Who: Eugene Woods and all would-be and actual cooks of the fleet
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Vanquish galley
When: November 30th
Hey again, everybody. Eugene, back with you from my galley sweet galley above the Vanquish.
[He has a little look around, which honestly doesn't take much more than some pointed glancing.]
You know, for a walk-in closet with a few appliances and a protein paste dispenser, it really does grow on you. And, speaking of growing-
[Right on cue, he lifts a large jar that had been resting in his lap, setting it down on the galley table. It's mostly full of something that looks like paste. Off-white, faintly bubbly paste.]
I'm proud to announce that this little guy is surviving the perils of space travel just fine, and has produced a nice batch of rolls that I'm just praying the oven doesn't try to burn while I'm recording this and distracted. In anyone wants their own sourdough starter, I'll be happy to share the secrets of fresh, homemade bread with anyone who has a clean jar and a kitchen capable of giving them at least some flour, salt, and oil. I'll be in the Vanquish . . . more or less for the forseeable future. So come by if you've been missing your leavened, carby delights, and I'll get you set up.
[The oven does seem to be cooperating today, and within minutes of the broadcast, crewmates aboard the Vanquish should start noticing the aroma of fresh bread baking.]

Let me preface this by saying that although my augment designates me as a cook I have only a hair more than the faintest idea of what I am doing. That said, my kitchen is outfitted with the necessary ingredients.

[He's quiet a thoughtful moment, itching at the corner of his jaw.]
Maybe you could just . . . come by one day and I'll show you how it's done? Bread isn't exactly particle physics, but it is easier to learn in person than from a book.

To be quite fair, I don't know anything about particle physics either, so it might be all the same from my perspective.

Though, uh. You might want to bring a book or something. Unless you want to spend the few hours of waiting time learning to cook something else.

[He doesn't want to brag, but he does spend a lot of time experimenting with dispensed Mystery Protein.]
I figured out how to make decent noodles out of the stuff they give us, and they dry and store pretty well. Otherwise you can hack the protein into fried chicken, meatloaf, imitation ice cream . . . honestly, it's a lot more than you'd think, as long as you have some pantry staples to help it along.
