How to Survive Your Own Cooking, Class 5
"Good day, class!" Lulu said, smiling brightly. "Today's class is a little bit simpler than last week's. We'll be making soup rather than stew. You'll find everything you need at your stations. The principles are much the same, except that, as a broth-based soup, it will be much thinner than the stew.
"One thing to know is that, like last week, we'll be using lentils and rice. An important thing to know is that, even on their own, lentils and rice together form what is known as a complete protein -- that is, a source from vegetables that is equivalent to the protein one would normally get from meat. You can even make this soup in a vegetarian version by leaving out the chicken, and using vegetable bouillon instead, although I recommend using more garlic if you do so."
Recipe 1: Chicken Vegetable Soup
[Source: Personal.]
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced (or more to taste)
1 medium onion, diced
1 chicken breast, diced
3 medium potatoes, diced
1 medium turnip, diced
3 carrots, diced
1 cup lentils
1 cup rice
1 tbsp powdered chicken bouillon
1 stalk celery, diced
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
sage, rosemary, basil, salt, and pepper
Heat oil in a small frypan. Saute garlic and onion until translucent. In large pot, cover chicken, potatoes, turnip, and carrots with water. Bring to boil, and simmer for twenty minutes. Add lentils, rice, and bouillon. Bring back to boil and simmer additional ten minutes. Add celery, mixed vegetables, and seasonings (to taste). Bring back to boil and simmer additional ten to fifteen minutes.
Serve with country biscuits or a crusty white bread.
"Also," Lulu added, "if you have any questions about any of the cooking terms -- or about any cooking procedures -- please feel free to ask. That way leads to less... kitchen disasters."
[OCDwill be up in a moment is up! I'm around for a couple of hours, then off working on a class project from about 2:30 to 8:30 Eastern. Although I should then be around for the rest of the evening!]

"It's pretty simple. What do you need to know?"
Re: Pair Up [Class 5]
Considering the yumminess of the cookie he'd sampled on Sunday, he had absolute confidence in Liir's culinary ability. That, and the only experience Tamaki had in a kitchen setting was what he'd gotten from the past four classes.
Re: Pair Up [Class 5]
"Certainly. How would you like to divide the work?"
Re: Pair Up [Class 5]
"It's hard for the Host Club King to admit his shortcomings," he began, "But I know very little of the kitchen - only what I've been shown in class. Is there something you think I should start with?"
Re: Pair Up [Class 5]
"You might want to start on the smaller end of the larger vegetables," he said, pointing to the carrots. "From there, cut up the turnip, then the potatoes and the celery. I'll dice up the onion and the garlic, wash and cut the chicken, and then get to glassing the those two."
