Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tianna laughed and said, "Yeah. I need four punds of shrimp, four tenderloin steaks. A two blocks of fresh parmessian cheese. A gallon of heavy cream and some nutmeg. I'd go out myself but I'm still not completely awake from my 'nap'." She reached into her wrinkled pocket and pulled out a billfold and pulled out a hundred dollar bill. "This should cover everything. I'm gonna cook us a huge celebratory dinner. And feed the tumor in my stomach." She laughed and let out a huge smile.

Tianna laughed and said, "Yea. Its a pretty simple recipe. One of the simplest I know and I don't feel like being complex." She walked up the stairs to her appartment, grabbing the bag of stuff before heading up. She set the stuff on the counter and pulled out what she needed, pulling more things out of the cubboard.

((I thought we were in the apartment one floor down form mine..... Oh well. Lolz.))
"Watch, help whenever I ask. Cooking isn't very hard. So its not really something you need more than one person to cook unless you're cooking for more than ten people. But I'll show you the easiest way to make a cream sauce. Here. You take 2 cups of the heavy cream, pour it into the pot and turn the heat on. You wait till it boils and in the meantime you put the water boiling for the fetuccini noodles, cause it takes a while for em to cook. I add salt and oil so the water is hotter when I put the noodles in and it helps the oil to keep it from sticking. ((This is an actuall recipe and its delicious. You should try it.)) Now that the cream is hot enough I'll add 1 1/3 cups of parmesian cheese and stir it in. Not all of it will dissolve but it adds a nice texture. Now add a few dashes of pepper. I usually add twelve. Now I add 6 tablespoons of butter and stir it in till it melts. Two dashes of nutmeg... And now we heat up these frozen shrimps I asked you to get while we wait for the sauce to boil again...." Tianna said, adding everything as she said it. She put the shrimp in a bowl and put it int the microwave for five minutes. She turned and stirred, adding, "Don't stop stirring it for long or the parmesian cheese settles to the bottom and makes a mess. And you loose some of the taste and a lot of the texture. Now we add the noodles to the water, and you can use normal noodles too. You don't have to use fetuccini for this recipe. Now while wee wait for these noodles to boil," she said taking te now cooked shrimp from the microwave, "We drain all of the water, pour the sauce on them and put them into the microwave to keep them warm hile we cook the steaks." She once again worked as she said the directions out loud and pulled the steaks out of the bag. "I just put garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and montreal steak seasoning on them. Oh and some Jack Daniels Smoked Brown Hickory BBQ sauce. I deep fry them but you can broil them too." Tianna pulled out a skillet and filled it halfway with oil. She turned the stove on medium and leaned against a counter and said, "I have to let it heat up." ((I'm gonna let you post now cause my fingers are cramping really badly from all of the typing))

Tianna blushed and said, "Really?" She smiled slightly and put seasoning on the steak. She put it in the oil and watched it sizzle. She hugged him quickly and said, "I thought I'd return the favor."

Tianna laughed lightly and siad, "Well. A lot of wolves, the normal kind I mean, will stay in one spot for a long time. Not moving and letting the other memebers of the pack feed her, because only the head female is actually allowed to mate. The other females have to like get permission. I think its wierd but its similar to what happened to me. More similar to a hybernating bear though." She laughed slightly and flipped the steak over in the oil, using a fork on the counter.

"No I don't need any help. So go grab whatever you wanted." She flipped the steak again, determined to keep it from burning. She poured the fetuccini noodles into the now boiling water and thought, "As soon as the steaks are done I'm gonna let the fetuccini noodles boil and take a shower. My hair is greasy and I stink really badly..... A couple months worth of sleep did not do any good for ones hygene....

Tianna finished cooking the first steak and put the second one going, cooking them extra rare. She put the other two steaks in the fridge for some other time along with two of the pounds of shrimp. She wrapped the steaks in plastic wrap and put it in the microwave to keep it warm. She hopped in the shower, shaving her legs and rubbing down with axe shower gel. It was for men but she loved it too much. She got out and pulled a black skirt out of her closet and a blood red quarter sleeve form fitting shirt. She dried her hair with an extra power hair drier and brushed it out, moving at top speed to get done before Niraj came back. Her stomach bulged slightly but because she was naturally thin it didn't show. She heated the steaks up and put them on individual plates, putting the now done fetuccini noodles next to the steak and reheating the shirmp and pouring it on the noodles, placing forks and knives on each of the plates. She put the plates on her glass dining table and pulled out two blood red candles to match her shirt. She lit them and smoothed the black wrap around skirt down nervously. She drizzled a little of the cheese sauce over the steaks in a criss cross pattern and turned off all the lights and dimmed the dining room chandalier light. It was turning into a date and she hadn't been on a real date in about four years.

Tianna blushed and took the flower stammering, "T-thanks... I'll go put it in a vase." She started to turn around to go to te kitchen to get a vase and stopped slightly iving Niraj a peck on the cheek before walking quickly to the kitchen, blushing profusely. She got a vase and filled it with mildly warm water and broght it back, placing it in between the two candles. The crystal glimmered in the fire light.
