“Did you just put sugar in the sauce?” Kojiro asked as he walked into the kitchen.
Kaoru startled, nearly dropping the spoon he was holding, “I may have, why?” he asked.
“Why?” Kojiro ignored his question altogether and moved to look at the sauce that Kaoru was mixing together.
Kaoru stared at Kojiro like there was an obvious answer, “It takes away the acidity from the sauce.” he explained.
“Are you serious?”
“Yes! When I make it like this, it gives me less heartburn,” Kaoru shrugged as he continued to stir the sauce.
“You could add onions or carrots in the sauce and that’ll fix it too.” Kojiro explained.
“Blech, nasty. I hate onions.”
“What about carrots?”
“Those are for stew. Not pasta.”
Huffing, Kojiro moved around Kaoru to examine the pasta, “...Did you break the pasta noodles?” he asked.
“It makes more pasta that way.” Kaoru grinned when Kojiro turned to him with a deadpan expression.
Kaoru giggled as Kojiro started shooing him away from the stove, “You’re a menace.”
