[It's like a magic trick. And it's one that Stan regards with immediate interest. His stomach actually growls just at the suggestion of a real meal. At home it was never a concern, the cafeteria had lunch and his mom always made dinner. If he woke up in time, there was cereal or whatever around for breakfast. Food was always so easy.
Here, it was tough. It wasn't just around anywhere, aside from Jesse's cookies. Which he'd eaten plenty of, made himself half sick on chocolate chips and sweet bread. But it hadn't occurred to him that someone around might know how to cook for real, or be willing to include him at a dinner table. He's more than a little surprised by the offer.]
