Three Spoons {Dictation}

[This entry is backdated to about midmorning on July 1st.]

[There are some dainty sniffles coming from the journal today, as if they came from someone who had just begun to recover from a cry, and not even the good kind of cry that makes you feel better. A couple cake batter fingerprints appear, and then are hastily wiped away. That only smudges the paper.]

Oh...I'm sorry about that, I...

[A pause. Jane blows her nose.]

I was...cleaning up a mess...in the kitchen. I'm really sorry about all of that batter...in the sink...that's my fault...!

[Oh sugar, her voice is cracking. Better make this quick.]

I think I'm...ready to admit to my loss...

{Filtered to - Anyone who confronted her about her loss}

All of you were right. I'm sorry I was so prickly about it before.

{Filtered to - Uru}

Would you still...let someone into the baking club even if they couldn't bake...?

[cyan_maid]

I suppose so. I mean, there is a multitude of things to do, right? Even in Paradisa. Baking just...won't be one of them.

[walkinthruwalls]

Exactly. Can you still cook or would that still count as baking?

[cyan_maid]

I think I am fine so long as I don't use the oven.

[walkinthruwalls]

What about food that goes in the oven? It'd be awkward asking someone to put it in all the time.

[cyan_maid]

[She hadn't thought of that.]

Oh gosh! I hope I can still use it for other things!!

[walkinthruwalls]

I guess you'll find out if you can't. Or maybe you could ask a ghost?

[cyan_maid]

I could do that. It'd be a shame if I wanted to make lasagna and I couldn't put the tray in the oven!

[walkinthruwalls]

Ooh you know how to make lasagna? [ ... Because that was so the point, Kitty ]

[cyan_maid]

Well, yes! It's not that hard, there are just a lot of steps to follow. [It may not be the point, but Jane's not complaining.]

[walkinthruwalls]

I made a big mess of it the last time I tried.

[cyan_maid]

Oh? What happened, exactly?

[walkinthruwalls]

I just didn't exactly cook it right.

[cyan_maid]

There's really nothing tricky about making lasagna. Was the temperature wrong? Did you bake it too long?

[walkinthruwalls]

I'm not sure, probably something like that. It just really didn't taste nice.

[cyan_maid]

Hm...Are you sure you put the right ingredients in it?

[walkinthruwalls]

Yeah, I followed the recipe.

[cyan_maid]

Hmmmmm...

Then I am utterly stumped as to why it wouldn't work.
