The Coast of Home 4D

Hurt, annoyed, and downright frustrated, you go into the small kitchen and pull out your recipe book.
Spaghetti, nope.
Steak, you wish.
Something you can't pronounce, no.
Cookies, not a meal. Or so you've been told.
Stress cooking has always been a back up for you and you attack the skillet and oven for the next hour and a half.
Halfway through eating, your phone rings. It's your mother.
"Hi mom."
"Hi, honey...sniff...something's happened."
"What Mom?" you ask becoming anxious.
"Your sister was at a friend's last night and on the way home a drunk driver..." your mother sobs.
"Mom. I'm leaving right now, I'll be home as fast as I can drive." You say jumping up and running to your room. You throw a few things in a bag then run back to the kitchen, scribble a note for your roommate and hurry out the door.
