Chapter 13 SPECIAL FOOD

Even though it is now the rainy season, many people still want food with a cold impression. Now Steve serves a typical Dutch food.

BOERENKOOLSTAMPPOT is his name, yes, his name is very long, this is food from the country where he lives and studies. His dazzling appearance made Sonia amazed that she couldn't believe the man in front of her could apparently cook.

Although the Netherlands is indeed famous for its various soups, this time Steve served food that was far from that impression.

Not only Soup is a typical Dutch food. There is also delicious Dutch food with a simpler presentation. The food is Boerenkoolstamppot. This dish is one of the oldest and most popular Dutch dishes. Since 1661, Boerenkoolstamppot has become known to people throughout the Netherlands. The basic ingredient of this dish is a typical Dutch cabbage called Kale, which is then mixed with mashed potatoes. This dish is best served with gravy, mustard, and Rookworst sausage. One of the things that makes this food so popular is because potatoes are a popular ingredient that is often used by Dutch people as food. Therefore, Boerenkoolstamppot contains a lot of carbohydrates, so it is a popular food in winter.

Sonia tasted it right away, and Steve crossed his arms waiting for a comment. "Ah, amazing! Can my restaurant include this in our new menu which incidentally is Italian cuisine because Jimmy is the master of the kitchen?'' But FOODWORLD'S does not deny that it often adds new menus.

When they were chatting Jimmy called Sonia, and told her that her father was coming, she immediately took off her Chef's clothes and went over to her father.

"Father?" said Sonia, approaching a middle-aged man in a Dormeuil Vanquish II suit, which added to his prestige and made him more pleasing to the eye.

The Dormeuil Vanquish II suit is made of 6 types of rare premium quality fabrics from France and England. Namely Fifteen Point Eight, Royal Qivuik, Ambassador, Vanquish II, Dorsilk and Kirgzy White. The most expensive suit in the world is sold for $100,000 or equivalent to Rp. 1,400,000,000.

Of course she definitely wears it for a formal event. "So handsome, I miss you Daddy!" Sonia's cheerful voice isn't made up, it's certain that her father's favorite girl will always be sweet.

"We rarely see each other because father is also often abroad!" replied his father kindly, after hugging his daughter.

"This father is Steve, Edward's brother, he has just returned from the Netherlands a month ago"

"Ah, Dad actually met your sister-in-law compared to your husband, you guys haven't been home even after getting married" Hearing the story of Sonia's father, he wanted to complain, let alone to meet him, Edward didn't give it to him when he was making out because he was too busy.

But Sonia didn't want to talk about it. "Edward is also busy right now in Australia" explained Sonia.

Steve greeted his brother-in-law's father. "Where did you go, it's neat like this?" Sonia asked not forgetting to praise her father's good looks too.

"Dad went to a friend's son's wedding, do you look handsome?"

"Of course very handsome father is the most handsome man in the world, you know that very well"

Her father really liked it when his daughter praised him, Sonia always had an honest impression in every word he said. "Oh, you didn't book your ticket today?" his father asked.

"What ticket?"

Sonia was confused. "Today there is a Ballet event, George the organizer!" Hearing the words of her father, Sonia almost lost consciousness, how could she miss the event she had been waiting for to see.

The show, led by George Balanchine, founder of the New York City Ballet, attracted thousands of spectators indeed, of course because it was so popular.

Sonia had not booked a ticket and it made her panic, but her father immediately called an Eman to provide seats for two people, Sonia and Steve, he did not allow his daughter to go alone among the thousands of people.

Steve didn't mind that either. And willing to take Sonia. They went home for a while and immediately changed clothes, Sonia was surprised because Steve came out with the same clothes as her. Sonia's red shirt showed a bit of her cleavage but kept it closed to the bottom area.

When they arrived at the grand event, not only the New Yorkers were present, but the nobles from Italy as well.

How not, who is not impressed to see the beautiful dance called ballet. Ballet begins with the Italian balletto.

The word ballet comes from a term meaning "to dance!"

The balletto was used to entertain guests at weddings before being brought to France by Catherine de' Medici when she became Queen of France. It would later be called "ballet" in French and opera-ballet by Lully and Molière.

Many kings and nobles would also commission ballet dancers for special occasions. In fact, the Ballet Comique de la Reine was commissioned to celebrate the wedding of Prince Joyeuse and Queen Louise of Lorraine's sister, Marguerite de Vaudemont.

While ballet's origins have its roots in the Renaissance in Italy, it was French and Russian influences that made it a dance of such exalted position.

Until now, a ballet dancer had to take lessons and the like to become a great dancer who would perform at grand and lavish events attended by nobles and state officials.

Sonia was very enthusiastic as was Steve where she saw him for the first time. They watched until the end and Sonia continued to praise the beauty of the ballet dancers on the way home.

"Wasn't that great, they fly like they have wings!" Sonia whispered to Steve as soon as she entered the house.

"Sons!" Steve called making him turn around then.

"What?"

Steve drew closer to him. Sonia was instantly nervous. "Can I see you dance ballet?" Steve asked then.

Sonia looked into Steve's eyes, then he smiled and showed a row of white teeth. "Of course, come on!" Sonia pulled Steve's hand towards his studio.

He immediately changed clothes in a small room in the studio. Dear Life- Anthony Hamilton the song started playing as soon as Sonia got dressed and started dancing with a smile, she kept smiling the whole time. Steve was of course very mesmerized even to the very last second.

Once finished Sonia intends to change her clothes. In that studio room. "Why is the shirt small? does it expand when you wear it?" Steve suddenly startled Sonia, while showing the thing he asked.

"Ah that, I always dreamed of having twin daughters and would teach her ballet I bought it when I first got married after Edward arranged things in this studio"

"Should we make the beautiful babies you desire?" Steve closed the curtains where Sonia was going to change and immediately ambushed her.

They kissed again there and still wearing her ballet clothes Sonia sat on Steve's lap, but only kissed but it was a little hot because they were both passionate.
