Pinch Of Cinnamon 소설 & 이야기

"If you don't mind making me one." "Of course not." "You want cinnamon rolls too?" "Sugar? Uh, yeah? How could I say no?" Robin snorts. "Glad to see something hasn't changed." Five minutes later, Robin is warming up cinnamon rolls that someone named Addison baked for us. His broad back is facing me. I'm taking the time to check out his rear end, so nervous I have to make a conscious effort not to choke on my hot chocolate.

“And speaking of focus—why don’t we move to what you all came for? It’s time for the tasting. Our exclusive American launch edition!” The ripple of curiosity that went through the crowd was palpable. I gestured toward the tasting bar, where Donna, already prepped and eager, hopped into place. Her small figure was almost comical in the pristine gloves and apron we’d given her, but her grin lit up the entire space. “Tonight, we unveil Harvest Bloom Cinnamon Crunch,” I announced, the name Davina had chosen. “A playful, nostalgic flavor inspired by American mornings—warm cinnamon, sugar, and creamy milk chocolate.”

I touched the pillow beside my head and sniffed, hoping his scent was there. A touch of sandalwood and cinnamon. The deep, creamy sweetness with warm undertones of amber, leather, and wood from sandalwood always made me think of a place I used to go when my mother was still alive - church! While the cinnamon's warm, spicy, and sweet, with woody undertones scent, exuded a sense of coziness and comfort. A simple reminiscent of freshly baked goods and holiday festivities in my former human world where my mother usually worked. She was a baker in a famous bakery in our town.

"I wasn't sure what a pinch was, so I just placed three teaspoons." My eyes widened in surprise. "No wonder! A pinch is just a smidge." He clicked his tongue. "How was I supposed to know that? The only pinch I know is the one you inflict on other people. I didn't know that it's now a standard way of measuring salt!" I laughed and shook my head. "You could have just asked me." "But I wanted you to relax," he defended. "I know that I tired you out, so I wanted to do my best. But now, it's all ruined. I can't believe I can't even cook a simple pasta dish."

Soren says through gritted teeth, the color in his face returning. “Don’t get ahead of yourself,” I reply sharply, sucking in a breath. “Wine is better for this. Uhm, have Trinity in the kitchen fortify it with herbs and heat it just a bit. I’m thinking… cinnamon, nutmeg, and other warming spices. Heat it in iron.” “For the healing. For the blood,” Jane nods, likely recalling the rigorous potions curriculum every witch in Moonrise had to pass during our school years, including me. “Exactly.”

"Do you have brioche bread? Eggs? Heavy cream?" "I… yes, but…" "Vanilla extract. Cardamom. Cinnamon." I looked at her. "Please." She got everything with the energy of someone who had decided this was above her pay grade. I found a wide pan, got the butter going low and slow, started the custard mix in a bowl. Eggs, cream, vanilla, a pinch each of cardamom and cinnamon. My mother always said cardamom was the thing. “Everyone does cinnamon,” she used to say. “The cardamom is what makes it yours.”

But recently, it had smelt something that it couldn’t get out of its head. It had smelt like fresh peaches and cinnamon. It needed to have a bite of that.

I gesture to the items in her arms. She doesn't say anything, instead just places everything in front of her on my desk. I look over the bottles of spices. She has Cayenne powder, Turmeric, and even Cinnamon. "What are you planning on doing with those?" I ask, as my eye shifts upwards to continue watching what she's doing.

Smiling at the couple, she added, “We wanted to ask for your help, but both of you are a little too late for that. The cinnamon ones are done. Have a taste and let me know how it is.” Grimacing, Eugene uttered, “the two of you are cooking?”. Seraphine nodded and vocalized, “Yeah, just like the good old days.” Sharon picked up a freshly baked cookie, and the delicious scent wafted into her nostrils before she took a bite out of it. However, the taste was far from how it appeared to be, and she instantly spat it out in reaction. The cookie had a strong taste of cinnamon, indicating how more than necessary was added, and the salt too exceeded the limit.

Mrs Riccio asked. "I love it, Mrs Riccio. You are a great cook" Elliot complimented. Mrs Riccio gave a slight smile. "I read from somewhere online that cinnamon is actually a secret weapon for athletes. Something about helping your muscles recover faster and keeping your blood sugar from spiking. Apparently, it also helps your body turn carbs into energy instead of just storing them. I've been giving Jade a lot of cinnamon too." she said. "Cinnamon is actually my best fruit." Elliot said, slowly sipping his hot tea made out of cinnamon barks.
