The morning was still dark, as always, and even at midsummer there was a little dew on the paving stones and herbs of the street outside. And while he supposed having worn stones outside your place of business was a sign of success, they were also a bit slippery, and he'd almost lost his footing. He took a deep, calming breath as he opened the door, expecting to smell only a touch of the vinegar Desta used to mop up at night. Instead, he picked up a slight whiff of burned sugar. He hadn't burned a pastry in months. [i]It happened again. Something is strange.[/i] He flicked on the light and saw that, once again, the canisters of flour and sugar were a little out of place. He checked the ovens and found that one had been cleaned recently, but the smell of burning was still stronger there. [i]Someone has been in my kitchen![/i] His ruff started to prickle, fluffing up with anxiety. [i]Who would come in here? What are they trying to do?[/i] [/columns] [columns][color=#775849][size=4] Ming still needed to bake for the morning customers, but who knew what else was wrong now? After testing the oven temperatures and checking all the ingredients, he went ahead and started, but his peace was thoroughly disrupted, and the pastries knew it. These were not among his best bakes. Once he finished, he went into the customer area at the front. Nuru was there already, of course. Since she'd taken the job, he'd never seen the counter without Nuru behind it. A real trooper, that one. When she'd finished making a fancy coffee for the customer she was serving, Ming said, "Nuru, I was wondering -- have you noticed anything odd in the kitchen lately?" Her impassive face told him nothing, as usual. "Not at all, Ming. Would you like a drink?"

"I suppose so, thank you. Something calming, though, no caffeine. The kitchen has just seemed wrong the last couple of days, and now my ruff won't lie flat. It's not easy to laminate dough when you can't look straight down." "Have a seat, chef, and I'll get you a tisane," Nuru replied, and he did. As he sat down at the small table he favored, near the group of potted trees, Ming noticed one of the customers, a fellow Shining Goblin, smiling at him. [i]Oh, I recognize that guy... He really smiles a lot.[/i] Ming nodded in return. The customer's eyes crinkled at the corners and he nodded back, then took a sip of his half-full coffee before carrying it to the bus tub in the corner and walking out the door. Nuru waved, and Ming went to pick up his soothing drink, but his ruff already felt a little better.[/columns] [center] [img]https://imgur.com/XLuYPiZ.png[/img] [size=4][color=#775849][b]Today's recipe: [url=https://holycowvegan.net/vegan-strawberry-scones/]Vegan Strawberry Scones[/url][/b][/size] [img]https://imgur.com/XLuYPiZ.png[/img] [color=#d58586][i]This story will update daily.
