Gabe waved at the door and it swung itself open. "Jenn, glad you could make it." He kissed her on the cheek as she entered.

"Thanks for the invite," she made her way past him to set a box on his table. "I baked a cake."

"A cake? A real cake? Flour and…and…whatever else goes in a cake kind of cake?"

"I did." She pulled off the top, exposing a mountain of carbs coated in chocolate frosting.

Gabe stood over it. "Wow. A real cake, that's going to be awesome." He took her coat and hung it by the door. "Can I get you a beer?"

"Sure. Where is everyone else?" Jenn settled onto a chair at his kitchen bar.

"Jared and Mustafa are on the way and Trish is going to be late or may not make it. You may be the only lady tonight."

Choking down a swig of her beer, Jenn laughed. "I better run for it. If we lose this match, you guys may riot."

"Did you eat? I was going to print some dinner, would you like some?"

"Yeah, thanks. I had something earlier, but could eat. What are you having?"

"A burrito. I bought fresh tortillas yesterday and I'm dying for one."

"Oh, that sounds great. I'll have a burrito."

Gabe tapped the counter and a window popped up. "Burrito menu," he told the kitchen and the interface changed to a list of icons, each representing options for the meal. With a flip, he rotated the window and slid it in front of her. "I'm having my favorite preset, so build yours and we'll get them started."

The kitchen sensed her presence and pinged her LifePreferences chip in her earring. A request for access popped up and Jenn clicked Access and then touched her earring to allow the connection. The menu adjusted ingredients to what the refrigerator and GrowArium had on hand.

Jenn clicked to use the fresh tortilla over a printed tortilla and scrolled on down. She selected chicken, rice, kidney beans, guacamole, cheese, and cilantro-lime sauce with a bit of fresh lettuce and tomato. The system, pinging her LifePreferences again, asked for safe substitutions of each, figuring the best materials for her personal needs against her recent dietary trends.

Gabe set her tortilla on the printer bed and shut the door. Ready to build the burrito, several systems came online at once. The printer began to heat the tortilla while printing the artificial chicken from proteins and dehydrated chicken broth directly on the bread. Another system prepared the rice, force hydrating each kernel with a mixture designed to taste like cilantro and lime. The kidney beans were printed around the chicken once those protein pieces were completed and warming. The guacamole was a special selection, frozen in small dots and extruded through a tube from the freezer. The cheese, given Jenn's issues with dairy, was printed from a non-dairy material.

Completing the printed ingredients, the GrowArium went into action. As the printer pulled the ingredients from the other sources and laid them down in burrito-fashion, the automated greenhouse cut two lettuce leaves and plucked a cherry tomato off the vine. Grown in a clean environment, they are chopped and diced and sent to the printer, which lays them on top.

At the ping, Gabe opened the door, rolled the burrito and laid it on a plate. After sliding it in front of Jenn, he laid the second tortilla in the printer which, having already prepared many of his ingredients, started printing his steak cuts.

Jenn waited for the few minutes for Gabe's to complete, the bar warming the burrito through the plate. While they chatted, Jenn pulled out her screen and checked her nutrition app. A pie graphs shows her total balance for the week. Her wearables felt she was a bit low on protein, so the meat portions were upped to more than the normal recipe. Since she'd baked the cake by hand, the system had figured out her normal portions, presenting those future calories as greyed out and reserved for the future.

Clicking on the smaller circle for the burrito, a list of ingredients and their nutritional value appeared. Each item showed what materials had been used in each ingredient. The rice was rice, of course, but the chicken and kidney beans were a bit larger in portion then the normal menu - adjusted to her needs based on age, weight and activity. The guacamole included some yellow zucchini puree as part of its mixture to reduce the calories - the cake would add quite a few.

Another swipe showed the last two months, each week a green line with one orange blip the day she'd split a box of real chocolate with a friend after watching a scary movie and two red blips representing Christmas and New Years, connected by an orange ribbon representing a week of weak will and leftovers she'd brought back from her parents'.

Gabe sat down, his burrito ready, so she put her screen away and enjoyed her meal - a mix of fresh, handmade, and printed ingredients.
