Until it is solved

Chapter 8

Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Sausage and Green Beans

and lastly
Turkey crown with roast garlic & pancetta.

"

Y/n was about to drop to the ground after hearing all the dishes we needed to cook and we also only had 4 hours.

"Well we better head to work I guess. What should we cook first?"

"Hmmmm" I said "Let's start with Turkey crown with roast garlic & pancetta."

"Okay so" I grabbed the recipe "The ingredients are:
2-2.5kg/4lb 8oz-5lb 8oz turkey crown
olive oil
about 10 thin slices streaky bacon or pancetta
small rosemary sprigs
1 large onion, cut into 8 wedges.

And for the stuffing:
4 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
2 medium onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
50g pine nuts
85g grated parmesan
6-8 slices pancetta, chopped
1 small loaf ciabatta, to give 280g/10oz breadcrumbs
4 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 tbsp rosemary, finely chopped
zest 1 lemon, finely grated
2 eggs, beaten

And-"

"It doesn't end there?"

"Nope, for the garlic:
3 whole bulbs garlic, halved horizontally
1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges

For the gravy:
4 tsp plain flour
175ml medium-sweet marsala
850ml turkey or chicken stock"

Kiera groaned and continued hitting her head in the fridge like a little kid.

"How long is this supposed to take?"

"Well 35 minutes to prepare it and 1 hour and 50 minutes to 2 hours to cook."

".........we might need backup"

".........we definitely need backup"

"How do we put this thing anyway?" Asked a confused Tewksbury .

"I don't know." Sherlock"maybe let's ask the girls for help."

"The infamous Sherlock can't figure this out!"Tewksbury laughed "and listen to them making fun of us for not being able to put this?! No way!"

"Listen here, they are our girlfriends and this is not some cringey middle school rivalry. Let's do the mature thing before we mess this whole tree up."

"You ask like you don't spend every minute of your day with Y/n. She tries to turn everything in a race."

Both boys were currently sitting in the ground holding random part of the giant Christmas tree.

"And how can you mess this thing up anyway?" Tewksbury asked Sherlock , trying to prove the point that they didn't need help.

Sherlock just shrugged. "I don't know. You always find a way to mess everything up. It's quite impressive actually."

Before Tewksbury could answer there was a knock on the door.

"Go answer it." Sherlock said raising his head and pointing to the door. "I'll stay with the tree so you can't mess it up like you did with the Spring party."

Tewksbury groaned.

"That was months ago!"

"Yeah and Y/n still cries about it to this day."

"Fine!"

Tewksbury got up and ran to the door, answering it.

"Hello?"

In return he got stepped over and pushed by a bunch of girls, like a dozen of them, carrying vegetables, fruits, different kinds of groceries and a bunch of kitchen stuff.

"Okay girls!"

Enola shouted getting on top of the table. About 15 girls were currently in the kitchen so there was a lot of noise and hardly any space to movie.

"I'll give a recipe to each of you and you'll find your teammates and finish it!"

"Yes Enola!" They all shouted in unison heading straight to work. Okay maybe they could finish in time.

When Tewksbury returned to the living room his mouth hanged wide open.

"H-how?!" He stared at the build up Christmas tree. Sherlock was sitting on the couch watching Tv.

"It seems like you were the problem all along"
