Luke's Diner | Friday

Bod was slightly late getting into work today because of both his class, his subsequent trip into town and time spent on the deck. The cooking staff didn't seem to mind as they were busily cooking food and enjoying the fact that the weekend was coming and they were in a nice, warm environment. Bod put an apron on and went about wiping down the counters.

Bod was aproned up and ready to help!

Smells abounding and redheads bouncing. Definitely a typical Friday.

"Hi, Bod!" Ariel smiled happily at him as she hopped on over toward the counter and her usual stool. "Guess what."

Bod tossed his dishrag over his shoulder and moved over towards Ariel. "What?" he asked dutifully.

"I got to try deep fried Cheetos!" Ariel proclaimed proudly. "Miss Burrows was really nice about giving it a try."

"Congratulations," Bod said, chuckling. "How did they turn out?"

"Meh." Ariel shrugged. "I think I'll just stick with regular fries and regular Cheetos. I guess some things are best left in their classic states, you know?"

"It would have bothered you if you hadn't tried it though, right?" Bod guessed, smiling. "You might have been missing out on something amazing."

"You know me well, Nobody Owens," Ariel announced with a laugh. "But now I know, and it's on to thinking about what else might be good deep fried."

"Do you have any new ideas?" Bod asked curiously. "I'd assume all potato chips would be ruled out after the Cheeto experiment?"

Ariel's head bobbed a little bit. "I think I need to take it in a dramatically different direction," she agreed. "Like a sandwich or something."

"Wouldn't that technically be a toasted sandwich?" Bod wondered curiously.

"I'd figured you'd use a toaster oven for a toasted sandwich," Ariel reasoned, "not a deep fryer."

"I'm trying to think if bread could stand up to frying," Bod said thoughtfully. "If you toast it, it hardens. Frying would probably be higher temperatures so it might just harden until it breaks."

"Only one way to find out!" Ariel chirped with another laugh. "I guess I'll be stopping in to see Miss Burrows again next week. I think....I'll try peanut butter and jelly. Deep friend peanut butter and jelly."

"She's going to just hire you one of these days," Bod quipped with a laugh. "I'm sure she could use someone to clean the deep fryer every so often."

"It would only be fair!" Ariel admitted, chuckling. "I wouldn't mind. I don't know if I'd be any good at it, but it's the least I could do if she keeps letting me deep fry things."

"Well, I'm sure it helps her too," Bod pointed out, shrugging. "She gets to learn what she can and can't put in the menu with your help."

"I...don't really know if she'd be likely to take any of my suggestions, even if they did turn out better than the Cheetos," Ariel admitted with a bit of a rueful smile.

"Stranger things have happened," Bod said easily. "And you never know, right? Did you expect the island to be in ancient Egypt today?"

"I think I'd expect being in ancient Egypt today more than I would Miss Burrows hiring me," Ariel admitted. "I seemed to have made her really nervous."

"Perhaps she was just nervous about how frying a Cheeto would actually turn out?" Bod suggested. "It might not have been done before."

"That's true." Ariel tilted her head a little, considering this angle on things. "Maybe after a few times, she'll be more accepting of things going into the deep fryer; I'll see if she's any better after the sandwich suggestion."

"And if she's not, I'm sure there are similar places in town with access to appliances," Bod said, shrugging a shoulder. "You wouldn't be totally put out if Miss Burrows decided to not let you fry anything."

Friiiiiiiiiiday!
