No big winners today. Narvin woulda taken all of it, but he's not into currency.
D'amico, you want the game, you got it. Otherwise, it's canceled on account of fuck this bullshit, I'm not going to have time.
[Private to the kitchen shift wardens.]
Hey, I've got a favor to ask.
[Private to Ned.]
I see right, you're doing baking classes for Pinkman's cash?
[Filtered to Prefect - added later after long thought]
You were right. It could be worse. And I find I'm actually grateful for how much it wasn't. For every warden, every time, who made the choice not to go corrupt.
I'm not pleased about this. I don't like being grateful. But it doesn't change that a lot of you people ... exceeded my expectations.
[The stilted wording is more because he doesn't know how to verbalize this and is so vastly uncomfortable, but today's a good day to get it out there so he can get all of his civilization over with in one post and not have to deal with it afterwards.]

You know what a protein waffle is? It's a low-grade, low-cost way to keep a prisoner alive. The minimum nutritional standards, carbohydrates-fat-protein, compressed into something about the consistency of particleboard. You can live on them indefinitely.
Tasty. I've probably eaten about my body weight in that over my lifetime. Somehow I think I can do without them for a while longer.
But it got me thinking.
What do you eat when you ain't feeling entirely put together? Comfort food, cultural shit like that. Recipe would be a bonus.
Disclaimer, obviously, about the kitchen staff being limited, but we can start putting things together. We aren't busted down to protein waffles yet.

Date: 2013-03-24 09:23 pm (UTC)I've been working in the kitchen since my first stint as an inmate, I'm currently pulling double shifts. I've gotten cooking lessons from a gourmet cook. He's not a baker, though.
But nah. I'm not kitchen challenged.
...something that came up with me and Lecter, my sense of taste isn't quite human. Things you people think are sweet don't really register, I've been told that if I eat sweet I put way too much sugar in just to taste it, so I'm not the easiest student.
[Piemaker Filter]
Date: 2013-03-24 09:26 pm (UTC)That...might be a challenge. I've never cooked for self-described non-humans. Do you want to eat what you make or do you want to serve it to other people? Because we could do both. Both isn't a bad idea.

It's mostly for the rest of the barge. Because I've been in the kind of prison where you eat protein waffles, and I'm not real eager to see this place turn into one of them. Want to start offering more choices at dinner.
I'm not trying to cut into your market, but I want to keep people feeling like they have something left besides narrow halls and cell doors.
[Piemaker Filter]
Date: 2013-03-24 09:33 pm (UTC)I don't have a market. I have a kitchen and I have hungry people and I have you and now we have each other and that should be enough. If you're working double shifts it's unfair for me to pile on more work for you to do.
Help me clean up the kitchen afterwards and deliver food to those who don't come out or need a tiny slice of home and we'll call it even. No power grabs necessary.

Date: 2013-03-24 09:37 pm (UTC)[He goes serious for a second.]
You can charge for your shit, I don't like this experiment Pinkman's running but I'm not actually trying to stop it.
But I'm going to be working for inmates who aren't doing the cash thing, though. Wardens, too, fine, but... I'm not the only one who's feeling like they're back in slam again. A real, lockdown type prison. Luxuries-- fresh food-- they can fight that feeling. I feel it's necessary right now.
[Piemaker Filter]
Date: 2013-03-24 09:40 pm (UTC)I've been in prison twice. Not very long, but I.
I know I would not have minded fresh baked food to fight through it. Fuel for the fire. So to speak.
We'll decide what to do about charging later on. It's less important than helping to teach you.

Date: 2013-03-24 09:43 pm (UTC)You? Prison?
I can't say I'd have guessed.
[Piemaker Filter]
Date: 2013-03-24 09:44 pm (UTC)Technically one was just the county lock-up at a sheriff's office but I count it because I was nine and when you're nine every prison is terrifying.
[Piemaker Filter]
Date: 2013-03-24 09:46 pm (UTC)You actually do something, or was it just... [He gives a little shrug that indicates that accidents happen, bureaucracy is corrupt, innocent people die in prison every day.]
Piemaker Filter]
Date: 2013-03-24 10:11 pm (UTC)Terrible things I did I was never locked up for and the things they locked me up for, I never did. Somewhere there's a horrible cosmic balancing scale.

Date: 2013-03-24 10:13 pm (UTC)[His eyebrow lofts at 'terrible things I did', but-- barge. He won't write this guy off as delusional. Add him to 'possibly dangerous.']
I have a rap sheet longer than your arm.
[Just FYI]
[Piemaker Filter]
Date: 2013-03-24 10:15 pm (UTC)Also, you've never seen my arm. I could have a shrunken, shriveled arm the size of a potato.

Date: 2013-03-24 10:17 pm (UTC)Murder, manslaughter, and flight from justice are the big ones. I don't like being in prison. I've gone to lengths to get out of prison.
...also a couple counts grand theft spacefaring vehicle.

Date: 2013-03-24 10:20 pm (UTC)And if you're that skittish about county lockup, let's get it out of the way now and not when we're trying to make food.
[Piemaker Filter]
Date: 2013-03-24 10:22 pm (UTC)I'm not skittish.
...I am skittish, but I've been to the real prison once on suspected murder I didn't commit and was never suspected for murder and manslaughter I did commit.
I would like to stress that A, I do not make this a regular habit and B, most of what I do I do to keep my girlfriend, whom I love, safe.
Re: [Piemaker Filter]
Date: 2013-03-24 10:24 pm (UTC)And obviously you don't have to justify yourself to me.
When do you wanna start lessons? I do lunch and dinner shift, so any time that isn't then.
[Piemaker Filter]
Date: 2013-03-24 10:25 pm (UTC)I like to bake best early in the morning.
How, um.
How early is early for you?

Date: 2013-03-24 10:31 pm (UTC)0500. No. That's. That's perfect.
I promise I'll make it interesting.
[Piemaker Filter]
Date: 2013-03-24 10:32 pm (UTC)Don't necessarily need interesting. Just effective.
[He taps his goggles, a little salute.] I'll see you then.
[Piemaker Filter]
Date: 2013-03-24 10:36 pm (UTC)Right. See you...then.
Thank you.
