Maine smiled as she heard the dial being turned and set the skillet onto the stove. Not bothering to light the fire beneath it, she turned towards the chicken. She'd gotten Gabi to season it for her earlier, so she pulled out a tray and poured some flour onto it.
Dropping the chicken fillet into the flour, she rolled it around a bit until the flour stuck to the meat before setting it aside and continuing with the other pieces. Then, pouring some vegetable oil into the skillet, she lit the fire and put two pieces of the chicken onto it.
Turning as she heard Leo's statement, Maine struggled to maintain a straight face. "What did she say?" she asked, before taking another glance at the recipe book. Sliding the chopping board towards him, Maine smiled. "Could you slice up half a lemon and mince the parsley, love?"
Sure he could. Maine wasn't giving him the difficult tasks. But the thoughts of her own grandmother were a little too terrifying to linger on. So she distracted herself by prodding at the chicken pieces with a pair of chopsticks ntil it was ready to be flipped over. |
