Summary:Weren't souffles supposed to be three dimensional?

Steven poked his plate nervously, clearly expecting the food to take on a life of its own. Jessica had cooked it, after all.

He remembered the fish incident, thank you very much, he was well in his rights to be dubious that his sister’s culinary skills had improved.

Fortunately, everyone else in the room shared his trepidation. Even Prince Albert wasn’t begging for a bite. And he ate darn near anything.

Besides, weren’t soufflés supposed to be three dimensional? This one was as flat as a pancake.

Jessica had been stepping it up lately, he supposed. She’d had to, with Liz gone who knows where, and all. But that still didn’t mean she could cook.

Still, when his mother gave him an expectant look, he knew what he’d have to do. He bravely -- dubiously -- took a bite.

The things he’d do for his sister.
