"Dough temperature?"
"19.72 Celsius," Amita reported, raising a kitchen thermometer.
"Oven temperature?"
"465 Kelvin." Larry adjusted his goggles and closed the oven.
"Cookie sheets, ungreased. Disher, ten cc's." Charlie hefted the named items. "Kiss from beautiful assistant." Amita rolled her eyes but obliged, and Charlie grinned. "All right, on to Phase --"
Don walked through the kitchen doorway, glancing around. "Hey, guys, Amita... What're you up to?"
"Creating the perfect chocolate chip cookie," Charlie announced, as Amita unhooked the bowl from the mixer.
"Cookies?" Don's eyes lit up. "Can I help?"
"Of course!" Charlie wielded his scoop with a flourish, pulling out a sample. "Open up," he ordered, reaching forward.
"What?" Don batted Charlie's hand away. "I think I can feed myself."
"It is very important," Charlie stressed, "that the experiment not be contaminated by handling the mixture with unsanitized implements." Amita and Larry traded glances. Don sighed, opening his mouth, and Charlie popped in the dough. "Now, Phase Two, where we bring together chemistry and aesthetics." Amita snorted, folding her arms, and Charlie scooped domed portions onto the top cookie sheet.
Don, however, chewed slowly, then swallowed, his eyebrows lifting in surprise. "Wow, this is actually good!"
"I told you." Charlie handed the filled sheet to Larry. "They're optimized."
