Arriving back at his estate, Marcus quickly located Lilia and the two of them told the maids that were on duty to take the night off as they planned on cooking together.
"Okay so what do want to make Lilia, my skills at cooking have gotten pretty good so I am confident in making sothing delicious."
Lilia began pondering for a few monts trying to co up with what she wanted to eat when she rembered one ti that her father had purchased a goat from the nearby village and wanted to have that again.
"So, do you rember the ti that we all ate goat together a few years ago after the community got lucky and made a large sum of money since so noble needed a bunch of lumber to repair their town after it had caught fire. If we could have sothing like that, that would be my choice."
Racking the mories he had gotten from Irene, it took Marcus around a minute to locate the specific mory that Lilia was talking about.
"Ah yeah I can rember that ti, the goat certainly did taste good, along with the roasted wild nuts and the dley of vegetables. Yeah, I can make sothing using goat at as its main ingredient though it will probably be a bit different than what we had before."
With the central ingredient they were going to be using decided, Marcus went over to the magical fridge that was set up in the kitchen and selected a pri cut of goat at while Lilia began working on making fresh bread.
Taking out the cut of goat at he had selected, Marcus began to tenderize it, hitting it over and over with a small tal hamr almost feeling like he was back in the forge.
Once he had finished tenderizing the at, Marcus rubbed in a number of unique spices to the world of Mirrion that were not found on Earth in order to get rid of the gay sll and taste of the goat.
When that was done, he went on to making a curry like marinade which he soaked the at in.
'Now I need to let that sit for around thirty minutes, so in that ti I can prepare the vegetables.'
Pulling out a number of vegetables, so that were similar to their counterparts on Earth like carrots and potatoes, and so that were particularly alien.
Cutting up a vegetable that looked like a durian but with much longer spikes and a thinner body, Marcus removed the tips of the spikes before cutting them away from the body of the vegetable and setting them aside.
'To think that after boiling these spines they would beco soft and delicious, this world certainly has so oddities to it but at least it never gets dull.'
Continuing to happily prepare the vegetables, thirty minutes soon passed, and Marcus went over to the goat that had been marinating and put it onto a pan before sliding it into one of the house's ovens which had been set to a low heat.
With his preparations completed Marcus looked over to Lilia who was just finishing up on preparing the bread and was getting ready to put it into one of the other ovens.
"Now that we have finished that up let us get started on making dessert, I have sothing special planed that you cannot normally get."
Marcus then pulled out a number of ingredients including, a large block of ice.
"We are going to make ice cream but not any of the normal flavors from around here. I have managed to procure a special ingredient to make it even better."
Lilia look at Marcus with srized eyes, she had eaten ice cream a few tis before with so of her noble friends, and each ti it had been delicious.
However, Marcus saying he had aa secret ingredient only got Lilia even more enthralled as she imagined sothing even tastier that what she had already had.
With a smug smile on his face, Marcus pulled out his secret weapon for making tastier ice cream, chocolate.
Yes, Marcus had managed to procure chocolate which was quite rare in the Kingdom of Borealia and could only be procured from rchants on another continent.
It had cost him a decent sum, especially since it was winter but for the sweet taste of chocolate Marcus was willing to shell out a few dozen gold coins.
"Now then let us get the ice cream prepared and then we will put it in the specially made freezer I recently obtained."
At that Marcus pulled out a small freezer from his item box which most people in this world would not use because of the extre amount of mana it took to power it.
However, when it ca to creature comforts if he could obtain them, Marcus wanted to have them.
After the two of them finished preparing the ice cream and letting it sit in the freezer to solidify, Marcus went back to check on the goat flipping it over and letting it slowly cook to break down the tendons in the at and keep it from becoming too tough.
Once he had finished that, Marcus began cooking the vegetables he had prepared earlier to go with the al.
Throwing them onto skewers and putting so into a soup, Marcus began making the side dishes for their last al together before Lilia went back to school.
Ti continued to go by and soon each of the items that Marcus and Lilia were cooking were ready, and pulling the goat out last they were ready for dinner.
The two of them then took their now prepared al to the dining room where they began eating the feast they had prepared.
Starting with the vegetable soup he had made; Marcus ate the deliciously cooked vegetables that had soaked up the flavors of the broth.
After that he dunked in so of the bread Lilia had made eating it after it had soaked up the flavors of the soup.
'Pretty good I have to say since getting my cooking skill to level three and taking so lessons from Clara and the other maids, I have beco pretty proficient with cooking. And it looks like Lilia is enjoying the al as well seeing the way she is inhaling the food. Though I guess she is hitting her growth spurt since she has gotten around half an inch taller in just a couple of months.'
While Marcus was looking at Lilia who currently had her face stuffed with the goat at he had tediously prepared, she quickly looked up and gave him a bright smile.
Continuing with his al, Marcus finally got around to the main course eating the goat at he had cooked.
Tasting the juicy flavor as the at entered his mouth, Marcus could not help but shove a bunch in his mouth one after the other enjoying the taste.
However, soon between the two of them they had eaten most of the food that had been prepared.
But this was not the end as Marcus went into the kitchen and brought back with him the chocolate ice cream they had prepared.
Passing out a cup of the frozen treat to Lilia, Marcus beckoned her to eat first wanting to see her reaction to the first-ti eating chocolate ice cream.
Watching as Lilia put a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth, Marcus saw as her eyes went wide with shock before an expression of delight ca over her face.
Lilia then began to eat more of the ice cream in quick succession until she stopped abruptly and held her head in pain.
Not able to stifle his amusent, Marcus began laughing out loud seeing Lilia experience a brain freeze for the first ti.
Lilia with a pout looked over at Marcus with slightly angry eyes and said, "Did you add sothing in here that would cause my head to hurt as so kind of practical joke."
Still laughing but calming himself down since he saw that Lilia was getting upset Marcus said while still slightly chuckling, "No I did not put anything in it to cause you a headache that is just what happens when you eat sothing cold too quickly and it is called a brain freeze. I know it tastes good, but you need to pace yourself or you will continue to get that sharp feeling in your head."
Lilia realizing that the discomfort she felt was because of her hasty eating blushed in embarrassnt before sticking the spoon back in her mouth and eating the chocolate ice cream much slower.
After that Marcus began eating his own serving of chocolate ice cream happy to be able to taste it again even in another world.
Soon the two of them finished up dessert and began cleaning up the ss they had made in the kitchen. Except halfway through they got into a water fight where the two of them began throwing the soapy water in the sink at each other, until Marcus escalated things and sent a small wave at Lilia drenching the entire area.
Seeing Lilia sprawled out on the floor covered in water, the two of them began laughing before Clara ca in to investigate the ruckus and looked at the two of them with a fretful expression.
She then told them both to go take a warm bath before they caught a cold and that she and the other maids would clean up the kitchen.
Relenting after a bit, both Lilia and Marcus went upstairs and got into the house's large bath and soaked away in the warm water.
When they had finished warming up and getting clean, they both went to Marcus' room where the to of them were going to have a sleep over.
Spending a good portion of the night making plans for Lilia's next break in three months, the two made sure to set aside so ti for a training trip so that Lilia could keep up with the other prodigies within the academy.
However, soon fatigue began to take Lilia and the two of them decided to call it a night crawling into bed and falling into a peaceful sleep.
