†002 - Definitely not allergic to garlic.

[bucuresti]

[Mihail decided that he needed to get around to cooking something. Back at home, this time of year yields some of the best food his country has to offer. Lucky for him, he's got the blessing of being a pretty decent cook. However, this only really applies to food from his region (Romanian food is more like Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, and German food combined) so things like hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, and pizza aren't exactly within his...skills.

So he's going at making any number of things, specifically mamaliga (Romanian "peasant" cornbread that goes great with sour cream), frigarui (really spiced up kebabs), and of all things, baklava. There seems to be a cloud of garlic powder and any number of spices floating around him, and there's a gratuitous amount of pork, among other meat. Romanians like their meat, y'know.

This is more like stress relief for him, other than just traditional winter cooking time. He hasn't had the best month and he's just gotten over being sick for the umpteenth time, so cooking seems like an awesome stress reliever.

He's more than willing to share (his inner Romanian grandma will probably say you look too skinny and then shove some mamaliga in your mouth), but there is a degree of acquired taste to this stuff, except maybe the baklava.]

It is not off Gypsy, it is perfectly fine. You nearly killed me with this. {And despite that statement, the Russian keeps eating.}

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

You don't look dead. What a shame.

[moskva-prince.livejournal.com]

Luckily I am not; I suppose it will take more then bad food to do such a thing, da?

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

I could say the same of your food.

[moskva-prince.livejournal.com]

{He smiles.}

So what have you been up to; I haven't seen you around much.

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

I've been getting over being sick again. Otherwise, I've been around. []

[moskva-prince.livejournal.com]

That is very unfortunate, though I would think that since you are sick, one would stay in their room..
But hey, everyone has their ways of treating their sicknesses. Though I think that method is pretty backwards.

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

Fresh air, I guess. I am quite boring, I would think. []

{He chuckles, getting up from the table. He'll do that thing that he does to freak people out. He'll get uncomfortably close to the capital; and will delicately run his fingers through the other's hair.}

Not boring at all...very interesting.

{he shrugs, standing his ground.}
Nothing~

What did I make you feel uncomfortable? {note: He doesn't believe in personal space.}

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

I am not going to lie, but yes. That was very uncomfortable.

[moskva-prince.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll remember that in the future.
DO you have something to drink, like wine or something?

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do. I have wine, mead, abs--[] ...Uh, and beer.

[moskva-prince.livejournal.com]

Umm...wine will do just fine.
I haven't had that in ages~

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

There. Enjoy.

{Swirling the glass a bit, he takes a modest sip.}

Thank you, and this is really good~

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

{The Romanian fed him, he has to be nice to him now.}

Say, do you have any sweets as well?

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

Yes, I just made some baklava. []

[moskva-prince.livejournal.com]

{He nods, taking a seat at the table again.}

Your cooking isn't half bad, Mihail.

[cenusa-lumina.livejournal.com]

Well, thank you, Dimitri. []

[moskva-prince.livejournal.com]

{He chuckles, taking another sip of wine and digging in. This is delicious, almost better than Chernobyl's donuts! Ha makes a happy noise with each bite.}

{Taking another sip of wine, he takes a final bite.}

прелестный...may I have some more?

{ooc:*delicious}
