Milano stood by her oven, practically vibrating with excitement. The second the timer dinged, she was reaching in for the tray of perfectly browned cookies, her imagination already running wild with all the frosting possibilities.
"Shortie, come here! You knead to see this. These cookies really take the cake!"
Shortie just rolled her eyes. Her cookie specialist could do magic with a cookie sheet but Milano's delight in terrible food puns would lead one to wonder what they were teaching Subetan youths in school these days.
"This batch is so good, it'll really bring in the dough." Milano giggled. "Get it? Dough!
"Oh, Milano. You're going to have a whole page in Dad Jokes dedicated to you one of these days."
Milano beamed at her oldest friend as she began to carefully slide cookies from the sheet to the workbench. Another batch already awaited her attention. She reached overhead to the shelf where she kept her frosting kit. It was a food-grade plastic box filled with smaller containers that held food dye, sprinkles, measuring spoons and anything else one would ever need to decorate a cookie. Perfect golden-brown rounds soon boasted edible paint that portrayed the lands of Subeta. Everything from the glacial cliffs of Arctic Frost to the murky woods of Shadowglen was expertly detailed on a cookie. They were for an upcoming Councilor Cruise promotional event that would lure the socialites of Subeta into making donations and flaunting the latest fashion trends.
Next was a batch of tutani-shaped shortbread for the birthday party of a little guy named Finn. He would be turning five and his hero was Thunderbolt, an up-and-coming comic book hero who started life as a common tutani and gained all sorts of powers after drinking a nuclear potion.
There were the more mundane cookies, of course. Chocolate chip. Shortbread. Oatmeal raisin.
Then there were the regional favorites such as stitched-together cookies in the shape of gravestones that would ship to the Underground. Shortie and Milano were always happy to help Elsie out on specialty orders.
Her morning orders well under control, Milano stepped outside the cozy warmth of the kitchen to take a few bags to the dumpster. It was a crisp autumn day, not quite cold enough for true winter but definitely hinting of the coming festivities of Fireside and Luminaire. Milano took a deep breath and let out a contented sigh. She loved colder weather, sipping hot cocoa in front of a blazing fire and reading a good book.
She was partial to cookbooks. One can never have too many recipes!
Movement out of the corner of her eye made her pause at the door. The squirrel was fat and sassy after a summer of gorging himself on all the goodies the parks of Subeta had to offer. He hardly needed to scrounge for food but the sweet scent of Milano's cookie scraps had drawn him over to investigate.
She did her best attempt at a tigrean roar, sending the squirrel flying away with a squeak of alarm. She particularly disliked squirrels...always had, always would.
Mallarchy March came on the radio and she swung her hips in time to the music as she returned to her station. Her spoon swished around the batter in time to each singer's quack. She was too into the music to notice how hard Shortie was working to cover a grin.
The end of the workday was always bittersweet. It was nice to go home and put her feet up but she so loved her job that leaving the familiar sights and smells of the kitchen made her just a little sad. She stopped over at Food Market on her way home, browsing the single-serve meals. Not sweet & sour pork, certainly. She couldn't stomach anything sour. She wasn't really in the mood for meatloaf.
Aha! Chicken alfredo. A lovely comfort food.
Why does one of Subeta's best bakers resort to premade meals instead of cooking herself a gourmet dinner, you may ask.
Until you actually see her attempts at cooking. They're just a few shades darker than the coal Darkheart Phantom uses in her Luminaire "gifts". Milano has literally been known to burn soup.
Her evening is filled with doodles of ideas for new cookie shapes and a few chapters of the romance novel she's working on. She lives the sweet life...literally!
