Okay so I'm looking for easy and simple cooking recipes that don't take a lot of time.

[She doesn't have the focus for time.]

And if you're going to ask me why I as a girl don't already have 'em, don't. Because I will punch you in the face and I am getting really good at it.

As a girl? Is such a collection a prerequisite?

Hey, Bev. I'm sure Eric's left something around here if you want to stop by.

[gristle]

Depends on who you ask. Not me, obviously.

[gristle]

I was planning on it later for dinner.

[With dinner, it's a plan thing.]

I don't think being a girl means you need to know how to cook.

[Wanda knows how to cook a little but that had been a life time ago. Nowadays she lives off of pizza or whatever premade food she can purchase.]

Have you thought about making stews? They aren't fast but its easy and it makes a lot of food. You can microwave the left overs which is quick.

[gristle]

Nah, not really. I haven't really thought of anything. Normally I just eat other places but...

[But Eric is gone and she's not going to get into that.]

[minus1twin]

I can show you.

Otherwise I'd suggest finding the number to the pizza place around here.

Anyone who thinks that being a woman automatically makes you inclined to cooking should be forced to eat Alex's cooking.

I have quite a few dishes I could teach you to cook. Is there a reason you need them?

[gristle]

That would be cool. I'm Beverly. Who are you?

And I already know all the takeout spots, but it's not the same thing.

[Not really family dinner./small>]

Private.

[gristle]

I think you're trying to make me a murderer, Richard.

[But way more seriously and somberly:]

Eric's gone. He cooked for Aaron.

[minus1twin]

Wanda. Maximoff.

[She hasn't had a family dinner in a long time...]

It's nice to meet you Beverly.

[gristle]

You too. If you show me how to make it, you can probably come have dinner with Aaron and me. And Stan too, now that he's here. He's a friend from home.

[minus1twin]

I'd that like.

I don't know too many people here yet.

[She's still getting used to things.]

[ubbe]

Nothing I know how to make is quick.

[ Cooking over a fire in olden days rarely was quick. ]

[gristle]

Most people here are pretty good, I've found, but you have to give them a chance.

[gristle]

Thanks, but it's not helpful then. Also I don't wanna stand over a fire that long. You know me, I'd get bored.

[ubbe]

You probably wouldn't like Viking food very much either.

[minus1twin]

Yeah?

I just need to meet people. The sphere's flooded shortly after I arrived. I don't know if it's always like this but I haven't had time to formally meet a lot of people.

[gristle]

Why? What's it like?

[gristle]

They always do parties at the beginning of the month. If nothing else, it'll be a good time to meet everyone there. There's always a dumb theme but a lot of food.

[ubbe]

It is very plain and simple in comparison to most of the food here.

[gristle]

Yeah, I probably wouldn't like it, especially since it takes a long time. If it takes a long time, it should be good.

[itsnothingpersonal]

Obviously. I suppose you're afraid everyone's going to tell you it's women's work and you should already know, is that it?

[customplates]

Well, how about you come over, and we can figure it out together.

I...guess I need to, too.

[gristle]

Here? Only a little. If I was hope it's a different story.

But I really would punch someone for being an asshole.
