It wasn’t…quite the Sabbath. But given the hour it was getting closer than Abe was usually comfortable with. However, it was summer, which meant the days lasted longer and there was a longer time to wait before sunset. Besides, he tended not to practice with anyone anymore, so there was no rush to get to the temple. Although in the interests of ever remarrying, perhaps he--
No. He was better as an old widower. He’d leave it alone from there. He was going to turn fifty this year. He knew he technically wasn’t that old, especially in this town where most men seemed to be his age or older, but he could definitely feel it.
He’d met Ferris…oh, he couldn’t remember. Probably ordering supplies or something along those lines. But the men had gotten to chatting, one professional cook to another, and Ferris had asked about traditional foods. Well, they were Abe’s specialty and one of his favorite things to make, so he’d offered to have the other man come to his kitchen to learn. It was around three o’clock, before the dinner rush, so there was only one other cook there, and he looked…bored. Abe told him to get some of the easier to prepare and preserve meals ready, and then got out the ingredients required. He was there in the kitchen, sleeves of his dark red top rolled back and flour on his black slacks, when Ferris entered. He offered the man a grin.
“Glad you found it back here,” he said. “Sometimes it can get a little confusing. Now what did you want to cook? I got a little bit of everything here for anything else you’d like to try, too. I keep my kitchen well-stocked.” As Abe could and did decide the menu, he made sure it wasn’t difficult to change things up.
((hope this is okay!))
