the thing that really charms me about armand getting a bunch of modern kitchen appliances and just putting random shit through them in queen of the damned is that those chapters are from daniel's point of view. armand has a human companion. a human companion with whom he seems to spend approximately every waking moment. he has a perfectly valid reason to learn to cook. he could cook for his beloved pet amateur journalist who eats human food. like. you know what's a fun thing to put in a toaster oven? toast. and then daniel has some toast to eat. but no. dead rat.
