Chapter 681  A LITTLE CELEBRATORY DINNER (I)

WHEN they arrived at Astrid's apartment, he went straight to the kitchen to start preparing dinner. Kiran followed and offered to help, so Astrid handed him a bowl of vegetables to wash. The sound of running water and the steady chop of a knife filled the space as they worked. Once Kiran was done, Astrid gave him a small smile and told him to just relax. Although he looked reluctant, he didn't argue and pulled out a chair at the kitchen table, settling in to watch as Astrid worked. And soon, the scent of simmering spices filled the air.

Astrid decided to make an Italian themed meal, starting with a fresh salad of ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil drizzled with balsamic glaze. For the main course, he planned a hearty vegetable lasagna layered with roasted zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and a rich tomato sauce, all baked until bubbling with melted cheese. On the side, he would serve garlic bread, crisp and golden, perfect for soaking up the flavors. To finish, a classic tiramisu would be perfect.

Yes, Astrid could cook a variety of dishes beyond Chinese cuisine, but his preference always leaned toward it due to its bold flavors and familiar comfort. However, he chose to go with Italian for tonight's dinner because he had noticed that Snow preferred milder flavors, unlike the strong, savory, and spicy flavors of the dishes Astrid often cooked. Both were delicious cuisines, but sometimes people just prefer one over the other. @@novelbin@@
