Chapter 10

“Where on earth did you find that?” Ben asked.

“A coworker’s daughter made it, but we can’t keep it. It’s just borrowed,” Colton said, lighting the candles. This didn’t seem to dampen Ben’s mood. “I hope that beer’s out of your taste buds. I have drinks paired with every course.”

“Wow, Cole,” Ben said, so completely inelegantly Colton couldn’t help but smile as he poured wine.

“First course is an ostrich egg crepe filled with assorted mushrooms not grown on earth, sautéed with a butter and dill sauce.”

Ben waited for Colton to join him at the table before taking a bite.

“Holy fuck,” he said. “This is…I forgot how good you were. Are. Damn.” He had another bite and made a sound of pleasure.

“Well, I can tell what I should tweak,” Colton said after a bite. He hadn’t had a chance to develop the recipes at all since he’d only been able to buy enough for the one meal. It was tasty, yes, but not impressive.
