“Now what?” she asks, stepping back from the oven.
“We prep everything else and wait four hours” I answer, eyeing the oven timer nervously.
———
The turkey’s been cooking for about an hour and a half and with my assistance Bette has managed to successfully prepare the stuffing as well.
In all the years we’ve been friends Bette and I have never cooked together. Like everything else she approached the task of preparing this dinner with determination and more focus than anyone should ever really need in a kitchen.
Surprisingly she was a good student. For some reason I imagined her to be argumentative, refusing to take orders at the same time questioning every order I gave. I was pleased to discover that wasn’t the case, at least not yet I thought, crossing my fingers.
She stood above the stove, gradually whisking chocolate blocks in a bowl, over a pot of simmering water. From my stool on the opposite end of the kitchen island I had instructed her to whisk it into a creamy smooth consistency that I knew if done correctly would produce an equally creamy smooth pudding – Another Kennard family recipe and one of my favorites. Admittedly, this recipe is not a traditional thanksgiving one however Bette isn’t aware of that or perhaps she is but choses not to object either way I’m the one giving the instructions and my favorite goes.
“I think it’s done”
“Do you see any lumps?”
“Yes”
“Then it’s not done”
“How about I turn the heat up and let it melt?”
“No”
“Why?”
“Because it’s not the Kennard way”
“It’ll be the Bette Porter way”
“No!” I exclaim, thinking back to my earlier shock at how agreeable she was. Spoken too soon, I thought.
“Why are you so difficult?”
“I’m not difficult Bette, we need to follow the recipe”
“It’s a recipe Tina not an official gazette” Bette’s whisking shifts from gradual to manic, hot water threatening to spill from the pot under the pressure of her insistent wrist. “You could do with a little flexibility. The world won’t fall apart if things don’t go as expected”

Funny and wonderfully written!
May we have a follow-up to the follow-up please? We would love to hear about the date!
Just absolutely excellent. thank you.
cute, clever and entertaining. maybe there could be a spin off
Call you lazy never. I liked this Challenge and I think that it has potential to continue into a seperate story of how Bette and Tina’s date go and how the other girls, especailly Alice reacts to this and a little more progression into their courtship. Just a thought.
I loved this story. I’m so glad Tina finally relented. I just wish it could continue so that we could see how this whole relationship thing works out.
This is a wonderful addition thank u, and have a nice thanksgivings ;D
Bette Porter needing guidance in the proper handling of breasts? – Very nice twist. Thank you.
