[Oh no, it's another one of Jake's "cooking shows". Supposedly, he does these every week, but it's closer to every other month. Half the time, he winds up lighting his fur on fire. The other half of the time, he forgets to actually cook anything. He's pretty sure he does these for makeup credit in a class, but if you ask him which one he's actually forgotten.]

Today on "My Mutant Kitchen" I'm gonna show you how to make a tuna-nuna casserole in ice cream cones. Now you're probably saying "but Jake, you said last week you were gonna make a gingerbread Kama Sutra!" AND I WAS. Unfortunately, I received a number of letters condemning that as "inappropriate for minors." Additionally, I received a number of letters requesting positions not featured in the Kama Sutra that, quite frankly, were downright distressing. And while we're on the topic of letters, whoever keeps leaving Milkbones in my mailslot, keep doing it. I broke down and ate one yesterday and I think I just found a new movie-snack sensation.

[The rest of the episode goes off without a hitch, save for a bunch of egg noodles that dry onto Jake's arm without him noticing.]

Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed this week's episode. Tune in next time and I'll show you how to make Patbingsu, a Korean dessert that doesn't involve any fire.

[Shortly after "hosting his cooking show" Jake can be found wondering the student areas with his arm looped firmly around a number of ice cream cones filled with tuna-noodle casserole. He's handing them out to anyone who looks hungry, but he doesn't seem to be explaining that it's not ice cream very well.]

[Apollo's never seen Jake's "cooking show", but he walks by someone holding filled ice cream cones and can't resist. Not that he tries to resist at all. Or ask. Or use his hands.

He leans over with his mouth open wide and lifts one of the cones out of Jake's arm, already starting to chew it as he straightens up. A confused look passes over his face.]

Hey, this isn't ice cream.

[Of course with the cone still in his mouth it's difficult to make out exactly what he's saying. He's still continuing to eat it though.]

[Jake has a pretty good idea what Apollo's saying. No one's complaining about free food, but the experiment isn't flying nearly so well as he'd hoped. Oh well, most works of genius are only fully understood after their time anyhow.]

Nah, dude. That's a casserole. See, I just put it in the cones because I'd rather eat one-handed. Also, I figured if you bake it in little balls like that, you get more of the crunchy part. Hit me up next week, though. I'm making Korean red bean ice cream. Its a shame you can't eat it one-handed, though.

[Apollo continues to eat the casserole cone without using his hands, tilting his head back to keep it moving into his mouth and giving his barely intelligible response as he does so.]

It ain't bad.

[The tip of the cone disappears into his mouth and he chews for a bit before wiping his mouth with the back of his hand and licking the food remains off of it.]

Bean ice cream doesn't sound like it'd be very good.
