Novelas y relatos de Macaroni Gratin

I kept my appreciation a little quieter. Dessert was something called Kremsnite. The server explained it was a traditional Croatian treat made with Chantilly cream, vanilla custard, and layers of puff pastry. It was wonderful. The timing had been worked out perfectly, the final course arrived just as the boat swung westward to begin heading back, giving everyone on deck an unobstructed view of the sunset. Lyanna slid her hand across the table and wrapped it around mine. "Thank you, Leo. This was incredible."

I started to ask. “Poutine? Don’t worry, I already asked for that. I also asked them to make sure there would be plenty of pistachio cannoli.” Darren cut me off with a laugh. “Poutine? The Canadian patate fritte dish that’s smothered in brown gravy and topped with curds of cheese?” Alexander furrowed his brow. “Exactly. Don’t question pregnancy cravings.” I shrugged as I hopped off the bed, ready to go. “Are you going to be okay to leave?” André questioned as Alexander was a little unsteady as he stood up.

So’s the peanut, if the sudden activity in my stomach is any indication. “I do, indeed,” Grayson concurs. “Lobster, celery, scallions, chives, seasonings and a special, light dressing stuffed into mini brioche rolls. Crab Rangoon. And lox on bagel slivers with a rich cream sauce and caviar.” “Jesus,” I murmur as my mouth waters. Nick’s head is still bent to mine and he says, “I think I have some competition for your affection.” Grayson hears him and scoffs, good-naturedly.

That wasn’t so bad. “Is that all?” I asked, double-checking. “Nope,” she responded, popping the “p” for emphasis. “I want the macaroni to be plain, and the cheese should be melted separately. They should be in different bowls. The bacon should be fried in olive oil, and it needs to be crispy.” I nodded quickly, making a mental note. “You got it. Anything else?” “Yes…” she began, her voice laced with authority. “I want a smoothie too. You should make that first, before the food.”

“No I’m not hungry. I was working on the recipe like you said. I’ve come up with something mouth watering. It’s called Galatopita.” Alora frowned. “Galato… what?” Eleni smiled for the first time since her troubles began. “Galatopita. It’s a Greek custard pie. Creamy in the middle and crisp on the outside, with lemon zest and cinnamon. You will love it.” “Sounds good. Do you think it can win a prize in a baking competition?” “Maybe, I can’t say. Why? What are you planning?” Eleni asked narrowing her eyes. “A way to get you out of this mess.”
