Το writing prompt που σου δίνω είναι να γράψεις για κάτι που σου συναίβει σήμερα, όσο basic και αν ήταν η μέρα
The ticking of the clock echoed, a reminder of the time practically chasing after them. They thinly chopped the potatoes, before dropping them into the boiling water. Just like their mother taught them.
Moments like this, Ash couldn’t help but think of the first time they stepped foot in a professional kitchen. At 17 years young, they had already learnt their first cutting techniques, waiting to be mastered.
Now, at 32, they feel more ready and sure of themselves than they did before. Their movements are swift and calculated; nothing like the inexperienced teenager a few years ago.
After making sure everything was under control, they went over to the pork. A quick glance at their list of spices was enough. Their finger slid through the lines, the pages ever-so knocked up and the handwriting messy. They knew exactly what they needed. The perfect mix of traditional and modern, something that would appeal to almost every taste. The prep cook had already made sure it was slowly cooking. Even in its current state, in the big, steaming pot, the bubbles bursting soundly, it was certain to make one’s mouth water. The cozy feelings its soft smell caused, could take them back to their first job as an intern, merely following instructions from more experienced individuals in the kitchen. This was Ash’s favourite recipe by now; courtesy of their first chef at the seasonal job they worked right after culinary school.
When the potatoes were ready, they took them out to prepare the puree. They followed the basic steps to making it, but added their own little twist; chives. Thinly chopping them up, they dropped them in. They were told that chives added flavour on the mashed potatoes on their second job; they’ve been adding them in since then.
After a while, Ash checked the pork; the kitchen fork could easily pierce it, and the meat was practically falling off the bone. They nodded to themselves; it was ready to be served.They grabbed a couple plates, and virtually covered an entire counter with them. With practiced ease, they added the mashed potatoes on the bottom in the shape they knew so well, followed by a generous piece of pork, covered in that thick, brown sauce that always left them wanting more. Then, they topped it off with some finely cut parsley.
Food was ready to be served.
