Francisca blinked and chuckled when she realized what he was saying. "Non non non, the recipe said to cream the sugar and butter together - it's a cooking term that more or less means mixing together. Also, if you do it enough with the butter..." She motioned down at the smoother butter and sugar mix, dipping a finger in it. "It becomes creamier, see?"

Smiling, she poured the beaten eggs into Romeo's bowl, gently taking the fork from him and handing him a wooden spoon. "There, now stir those eggs into the butter mix while I measure out the flour."
