day by day [open]
Who: Tsuzuki Asato and you!
When: August 27 - 29
What: Bartending, adventures with baking, and meeting ghost puppies
Where: KINYOBI bar, Konohanasakuya-hime's temple and the Far Shore park!
Warnings: Really bad cooking? Otherwise this should be tame.
The Bartender's Nightmare - August 27, Kinyobi
[So it's a Saturday night, Tsuzuki's managed to help Gojyo get most of the place cleaned and organized, and it's just that time in late summer when the stores are full of fresh fruit and it's even mostly affordable.
Tsuzuki has plans. He's also got a book of gourmet fresh fruit cocktail recipes, and he's taken up camp behind the bar with a cheap blender, a shaker, a cutting board, eggs, rimming sugar (and salt) and an extremely hopeful expression.
There's a small chalkboard swinging where he's hung it next to the shelves behind the bar, reading:
Persimmon Fizz (persimmon, gin, lemon, egg white) Y800
The Hot & Sweet (Asian pear, ginger beer, bourbon) Y1000
Watermelon Martini (watermelon, vodka, lime juice) Y1200
Total Eclipse (blackberries, whiskey, lemon juice) Y1000
TASTING MENU -- Y500/glass -- Bartender will custom mix!!
Order at your own risk... or take the easy way out and get something more classic.]
Free Cookies, No Strings Attached - Aug 28 - Outside Konohanasakuya-hime's temple
[All the sign says, actually, is FREE COOKIES. It's neatly hand-calligraphed, with an arrow, and a really clumsy drawing of what might be either a cookie plate or a lopsided lotus seedhead (probably cookies; the little circles inside the big circle have spots inked on them.)
Follow the arrow, and the pleasant odor of baking chocolate-chip cookies wafting from an open door towards the back of Sakura's temple will guide you the rest of the way. Inside, Tsuzuki's waiting eagerly next to an oven, double-checking the timer on his phone, and waiting for a pretty plate of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies next to him to cool.
(Eater beware. He misread the amount of salt they called for, and added cinnamon, because he thought it would be good. A lot of cinnamon.)]
Petting Puppies in the Park - Aug 29 - Far Shore Park
[They don't have any pets around the temple, but it's okay; Tsuzuki's found it's not too long of a walk to get to the park in the Northwest district. Not nearly as long as the walk to get to the meeting hall, anyway, or the library.
He's started a habit of dropping by in the early afternoons with dog biscuits, because, he's found, the best thing about the park is that it's positively full of animals. Most of them are wild (although tanuki apparently like dog biscuits too) but there are some domestic spirits hanging around, and Tsuzuki's trying to coax a half-grown mutt closer bit by bit with cooing and treats.]
Here, puppy, puppy! C'mere....

Hmmm. I think you might need to experiment a little more, Tsuzuki. [ Not wanting him to take that badly, she smiles up at him all the same. ] But that's the fun part about trying a new recipe, right? You get to experiment until you find the combination that works best.
no subject
Maybe less salt, too...
[He takes another thoughtful bite. He seems to have a high tolerance for terrible cookie, because he's not spitting it out right away at all. In fact, he's finishing off the cookie in another couple of bites.
Sure it's a little weird, but it's also chocolate chip, and that's not to be wasted.]
What do you think?
no subject
Nanako gamely finishes the cookie as well, trying to figure out what was missing. ] Maybe more sugar instead of salt?
no subject
[Is he -- he is reaching for another cookie. And biting in.]
Cinnamon should go with chocolate! I saw this recipe for American chocolate cake that had cinnamon in it.
... Definitely too much salt, I think, though.
no subject
no subject
... is he really eating a third cookie....
Two bites, and it's gone, too. He pops a crumb into his mouth, and considers it.]
Yeah, sweeter would be better too. Maybe I should add more sugar, and use, hmm, do you think half as much salt?
no subject
[ She apparently doesn't see anything really wrong with this. It would be a shame to waste the cookies after all. ]
no subject
I was trying to be good and not taste any of the dough before they were baked this time. But I guess if it's just to make sure the cookies are gonna taste right....
[Then that makes a perfect excuse!]
no subject
no subject
[Always Lick the Spoon.
Now that's the kind of rule Asato can really get behind. He grins at Nanako.]
So it sounds like you're a pretty experienced baker, huh?
no subject
No, I'm still learning how to do a lot of it. But I like making food for my friends and learning new things.
no subject
[And then he won't -- like he seems prepared to do with this batch -- have to eat them all himself.]
no subject
I can help, if you want! Then we can figure it out together!
no subject
[Because of course they'll both have to eat some.
To see if it's good, of course.]
