Davoud:
Just killing time here, waiting for my lunch to cook.

Brian Tung:
What's your lunch cooking? Itself? Isn't that a little macabre?

Uh-uh! I was ready for that one. "cook: verb, intrans. (of food) be
heated so that the condition required for eating is reached."

Macabre? That would be the sentient food animal at Milliways. He
described to the patrons the virtues of eating his various parts, then
said "I'll just nip off and shoot myself..." or words to that effect.

I'm having boiled fresh* white corn and boiled potatoes for lunch. They
are cooking themselves now.

Davoud

*fresh: adj. picked on my wife's farm within the past hour.
