No time-outs. I'll just leave, and then you'll have to do all this on your own.
[ Tech Boy really needs an adult with adult tastes in his life, but his reliance on junk food and fast food ironically stems from the overabundance of cuisine options. The convenience of the crap he eats is made possible only because of a national surplus, cheap ingredients, and really aggressive chain restaurants. It's the result of a god's lifetime of not having enough free time to step away from his work to take (let along prepare) a proper meal. He likes real food, but if it can't be delivered fresh, picked up in a drive-through, or tossed on a baking sheet in he oven, he can't slow down long enough to bother. Simply watching K's gathering of ingredients is more time than he's spent in a kitchen in decades.
He does help without much comment, allowing K to climb on him as needed and accepting handed items to place them on the counter top. ]
Anything can be a meal if you're really fucking dedicated to the concept and willing to overlook some nutritional components.
[ K doesn't strike TB as the type to eat cookies and milk as a meal substitute, but if he's not already wise to the idea, he'll introduce K to the concept of a classic American breakfast for dinner. Damn, he should have led with that idea. Maybe it'll make a nice surprise later.
What isn't a surprise is Tech Boy's answer to this question. ] No, I can't honestly say I've cooked a day in my life. Might be able to boil water though. And I can follow instructions.
