Hadley winced a little. Rachel should know better than to suggest Hads help in anything involving food. "Unless you want to be poisoned, or end up seven or something." She gave her patented shrug. "But Natalie might want to help. She's a good cook..." Sorry, sis. You just got volunteered.
Hadley shook her head, and finished chewing her obscenely large bite of Philly Cheesesteak. It's more than that," she said in between washing it down with the freshly delivered butterbeer. "There's plenty of you in her physically too." The shape of the face, her mannerisms, gestures, etc. That gentle, kind sparkle in her eyes. "Take the compliment, Mae." Because Rachel was one of her favorite people alive, not that she'd actually say that outloud, so it was a compliment.
"Yeah, sure!" Hadley was half way done with her sandwich at this point, and was too focused on it to think of any other food at the moment. "And Mom can even teach you to cook them and then you can make them for your parents to try." She already had some of them at the Denaker's in the past.
Once Hadley was done with her sandwich, she took a moment to savor it and then jumped on the hot dog. "Both are delicious. You both did a great job at them." As for British food, Hadley made a face. "British cuisine is just...weird. Kinda." She finished her hot dog in silence a moment, then sat back, letting it all sit for a moment. De-lici-ous! "So how do y'all do the presents thing? Is it strictly a Christmas morning thing? Christmas Eve? One gift on Christmas Eve, the rest in the morning?" Her own family was a one gift on Christmas Eve the rest in the morning family. And she was dying to give Rachel her gift. Well one of them.
