"Here." Alto said, shuffling through the back door holding up a bag full of groceries. "I'm making meatloaf tonight."

Jerry didn't have time to shop usually so Alto usually saved up what little money he got to do it instead. Having one less thing to worry about was always nice, and meatloaf was pretty simple. Just get some mince, mix it with bread blended up in a food processor, add some turmeric, salt, and pepper to taste, add onions, shape it into a loaf, and then bake it or steam it whichever way you wanted it.

"Do we still have a couple of potatoes left?" He said, moving over to the pantry.

There were 4 which was just about enough. He also took about a cup of frozen peas from the freezer. He was probably going to steam the loaf because he couldn't emulate an oven with the Vice Claw for something as big as a meatloaf right now. He'd been thinking of looking up how to make something like that online but he hadn't gotten around to it yet. To steam something he could use a flat colander in a big pot with a plate on the bottom so he could add more water to steam it with, and just place it on top of his palm and he'd just have to sit for a while as it cooked. He could roast the potatoes by wrapping them in foil and holding them in his hand, and the peas could be cooked by putting them in a bowl of hot water and covering it.

He'd already prepared the bread before he went out for the groceries, so all that was left was chopping the onions, assembling the loaf and foiling everything up.

"Oh yeah, I got invited to a prom today," He said as he started chopping onions. "What do you actually do, because I've never been in one."
