She didn’t mean to frighten the other girl and let the tension leave herself. She shook her head at the question. Oh that was what she had thought the first time and then disaster happened.

“No, Here take a taste, put your finger and get maybe three little grains. Such small bits have quite a big taste, which means if you cover the meat entirely you are just making the taste of the spice rather than bringing out more taste in the meat. More isn’t always better.”

She smiled at Terra reassuringly. She watched her put a few dashes this time and then only a few more and Eclipse nodded, she used the tenderizer on the meat once more to ground in the spices before taking them to the fire where she put them in the pan, where they started frying, though that wasn’t the effect she wanted, instead she put a little water underneath them, so they could so it up as they cooked, but not much. there wasn’t even an inch maybe a tablespoon to cover the bottom and then she covered the dish up so that they could bake in a way. It wasn’t the same as having an oven, but it worked nonetheless. She sat back and went to cut up the carrots and tomatoes. She would add the carrots in with the meat, though the tomatoes could be eaten whenever. They were a good addition to eat with the meat, but that wa all preference.

“It shouldn’t take too long to cook, I really am sorry I did that.”

She gave Terra an apologetic look. She was sure Terra would understand when she had a taste of a few grains of oregano, which was a very very strong spice indeed. She knew it was used in many cold cut sandwiches in human days, but they did not do that these days and it tasted just as good on freshly cooked meat.
