Silver smiled, "Good" he said, "the peas are done and I'm starving!"

Lee chuckled, "I am too, to be honest with you…" He headed into the kitchen and began grabbing silverware, plates and glasses to set on the table. "I'm sure it's a matter of minutes…"

Silver quickly drained the water from the peas, placing them in a bowl and heading over to the table. "We make a pretty good feast" he commented.

Lee pulled a chair back and sat down after setting the dinnerware in place. "I would say the same thing. It isn't a whole lot, yet it'll be enough to satisfy my stomach until bedtime…"

Silver grinned, pulling up the chair across from him, "I would hope so cause this looks amazing"

"Well thanks," Lee said, grinning. "I suppose we can dig in, shall we?"
Max came trotting in from his nap on tbe couch and lied down on the floor next to Lee, waiting for the scraps to fall off the table.

Silver grinned when he saw Max come over. "I think we shall" he said, "And possibly feed Max while we're at it." he helped himself to some of the food,

Lee laughed, "If anything falls on the floor, then he can have it, but I don't deliberately feed him human food – it isn't all too healthy for him…." He reached and grabbed a chicken thigh with his fork. "But anything that falls, goes."

Silver laughed, "Well I doubt he's gonna get anything from me then.." said Silver, helping himself to the peas.

"If you're careful…" Lee began to serve some peas to himself and grabbed an ear of seasoned corn, and began to eat. "If he doesn't get any, I drop a sliver or two in his bowl afterwards…."

Silver smiled, digging into his own food wordlessly, forcing himself to eat politely rather than let his wolf side show through.

Lee picked up his corn and began to eat diligently and silently. It was incredily delicious, and the spices added an extra kick to the corn's corny taste. Even I deserve a little credit… This is really good… Out of this world, maybe.

Silver smiled, enjoying the meal quite thoroughly. Finishing off his share of the corn he moved onto the chicken, loving every bite.

Lee had finished his corn, and he was sad there was no more. If I knew how hungry I was, then I would've cooked more…. He glanced over at Silver. "I see that you're enjoying this quite a bit…." He said with a grin.

"Well of course!" said Silver, pausing for a moment, "I'm not sure what you put on the corn but it tastes amazing." another reason to let myself fall for him…

"It's my secret kind of thing. It's a perfect blend I actually accindentally came up with when I was fussing in the kitchen one day," Lee admitted with a chuckle. "I wasn't sure how it happened, but it made the perfect blend for… Well…. It works on other things besides grilled corn."

Silver smiled, "Well every cook has his secrets." he said, "I actually have a couple blends myself, but they're all at home"

"Maybe you can bring them over next time and we can try them out on ribs or steak or sirloin or something," Lee said, putting his fork and knife down to have a sip of water. "That would be amazing…."

Silver grinned, "You're making me hungry just thinking about it!" he said, finishing off his portion.

"Well, I can always make dessert or something – maybe pie, cake, cupcakes, cookies…. Whatever you want, really…." Lee finished his food too. "Or if you're full, I respect that."

"Pastries sounds like fun" said Silver, "Though I have to warn you it's the one thing I was never able to master"

"Maybe I can help you," Lee said with a smile, standing up. "To be truthful, I was never really able to cook – no matter what it was…" He picked up his dirty dishes and took Silver's, assuming he was done. "But here I am, crafting the best grilled corn," He laughed, setting the stuff in the sink.

Silver grinned, clearing away some of the dirty dinner dishes, grabbing the rest with a flair of silvery aura. "I've always wanted to try baking a cake, but I always burn it…" he said wryly.

"It depends on how long you bake it at what temperature. I truthfully don't have a recipe of my own for cake, and that's why I have this–" He slapped a book on the counter. "It's an entire book of recipes passed all the way down to me from my great-great-great grandmother. Plus some of the signature ones the other generations came up with along the way. My mother was a tad disappointed when she realized she had to pass the book to a son rather than a daughter… But I still have it…." He forced out a grin.

Silver laughed, "And who said guys can't cook!" he said, laughing, "So, did your grandmother have a good recipe for cake?"

"Well, lets have a look…." He flipped through it. "Unfortunately, some of the secret ingredients that the much earlier generations used have… Have gone extinct, so there's no possible way to make them…" He stopped at a certain page. "But my grandmother does have something she calls a sunflower cake. Don't worry, it really doesn't have any seeds or anything in it. It's all about its appearance…"

Silver came over, "Can I see the first one?" he said, "Just because it hasn't been seen in awhile doesn't mean it's extinct…"

"Hmm? Oh…." Lee flipped back to one of the front pages. "It's this one…" He pointed to a sepia picture of a cake with dark flower petals on it. "I would bake it, but it needs hibiscus petals, and I heard that the climate has changed drastically, and… They can't grow anymore. Well that's what my mother told me anyways." Even though it seems warm enough right now for them to grow.

(I'm just making stuff up don't worry.)

(I know, I'm making stuff up too!)
Silver frowned, "I've seen that flower before, though I have no clue why you'd put it on a cake…" he said suspiciously.

"It's possible that it's for decoration only. It says here that she won the award for the best looking cake, not necessarily the best tasting cake." Lee shrugged. "And now that I read it, you need some hibiscus nectar or something…. Honey?? It's quite confusing, and even I haven't had the courage to make it." He rubbed at the picture. "But if you know where you can find them…" Then I may as well call you my savior!!! He joked.
