Shepard paused as she exited the elevator, surprised to hear sounds of awe and laughter coming from the lounge Kasumi had claimed. Intrigued, she followed the noise.
A handful of crew members were sprawled on the lounge sofas watching... a cooking show?
"Did you see all that butter?" Chambers' voice betrayed the envy of a life-long dieter.
Gardner snorted, "Butter, so what. Did you see all that lard?"
Tali sounded squeamish. "Is that... is that animal fat? From a real animal?"
"Best eatin' around, bleeding heart."
On-screen, the tall, stoutly built woman was demonstrating kitchen gear. She showed off her paring technique – cutting towards her fingers – and then began to lecture on the importance of sharpening knives.
"And you see, if it's properly sharpened, it'll slice the tomato without any pressure, and if you put it on your arm -" she laid the blade of the chef's knife across her wrist and finished merrily "it will slice right through to the bone!"
Shepard raised her eyebrows. "Well, at least the woman knows her knives."
note: Yes, this is paraphrased from an actual Julia child show. No, I am not confusing it with the SNL sketch - she really did that.
