Chapter 560: Milk is Almighty

Chapter 560: Milk is Almighty

The day after the cream puff and pancake feast, I was dead tired in the living room.

Perhaps feeling a bit remorseful, Maribelle promised that the maids would do it the next time.

And, realizing how much sugar they were consuming, the girls understand that eating this too often would be bad.

Or rather, it might have been me muttering “you might gain weight if you eat too many sweets”.

After eating lunch, the maids, Maria, and I gathered in the kitchen to try out dishes made of the Milqueen’s milk while making sure not to wake up Etoile, Haruka, and Flora.

The babies were still at that phase where they sleep for hours after being breastfed, so it couldn’t be helped.

Drinking milk and sleeping is the babies job right now.

I’ve used milk in cream stews in the past, but I have a feeling the taste would elevate remarkably by just replacing it with Milqueen milk.

「First, I’ll make a lot of cream stew for dinner. I think the rest would be great in a gratin.」

「I want to eat french toast!」

When I spoke, Akane interjected with a request of her own.

「No, french toast won’t do for dinner. You can have it for breakfast if you really want it, but nothing sweet for dinner.」

「Can’t you just make it as dessert?」

「No, it’s too heavy for dessert after dinner.」

「Hrrrr, fine. I’ll be patient as long as I can have it for my afternoon snack.」

「So it’s already decided that french toast would be made. Haa, okay I get it. Just know that I won’t make that many.」

「Okay! I’ll leave it to you then!」

Akane said that and exited the kitchen.

「Akane-sama, Akane-sama, is french toast tasty nya?」

「Yeah, it’s sweet and tasty.」

「Yay! I’m excited for snack time!」

I mixed together milk, butter, eggs, and sugar, then I cut up and soaked the bread into the liquid mixture.

「Is it sweets made with bread?」

「Nu uh, I wouldn’t consider it sweets. Well, a dessert is a dessert, but that’s not for me, so I guess it’s breakfast.」

I placed some butter into a frying pan, then fried the bread that has soaked enough of the liquid.

A sweet aroma wafted through the kitchen.

「Ha! Isn’t that another dessert in the end?」

「Too late, Takumi-sama. Maribelle-san now also knows about it.」

「Ah!?」

When I turned around, Maribelle was standing there, smiling.

「I’m looking forward to it, Master.」

「Ha, haha, it’ll be done soon......」

I dished up the french toast on the many plates lined up.

「Takumi-sama, that is?」

「It’s vanilla ice cream.」

I placed vanilla ice cream over the french toast.

The french toast that Akane requested was greatly received by the women in the Sanctuary. The ice cream was highly praised.

We ate macaroni gratin and french toast topped with ice cream at 3pm, so naturally, dinner was late that day.

Madam Elizabeth aside, why was Madam Lumia eating at our house as if it was the norm?

It’s not like we can say no, I guess.
