in front of Bilbo.
"I would like for you to butter the first piece of bread and then hand it to me."
Bilbo did as he was asked.
"That's too much butter, my dear," said Belladonna scraping off some of the butter. "But that was a good first try."
Bilbo whose face had fallen when heard about having too much butter smiled at his mother's compliment. He went to butter another piece when his mother stopped him.
"We need four pieces of cheese first Bilbo," she said gently.
"One," he said as he peeled a piece of cheese off the pack. "Two." Another piece. "Three." Another piece. "And four." Another piece. He then handed them over to his mother who placed them on the bread.
"Now you may butter the other piece of bread."
Bilbo butter the bread with less butter than the first time. He handed the piece over to his mother. Who smiled down at her small son.
"Good job Bilbo."
Belladonna cooked the grilled cheese to the right amount of doneness and it was ready by the time her husband got home for luncheon. She plated the grilled cheese and placed it in Bilbo's hand.
"Go give father his luncheon now," Belladonna told her son.
Bilbo ran off with the sandwich yelling excitedly, "Papa! Papa! Look what mama taught me to do."
There you have the next chapter of Strictly Bilbo done. I hope you all enjoy. And please feel free to send me more prompts. I have only one more left to do. Young Bilbo will give you hugs if you review. Please review and let me know what you think of the story so far.
