The dish Leonora Nakiri made was Milk Braised Cabbage.
Put the Cabbage in a pot, then pour in milk, an appropriate amount of broth and salt, simmer on low heat for thirty minutes, and after taking it out, sprinkle some breadcrumbs fried in butter.
The cabbage was soft and delicious, with a rich milky aroma, fully bringing out the almond-like texture and sweet taste of the Almond Cabbage, complemented by crispy breadcrumbs with a buttery fragrance—it was incredibly tasty.
"Wow, this is too delicious! I never imagined Lady Leonora Nakiri's cooking skills were so outstanding!"
Tadokoro Megumi, Ryoko Sakaki, and others ate with endless praise, loudly commending her.
"Satou, you should try some too."
Leonora Nakiri smiled, picked up a large piece of cream-braised cabbage, and placed it in Satou's bowl.
"Thank you, Aunt."
Satou quickly replied, then took a bite, his eyes lighting up as he said, "It's very delicious! Full of milky flavor, sweet and palatable. Aunt's skill is as amazing as ever."
"Oh my, this child certainly knows how to talk."
Leonora Nakiri covered her face, like a shy maiden, and patted Satou's shoulder with a joyful smile.
Looking at this... Mother-in-law, who was full of girlish charm, Satou was somewhat speechless.
"Oh, what kind of dish is this?"
Leonora Nakiri noticed the two dishes Satou had brought, one of which had small pieces of meat skewered on wooden sticks.
She picked up a skewer, tasted it, and then froze.
"Mom's 'burst' is about to begin again."
Alice Nakiri suddenly said.
"Wha... what 'burst'? That's not good, not in front of so many people."
Ryoko Sakaki and the others were startled, their faces turning crimson.
Tadokoro Megumi even covered her eyes.
"After high-temperature grilling, the juices are tightly locked inside, taut and contracted, like biting into a high-density sponge, yet every bite is incredibly springy and refreshing, exquisitely tender. Simple grilling with a sprinkle of pepper fully highlights the ingredient's deliciousness, and a few drops of lemon juice add an extra refreshing touch."
Leonora Nakiri's face seemed to be enveloped in holy light. With her eyes closed and a gentle smile, she spoke in a hymn-like tone, rattling off in perfectly fluent Japanese.
Tadokoro Megumi and the others, witnessing Leonora Nakiri's 'word-burst' for the first time, instantly widened their eyes.
"Suddenly, her Japanese became so fluent."
Yuki Yoshino said, dumbfounded.
"Ah, that's just how Mom is. Once she tastes delicious food, she has a 'word-burst'."
Alice Nakiri explained.
Erina Nakiri's face was a little red, feeling that her Aunt was a bit embarrassing.
"What kind of meat is this? The texture is so good."
Leonora Nakiri came back to her senses and cheerfully turned to Satou.
"Oh, this is beef tongue."
Satou smiled and said, "This dish is Japanese grilled beef tongue. Just a simple grill, then add pepper and lemon juice."
"So it's beef tongue? No wonder it's so springy and tender."
Leonora Nakiri said with a beaming smile, holding the grilled beef tongue in her left hand and the peach wine brewed by Erina Nakiri with shining peach in her right. "Mmm... this grilled beef tongue paired with sweet peach wine is exceptionally delicious."
"Is that so? I'll try some too."
Alice Nakiri also picked up a skewer and tasted it, and even Erina Nakiri took one.
After everyone tasted it, they were all exceptionally surprised, finding it incredibly delicious.
"Mmm... it tastes much better than ordinary beef tongue."
Erina Nakiri took a bite and said in surprise.
"Mm."
Satou also tasted it, and it was indeed much better than regular beef tongue.
"So, what's this dish then? Fried potatoes?"
Leonora Nakiri looked curiously at the fried potato slices Satou made from potato pork chop and asked.
"Oh, this is a special kind of potato. It tastes very much like pork chop, so I sliced it, fried it, and then added a little pepper."
Satou explained with a smile.
Leonora Nakiri picked up a piece, blew on it, and then carefully took a bite.
The potato's texture surpassed even the tenderest pork chop; it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, incredibly delicious.
"So, so delicious!"
Leonora Nakiri caressed her flushed cheeks, and then her face began to glow with holy light again.
However, this time everyone was mentally prepared for her unique 'burst' method, so they weren't surprised.
"But is this really a potato? It's not just that the texture is similar to pork chop; it's simply much more delicious than ordinary pork chop, by who knows how much!"
Yuki Yoshino, blowing on the hot food, had a face full of amazement.
"Ah! If this really is a potato, aren't we able to eat pork chop all the time without worrying about getting fat?"
Ryoko Sakaki thought of something and suddenly smiled.
The other girls were also visibly moved.
"This is great! I was worried about gaining a lot of weight after coming here, but now I can eat potatoes to my heart's content."
Leonora Nakiri smiled as she touched her abdomen, which had not a single ounce of excess fat.
"Aunt is very slender, not fat at all."
Satou said with a smile, feeling that this... Mother-in-law's figure was perfectly maintained, even better than Alice's.
"Oh my, this child certainly knows how to talk."
Leonora Nakiri touched her cheek and laughed happily, "But, I really have gained weight since coming here."
"You'll know if you touch it."
Then she grabbed Satou's hand and placed it on her abdomen.
Her abdomen was flat, her waist slender, and easily grasped.
Satou touched it, but didn't find her to be fat anywhere.
"You're not fat. Erina's belly can even be pinched into a bun."
Erina Nakiri's cheeks immediately flushed crimson. She gritted her teeth, annoyed and angry, and subtly pinched him under the table with her small hand.
"However, Aunt's figure is indeed very good."
She glanced, a hint of sourness in her tone.
She felt that this woman, who was like her mother, actually had a more slender figure than herself, which was truly vexing! The other girls also subconsciously glanced at their own waists, feeling a bit jealous.
"Mom! You're too lewd. How can you just let a boy touch your waist?!"
Alice Nakiri's cheeks puffed up like big buns, her expression one of jealousy.
"Satou is family, not an outsider. What's the big deal?"
Leonora Nakiri lectured her daughter.
