"Okay," Millie said. She began searching through the cupboards in the kitchen. Plates, bowls, glasses, cookware. Cleaning supplies, salt, pepper, spices--ah, baking supplies. Flour, dried rice, crackers, a half-eaten package of generic Oreo knock-offs.

And several packets of biscuit mix. Millie looked at the directions. Easy as pie; just add water to the mix, spoon it out on a baking sheet and bake it. (Doesn't get much easier,) Millie thought.

"Cheese and garlic biscuits okay?" Millie asked.

Nobody objected so Millie set about making them. "Hey uh--Ami? So have you learned anything new?"
