[ They're going to be turned into mush anyways, so they don't have to be pretty. Like my dad likes to say (to justify his terrible knifework, maybe): "Your stomach doesn't have eyes." ]
Hmm... We could do both, if you'd like.
[ He grabs both noodles and seaweed, and there is absolutely not going to be enough liquid leftover in this pot by the time everything's done cooking. ]
[ Both it is. Soggy noodles are more tolerable than ones that are undercooked, so everything gets dumped in there now. ]
We can always taste test in between and add more if we think it needs more flavor. But go ahead and dump the potatoes in there.
[ Are they just peeled and not cut? He forgets to check and doesn't specify, but he's busy going back over to the fridge to pull out a carton of eggs and to find a large bowl. ]
[ It's fine, the potatoes will cook through if they leave it on high heat for several hours, hopefully. More time for the flavors to come out or something. ]
Yep, the eggs go in last. Do you know how to crack eggs?
[ Slow is fine; more time for the potatoes and stuff to cook. ]
Not really... It's easier to just go out and eat. Cooking... it's easier to cook for a group, than it is for just one person. So I'd just go out and eat by myself.
Hm..... Bread is portable and filling, so that's never a bad choice. If I have time, noodle soups are warm and filling. If I don't have time, I think I could probably live off coffee?

[ her potatoes look like a disaster but also, not as bad as they could be considering this is the first time she has peeled them. ]
Does it has to be one or the other?

[ they'll just be eating slightly soggy ham and noodles, it's fine. ]
Is this enough ingredients?

[ she'll even watch out for the shell and everything. ]
no subject
[ She gets the full dozen eggs and the bowl to crack them in, while Minato grabs half a cup of water and a whisk. ]
no subject
well, she'll get to cracking. she's also going to be doing this rather slowly. ]
Do you do this often?
no subject

[ ah, a shell almost got in, but she manages to nab it at the last moment. ]

Do you have a favorite?
no subject
[ He would take this stupid bet, and lose, and die. ]
Coffee is coffee, though. I'm not picky.

[ they are not doing this, she will be the w1 murderer for accidentally starving minato to death ]

It doesn't have to be an object we bet. It could be something like a favor, or a promise.
no subject
[ that she still has no idea what it'll be.
ALSO COFFEE ISN'T PROPERLY HYDRATED ]
no subject
[ A favor that Minato forgot completely about
ALSO IT'S A LIQUID, IT'S HYDRATING ]
no subject
[ more egg into the bowl. this is so much egg. ]
Unless you don't want it?
no subject
I'll take the favor. [ And he'll forget about it in about two minutes and never collect on it, but that's fine ]
If I win this bet, you'll just owe me one big favor. How does that sound? And if you win, I'll do something for you. Anything you want.
no subject
[ this is a terrible idea
but she's also assuming that he'd probably just give up. there's a pause. ]
But there's special occasions when we have to stop the bet. Like when we eat this soup.
no subject
Deal. We can start the bet after we eat the soup.
