Jamie smiled at him. "You're a good student--you learn and try your best, you don't give up at the unfamiliar. And you have much better culinary instincts than Ivannya."
She giggled at the teasing, and explained to Toffee, "The first time I tried to make stew for us because Jamie was really--um, busy," she euphemised quickly, "And Hendrick was, um, busy with him and Master Erik too, I thought that, you know, pineapples and ham, they go together, people eat them on pizza, and we had this honey-glazed ham left over, so I put it in the stew and a bunch of those canned pineapples, and then I thought, you know, cheese is also on Hawaiian pizza, so I put some cheddar in..." and she fully dissolved into laughter along with the others at that memory.
"To her credit, she was pretty..."
"Sex addled?" Jamie suggested at Hendrick's trailing off.
Hendrick snorted, and continued. "But really, it was just horrible. It's like every cooking class we had at the Academy just got deleted from her brain or something."
"I can follow recipes, thank you very much, and I know which foods are good for exciting or soothing the body," Ivannya sniffed at him. "It's just that making things up on my own never turns out well."
