Characters: Vinnie & Mackenzie. Setting: Beauregard kitchens, Sunday afternoon after lunch. Content: SFW unless you have something against Italian baking? Summary: Vinnie badgers Mack into helping him make struffoli and they talk about things like women do. It was fairly hot to Vinnie, and baking didn't make it any better. Still, with a few carefully done charms it was at least comfortable in the kitchens. He had asked to be able to use the facilities again so that he could do some baking, and had coerced Mack into coming to be his sous chef. She should learn how to do some things, he thought, and he did love to cook and bake things from home. It made him much less homesick for his family that way. "Ok, bella, if you could sift that flour there, I'll prep everything else?" There was something very peaceful about cooking to the Italian. He didn't know if it was because it reminded him of home, or if it was because going over the steps had some sort of Zen mindset thing to it. Like how it wasn't the destination that mattered, but the journey. Or maybe he just liked to cook. Either way, Vinnie was happy being in the kitchen working with his hands. He looked to Mack with a smile to see what her answer was.
