First Batch
“This doesn’t look right,” said Parker, holding up the spoon so that a glob of cookie dough plopped back into the mixing bowl. “It’s lumpy.”
“Did you get all the ingredients in there?” Eliot asked, not looking up from his chopping. “Got ‘em mixed in real good?”
“They’re lumpy,” Parker repeated. “I did something wrong.”
Eliot set down his knife. “You didn’t do anything wrong, Parker,” he said, patiently. “It’s your first batch. They’re gonna be lumpy. They’ll cook unevenly. You’ll leave some in the oven too long. But you’ll learn, and we’ll eat them anyway.”
She brightened. “Really?”
“Sure.”
