Pie for Beginners - Monday 2nd period - Week 2

[konoha-flash.livejournal.com]

The class met the same place it did last time and each table this time had all the ingredients and supplies for making their own crust, as well as a mysterious box marked; "Open only in case of emergency".

"Good morning everyone! We're continuing to work with pie crusts because they are the most important, and most difficult element of the pie. It's a pretty basic part of pie, and adding small ingredients like more salt for a savory pie, or more sugar for a sweet, can make all the difference. There are different kinds of crusts as well other than the one that was demonstrated in the film, such as a graham cracker or saltine cracker crust. Last week, the film focused on the basics of crust making for the traditional kind of crust and at your stations there are the supplies to make it, as well as instructions from the show. If you mess up on your crust don't worry. There are boxes at each of your stations that will help if you do. Try not to use the words 'tender'." A puppet suddenly appeared and smacked him in the head. "....or 'flakey'," Arashi winced as one appeared on the otherside, then both promptly disappeared. "The Danger Shop seemed to think last weeks video was rather hilarious. Work with a partner, follow the instructions hand waving the part about refrigerating the dough, have fun, try not to burn the place down or get punched out by the puppets."

Maybe he should have included instructions on the ovens....? Nah.

[Plz wait for ocd ETA: The "Emergency Box" contains a pre-made pie crust if you mess up.]

Bart held out an open bag, looking at the goop like it might try to eat him. "Can't we just use the box?"

Anemone gave Bart The Look. The one that had quelled members of the U.F. Force and uppity scientists for years. "No. If we don't figure this out, we can't make our own pies later. Besides, I'm pretty sure the dough is not sentient." She shook the food processor until the last bits fell into the bag. "See? It didn't protest. We win."

Crossing off the previously done sections of the instructions, Anemone grinned. "Now we wait until chilled pound it to death! Violence!" Holding up the rolling pin reverently, she winked at Bart. "Would my Knight of Crust care to do the honors?"

Bart ducked and looked for a place to hide. She was scary!

"Okay..." And then, fear forgotten completely, because it had already been ages ago, he bounced and took the rolling pin to thwack the pie dough into submission. ...it couldn't end well for anyone.

Yeah, unleashing Bart with the rolling pin probably wasn't her best idea ever, but Anemone appeared unconcerned as she continued perusing the directions. "Why are pies round? What if I want to make a square pie? Or a triangle? My creative impulses are being stifled."

Bart paused long enough to think that over. Quite the accomplishment, really.

"Do we have those shapes for pans?"
