Kapitel 67: Marc Is Invited To Dinner

Loriel checked on the recipe on the internet just to double-check them for one last time. While he appreciated the instructions, Loriel usually ended up using ingredients that he thought matched the dish more if necessary.

"Is there anything I can do to help with the preparation?" Elise asked.

Loriel glanced back at his wife and smiled. "Thank you for the thought, but I'd like to handle this fine on my own. Haven't I told you earlier that I'd impress you with my cooking skills when we chatted at the cafe, Elise?"

Elise brushed back some of her hair. "Well there's that, but your friend is coming over. Besides, I don't want to just sit down while you're standing around and cooking."

Elise also had her own stubborn nature.

"Alright, I'd like you to gather some things from the fridge and shelves then, Elise. Olive oil, some unsalted butter, and a small onion and heat it up in a large saucepan. I'll go get the rice and fish stock."
