[a small smile at her obvious discomfort, though it's masked by his response to her inexperience in a kitchen.]

[a clean apron is wrapped around his waist and he washes his hands before he begins handling any food. he places a large cast iron skillet on the stove, which he turns on a medium heat setting. another pan is taken out, too, for later. he talks as he preps, making his way around the kitchen and organizing his workspace with the chicken, eggs, tomato, dill, sour cream (the portion is scooped into a small glass bowl and the container is returned to the fridge), butter, and a small block of parmesan cheese.]
Usually this recipe calls for liver, but I'll be substituting it with chicken breast. I don't quite trust the butcher here and it doesn't seem like they'll be providing the cuts of meat I prefer. I'll have to source it myself next time.
[get Hannibal in the kitchen and it's one of the places he's most comfortable. his conversation and ease reflects that. he grates the cheese as he continues,]
That painting you were admiring was done by Frederick William Hulme. He was an English landscape painter and illustrator in the 1800s. He illustrated several books, including ones written by Edgar Allen Poe and S.C. Hall. [a quick glance up from grating,] Are you familiar with those authors?
