Why not cook another quick dish. Your previous one was a great success, so this next one couldn't hurt a bit. You are in the mood for... a nice gourmet cheese pizza. You swipe out some dough, mozzarella, tomato slices and a variety of spices, before washing your hands in preparation for your work. You firmly grasp the dough, feeling it's curves and shape, before pushing it out. It springs back a little bit, but in response you push again. Soon the soft sphere had become a flat circle of dough. Your culinary canvas. And now it was time to paint your picture.

You took your paper-thin tomato slices and arranged them around the center of the pizza, like a newborn fish's scales. To check the seamlessness of your work, you brushed your hand on the new bumps you created, then checked your fingertips for flour.

Flourless.

Taking the shredded mozzarella cheese in hand you sprinkle it delicately onto the pizza, making sure not to damage the future crust. You generously take from the "rich" areas on the dough, then drag it over to the "poor." A chef's Robin Hood, if you will. Once your cheese had been laid out, you put some of your favorite oregano and basil on top. As you open the oven to complete your masterpiece, you feel the warmth from it emanate towards your heart. You quickly slide in the pizza, anticipating the wonder that should come out the other end.

"Uhh, Evan?" You hear Ken's voice from across the room, near the door to the dorm.

"Yeah Ken?"

"Where were you at school? You weren't cooking for all that time were you..."
