Totorak's Swirl Brownies

1 Cream Cheese
1 Salted Butter
1 Sunset Wheat Flour
2 Bubble Chocolate
1 Chicken Egg
2 Maple Sugar

Mix Cream Cheese and 1 Maple Sugar until it has a creamy texture
Mix together 2 Bubble Chocolate, Sunset Wheat Flour, Chicken Egg, 1 Maple Sugar, and Salted Butter
Swirl Cream Cheese/Maple Sugar mixture into the Chocolate

Cook it until you're sure that you won't contract Salmonella and find out what Heaven tastes like. Alternatively, stick a knife in the chocolate part and if the chocolate doesn't stick to the knife... then you probably won't get Salmonella.



I guess a frying pan wasn't a good choice.

Lala-scout Cookies

Maki has free time right now because Maki is baking Maki's Lala-scout Cookies, so Maki will write down the recipe. Maki hopes Maki can sell the recipe for extra money. Maybe even under the table so Maki's fundraising scoutmaster doesn't get any. Note to Maki: Blot out the last sentence with permanent marker so the Internal Revenue Scouts learn nothing!

Ingredients
- A lot of rolanberries
- A little apkallu egg
- A little sunset wheat flour
- A lot of kukuru powder
- A little sweet cream
- A little mineral water
- A little love


Maki doesn't know how to measure things other than in lots and littles, but Maki thinks it's a pretty uniform standard, so there won't be any misunderstandings about how much of what to use.

Maki would like to point out that you should only add a little love. If you add a lot of love you won't have enough left to give to your boyfriend, and he will become jealous and think you're cheating on him with the cookies. Maki sometimes can't help Maki's self and cheats just a little, but Maki tries very hard to love cookies only so much. Only so much is equivalent to a little for those who need it in the basic metric system. Maki also has one more reason why you should only add a little love. Decrepit people are the foremost patrons of the Lala-scouts. (Maki just used big words! Maki's mommy will be so proud!) Decrepit people have discerning eyes! If they don't sense a little love there will be no sale! But if you use a lot of love they will want to become shuffleboard buddies! Maki can't stand shuffleboard! That's why Maki needs a boyfriend as an excuse! The only meaning in boyfriends is so you don't have to play shuffleboard! But Maki rambles.

Maki is in Limsa Lominsa's culinary guild known as the Bismarck. Maki...might not have permission to be here right now. In fact, Maki might have been labeled a filcher and not have permission at all, and may even be wearing a disguise right now.

Maki will start with the preparation Maki did. Maki will write what Maki did as an example. Do the same to make Lala-scout Cookies.

Maki first had to gather the materials written above under ingredients. Because Maki is such a good negotiator Maki got all the ingredients for free--not because Maki hired a Qiqirn to rob a local grocery store and then robbed the Qiqirn.

After that Maki cracked an apkallu egg into a bowl, and chopped up rolanberries and put them in the bowl, and Maki then dumped the rest of the things in the bowl, and Maki then mixed everything together to make the cookie dough, and this is not a run-on sentence because Maki is educated and would never write run-on sentences.

Maki unfortunately then had to come to the Bismarck because Maki apparently booked the only inn room without a range. Whenever Maki asks to transfer Maki is told the other rooms are filled. Maki suspects the innkeeper of something, though, because Maki can see a mysterious space with a boarded up wall, and the innkeeper also slipped in things like Maki should be quiet and not make anything in the room. Ever.

Maki secretly lets off Flares for revenge.

But Maki digresses again. Maki brought the cookie dough for Maki's Lala-scout Cookies to the Bismarck. Maki found a good furnace to use, but couldn't find any baking sheets. The iron bars of the grate were no good for setting the cookie dough, but Maki did see a dodo resting on the grate and being roasted, and Maki is pretty sure dodos take longer than cookies, so Maki decided to improvise. When no one was looking Maki grabbed the dodo to stuff balls of cookie dough inside, but Maki found all this bready stuff in the way. So Maki just pulled out all that tasteless-looking junk, tossed it into the fire, and placed the cookies inside.

And so Maki now waits writing this recipe... Maki wonders if it's been long enough yet.

Maki has been getting some smiles from a Roegadyn across the room. He suspects nothing of Maki, looking cute and innocent, scribbling on a piece of paper. Maki grins roguishly on the inside! Little does he know of the ban from this establishment the undisguised Maki has--... Um... Maki is totally not writing anything incriminating right now. Maki is just losing focus a little and not thinking quite straight.

It's because Maki is next to the nice, warm fire of the furnace. But Maki knows better than to fall asleep while cooking. Even if the fire is nice, and warm, and comfortable,
and cozy, and -~~---~----~--~~



...

Ah! Maki slept! And the dodo is gone! And...uh-oh, there's a commotion outside!

Abort mission! Abort mission! Maki is going to flee now!

______

Well, this is a few days later, and um... Well, Maki maybe botched the batch, and may or may not have caused the Bismarck to lose an entire star due to the dodo reaching a highly renowned food critic. But Maki knows better than to trust word on the street...and newspapers...and police records.

Maki thinks Maki made it pretty clear how to make Lala-scout Cookies. Even if Maki was kinda later apprehended that day and made to do dishes... Maki now realizes why a certain cunning Roegadyn who would have had dish duty kept smiling at Maki.
