Lt. Forster always love to cook every so often he will cook for his team in the security office. All he needed was a hot plate to make great meals to feed his team and his friends. Today the ships cook gave him command of the galley after his shift.

All is welcome to have dinner

Pawl entered the mess hall to an odd change he was not prepared for. As he noticed that someone different was doing the cooking this afternoon or evening. He was not sure what to do at that moment as he moved to the side of the door. So he would not be in the way of the others entering and exiting the room. He decided on a table in the far corner of the room and took a seat as he watched the others. The smell of food had excited him, it was something he was prepared for, but he was not going to miss an opportunity to try another new dish.

As he stood in the line that was forming to get his meal. “I think I will have some garlic butter shrimp and noodles, please.” Some garlic bread sticks and and a large glass of Iced tea to drink as he gathered a tray and silverware.” Pawl said calmly as he watched them get the food and drink ready for his as they set the food on his tray when it was prepared and complete. “Thank you!”He said kindly as he moved back to his table in the corner.

John saw the chief engineer enter and gather his food. He watched to see if he would be enjoying the meal. He then served up a fresh serving of noodles with shrimp. He poured a little bit of a sauce over the shrimp before putting them into the pot with the noodles for a good mixing.

Kastarak thought it necessary to attend the dinner for the morale of the crew. Forster had made a significant morale-fostering act, selfless and with the welfare of his crewmates in mind. Kastarak wished to honour this, even if he could not eat any of the food.

He entered the mess hall, indicating for everyone not to rise in attention. He walked up to chef Forster.

“This selfless act of yours for the crew’s morale honours you. I shall remember it.”

John looked up and slide a bowl of Vulcan soup with fresh root stock. “ a little taste of home is never too far away, sir.” He then went back to work in the kitchen. The Vulcan root stock. He used what was the last bit of stock that silver gave him. Silver has a small farm so he was sure he can get more from him.

Kastarak had definitely not expected that act. It came as a surprise to him. As he took the bowl in his hands, Kastarak felt the familiar aroma. This type of soup – or at least one with a similar smell to this one in his hands – was the first Vulcan meal he had had following his escape from Vulcan. It was that first smell of a home that no longer was, three weeks after Vulcan’s destruction. Until that time, he had eaten only the food available on the various ships and camps.

He looked into Forster’s eyes, “Thank you, Mr Forster, for preparing this for me.”

“No problem sir just let me know if you ever need a taste of home sir” he said as he got back to work cooking. He did enjoy cooking maybe he will open a restaurant when he retires from Starfleet
