130 Chapter 130 – Hopes and dreams

Year 3, Winter, First Month, Third Week.

“Hey, old man. Help me take this out of the grilling stone… I still hate Winter, even though we don’t have to face the cold and snow, short days are just annoying… Look at this fine and thick earth steak, I almost over-grilled it because I can barely see it by the firelight… If this keeps happening they might start calling me the tough steak granny, instead of steak granny… Yesterday, I even heard someone saying that I have become too old to cook…”

The woman’s husband could only roll his eyes and take the steaks out of the griller faster to prevent them from over-cooking. Earth meat grilling was a very delicate preparation, one had to pay attention to the stone’s temperature, the meat’s color, how much fat was used and also the sizzling noise, which had tiny differences for every beast and meat cut.
