un: wellcooked [backdated to april 7th]

Does anyone want chocolate chip cookies?

If yes, come to Maverick's little cafe.

That's true! There's nothing people love more than something freshly baked.

Or at least it seems that way.

It's the ultimate combination of enjoyable and attainable, that's why!

Also, usually it tastes really good.

So three great reasons!

Sounds like I need to get busy baking more, honestly.

Though I wouldn't want to compete.

I welcome some friendly competition!

It keeps me in top form.

In that case, it's on.

And the world shall know the winner by their treats!

I have to be honest, this seems like a competition where there aren't any losers, but I admire your spirit.

There's the winners, the super winners, and the people who get to eat all of it.

Who are probably still winners, depending on how you look at it.

The biggest winners of them all!

That makes it kind of sound like we're getting the short end of the stick.

But I don't mind putting in the effort to make other people happy, so I guess you're right. It's hard to beat getting free stuff.

It is, and especially free stuff that someone made just for them!

That's why cooking for people is so nice!

You've got a big heart, Nana. Not that I necessarily disagree, but I'll admit I haven't done a whole lot of cooking for people since getting here.

Well.

Except for these cookies. But you know what I mean.

[Nana makes a little "aw" sound. She's actually... a little touched to see that, and it takes her a second to write up her response.]

I'm glad you think so! ♥

I'm not sure if it's that big, but... a lot of it is that I like seeing others happy.

And you can always keep doing it!

It's definitely huge. Thinking it's not that big just makes it bigger. That's a fact.

And I probably will. I have to give you a run for your money, after all.

[Nana's glad this is a text message because she's a little red in the face.]

Adelaide, you're so nice! Maybe you're onto something.

And yes, you will have to work hard at it! But I think it will be well worth it. What is your favorite thing to cook?

[Nana pls]

I don't know about nice, but thank you.

And...it's really basic, but I do really enjoy making cookies. They're hard to beat, you know?

[HER EMBARRASSMENT SHALL REMAIN HER SECRET]

I do know what you mean! Cookies are so easy to enjoy because they're basic, I think. They're great for every occasion!

And there's a lot of variations and way to make them your own.

[Some day she'll learn of this...!!]

Man, yeah. There's a cookie for every sort of person and every sort of occasion.

Have you seen those cookies with the super fancy icing? I should make some of those.

[honestly if she ever compliments Nana in front of her, it might just happen...]

Yes!! I have made things like that before. Here, let me see. I made these for the Valentine's Dance, I think it was before you arrived...

[She sends a photo of a banana-shaped cookie. It has yellow icing, but then it's had sprinkles of different shades scattered over it to make it have a sheen like it's kind of rainbow-y, or maybe like a metal sheen.]
