That's where improvisation comes in. If you know the process well enough, how it works and why it works, you can find ways to make it work with what you have.
[ Like Sylvain inventing a flamethrower using magic (no). ]
[An Zhe wants to reply to this, but thinking on it, he realizes he never quite learned what people did about torn clothes before the city got destroyed. Where did they even get new clothes? Maybe at the black market?
Depends on who you ask, really. Dimitri and I weren't actually married, it was an assigned role for a mission, but I think he got a kick out of being the little wife.
[ If someone likes the sound of it, then it works, doesn't it? ]
In earnest I'd say the sentiment matters more than the word.

Date: 2025-02-26 05:21 am (UTC)I wonder if you can make bread out of potatoes...
[Somehow it always comes back to potatoes.]

It's worth trying, seeing as you do have potatoes back home.

We can find out how many recipes can be made with them. We've got the time.

Date: 2025-02-27 02:21 pm (UTC)I've been learning a lot since coming here. When I go back, I'll be able to share all the new recipes I learned...and mend clothes, too.
[Specifically sharing with Lu Feng, but. Everyone else, too! Of course!]

It was before your tenure, but my first mission proper had us playing house. My little wife certainly tried, but the results...

What is a wife?
no subject
Date: 2025-03-01 05:16 am (UTC)[ Yuri can only guess. ]
How about marriage, you know that one?

And that person's your wife. Or husband.
no subject
Date: 2025-03-03 09:48 pm (UTC)In that case...I also have a wife. Or husband.
[Unsure which??]

...Did you make all this yourself?

Stews aren't too difficult to make in large quantites, and they tend to be filling.

It would have been nice to get a job in the kitchen...but learning to mend clothes will be helpful too, eventually.

Date: 2025-03-06 06:37 am (UTC)[ The thing he's proudest of is what he can do with less, really, which suits their homeworld needs more. ]
Mending clothes is a handy skill. You can even apply some of that to cooking and baking.
