After creaming the butter together with the sugar, molasses, and a pinch of salt, I cracked a few eggs into the mixture, and handed it over to Isaac again.
"Can you mix this for me?" I asked.
"I don't know how to do it properly though," he replied.
"You don't need a technique, you just need to mix until it's all incorporated together," I explained. "I need to try and find another ingredient, but I'm not sure where it might be."
"Alright, I'll do it," Isaac sighed. "And don't try to trick me with that excuse, I know you just don't want to use your arms!"
"Yeah, yeah, sure."
I climbed onto the counter again, and the two of them looked at me weird.
"Be careful, don't fall off," Lionel warned me.
"I'll be fine, don't worry," I replied, opening a spice cabinet and shuffling around different jars, bottles, and boxes to see if I could find some vanilla beans.
They may not have vanilla extract here, but this family is rich. They must have vanilla somewhere...
I started opening a few of the boxes in the back of the cabinet, without any luck. After thoroughly inspecting the first cabinet, I moved over to the second one and searched around as well.
How does this kitchen have every possible spice, herb, pepper, and flavoring stocked, but never use a single one when cooking? They're all just going to waste! I thought angrily to myself.
I was starting to get dizzy from all the intense flavors and smells, so I cleared my head by checking on Isaac.
"That looks good, you can stop mixing it for now,"
"Ughhh..." Isaac dropped his arm instantly. "My arm is on fire!"
"Heh... I know how that feels," Lionel mumbled.
I went back to checking the cabinet, opening up another pristinely kept box that was shoved into the back, likely never been touched after it was bought.
My eyes widened as I saw the distinct shape of cured vanilla beans, and the light, sweet, scent drifted into my nose.
"I found it!" I yelled, scaring both Lionel and Isaac.
I climbed down from the counter, waving the box in front of them.
"Smell it," I encouraged them. "It's amazing!"
