Poison Mushroom Cookie X Onion Cookie Novels & Stories

"Until then. Now, how about we find something to distract ourselves with? Anything but more mysteries, okay?" "Speaking of baking disasters, let me tell you about the time I attempted to bake cookies. It always looked so good on TV and when my mom made it. So I decided to try it, and maybe, just maybe, prove my mom wrong—show her that I wasn't such a disaster in the kitchen." Astrid chuckles. Phoenix leans in with interest, ready for a good laugh. "Oh, this I have to hear." "So, there I was, armed with flour, sugar. Long story short, those cookies were more suited for building a house than eating and completely uneatable and maybe a bit burnt!" Astrid burst into laughter, recalling the rock-

I gasp, unable to believe what I’m tasting. “This is achtopa-tori, also called the ‘lying cook,’” the handsome man explains cryptically. “It’s a type of microscopic fungus that can deceive your brain and your taste buds. You imagine some food you once tried, something your brain still remembers the taste of. These fungi activate the memory cell that stores that flavor and let your brain recreate it when consuming this substance. Normally, I don’t eat mushrooms—they make my whole body itch like crazy—but these ones don’t trigger my allergies.” “Incredible,” I breathe out, amazed, and scoop some of that ‘cook’ myself, imagining cheesy pizza.

“Charlie is so damn lucky,” Jasper added. “You know what the best part is?” Taylor shared. “I used almond flour for these. They’re gluten-free, lower in carbohydrates, higher in healthy fats and fiber, and packed with nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium.” “Damn!” Freya remarked. “Lucky Charlie gets to eat Taylor’s food all the time.” “Well, we can forget about the cookies for now—I mean, with Taylor now officially accepted as Charlie’s boyfriend, we can have more cookies!” Riley exclaimed, making everyone laugh. Only Charlie’s father still looked heartbroken over the pistachio chocolate cookies.

And… and… on top of all that was the major commitment she was making to a large, expensive plate of food that she might not even like. But this way Cole got to sit there and enjoy a candlelit Aiden, and the food took care of itself: arriving as part of what seemed to be an endless parade of exciting nibbles. Some of which, she’d admit, were slightly challenging for a middle-class boy who grew up in the middle of nowhere, but she quickly got swept up in the drama of never quite knowing what was going to turn up next. They had savory Oreos, called Storeos, made with squid ink and eel mousse, and crispy cod skin with cod roe emulsion, and black pudding topped with pineapple. And that was before

Madeleine announced, padding barefoot back into the room with a ceramic tray balanced in her hands, her alpaca socks were now gone. Three mugs of chamomile tea and a little plate stacked with what looked like cookies, pale, crumbly things dotted with nuts and seeds. Her eyes flicked between me and Vince, her smile as soft as ever, “I didn’t know if you were hungry, Vincenzo, but it’s chamomile. And vegan cookies, oat flour, almond butter, flaxseed, no dairy, no eggs. I make them all the time for my friends,” she said.

The scent reached me immediately—honey, milk, and butter, with a faint bitter note lurking beneath the sweetness. The poisoned cookie had supposedly been chosen specifically for Marrek. So why was another one here? Something wasn't adding up. I found a physician at once and held out the cookie. "Test this." His eyes widened. "My Luna—" "Now." The single word left no room for argument. Not long after, he returned. His face had gone pale. "This cookie was poisoned too," he said quietly. "With the exact same toxin." A cold realization swept through me. It hadn't been one poisoned cookie.

Nobody mentioned it and it all just makes me suspicious but I’d prefer if we all forgot about it altogether. “Fine.” He stared at the basket with suspicion. “What flavour?” I picked out the worst ingredients ever. I added raisins, asparagus and garlic, the most disgusting thing I can think of after all, I plan to elicit disgust in him. I felt pretty bad for doing this but I have to if I want to get enough for my application. “It’s a surprise.” I tucked my hands beneath my thighs to stop myself from actually wanting to dive and slap the cookie away from his mouth but I was curious of how he’d react.Would he spit it out? Gag? Maybe throw me out of his house?

Leon shook his head and refused the offering. Though the Detox paste worked better on poison made with Jimsonweed or aconite, Leon had reason to believe that an infamous criminal like the Poisonwielder would not use ordinary ingredients such as Jimsonweed and aconite. Hence, Leon felt more confident in the Essential Detox Pills he produced.

I settled beside her, close enough to catch the faint scent of her shampoo…something floral and clean that made my pulse quicken despite the domestic tranquility of the moment. "So," I said to Caesar, who was watching me with curious eyes, "what other adventures have this muffin had?" "Oh!" Caesar perked up immediately. "One time he met a cookie who was sad because nobody wanted to eat him!" "Why didn't anyone want to eat the cookie?" I asked, genuinely curious now. "Because he was shaped funny," Caesar explained with the gravity of someone sharing state secrets. "Like a squiggly line instead of a circle." "That's terrible," I said seriously. "What did the muffin do?"

she laughed when she dropped him back. “But it will taste better that way, mama,” Milo whined, while attempting to put his chips into the bowl. By the time the cookies were placed in the oven, the kitchen looked like a battlefield, and Elle knew that Leo was going to convulse when he came back. When the cookies finally came out, they looked…not like cookies. Whatever it was that was on the tray was slightly burnt, with weird shapes, but the kids clapped proudly anyway, not caring that it wasn’t the shape of their regular cookies.
