How to Survive Your Own Cooking, Class 6

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

"I thought I'd give you all something of a fun class before the mid-term next week," Lulu said. "At each of the stations, you'll find both a typical pizza crust and a loaf of focaccia. Choose one or the other, top as you wish from the fully moddable toppings here at the front of the class, bake them in the already-preheated ovens, and then at the end of the class we'll have a contest for the best-topped flatbread." She grinned, an uncharacteristically wide smile. "Remember that not all pizzas require a tomato-based sauce, so try cream- or oil-based ones if you like. Also, focaccias tend not to have a sauce in the way that pizzas do, although you are free to experiment there if you wish.

"If you're not familiar with either focaccia or pizza, there are handouts at your station as well for you to read before you begin. If any of you have questions or concerns," and here she eyed a few of the students who had been... having difficulties, "please, please approach me."

"I'd like to give you a reminder as well: next week is your mid-term. You will be required to prepare a full meal, three courses -- salad, soup, and entree -- of your choice. You are notpermitted to use recipes directly from this class. The library, I'm sure, has a wide collection of cookbooks, and the internet as well has many resources for recipes. Find them, and then bring them in for next week. I'll be providing the dessert for the meal. Feel free to invite your friends to share in the food -- I imagine that many of them will need the break during the week."

[OCD will be up in a moment is up! I apologize for the lame-ish class, but I slept in today, and so it's a bit of a rush job. ^^;; Also, mmm pizza.]

He took the time to read over the information on the sheets. It wasn't entirely different from some of the things he'd made up at Kiamo Ko, but it wasn't anything all that familiar.

Mikey loves this class. So. Much. He's bouncing. A lot.

Ooh, that bread thing was a little different for Chad, and he'd never really bothered making pizza before (because why bother when you could just order it?), so he could really dig this particular class.

Sam kept his head down for most of the class, doing his best to hide the fact that his face was still blue from religion class.

Tamaki was excited about commoner pizza. It was something he'd only read about, and he wondered if it was in the same league as "hot dogs" and "nachos."

Sweet. Pizza. Harry was looking forward to this.

Pair Up [Class 6]

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

I'm sure one of you wants to pair up with Mikey for this class. ;)

Carmela bounces a bit in her chair as she looks around for a partner.

[ETA: Am heading to work shortly, but will be around after 4 PST]

Liir looked around for anyone who might want to partner up.

Mikey bounced and waved at everyone in the room and bounced some more and everything was awesome and they were going to make pizza and that was awesome too hooray hooray hooray!

He was already plotting the toppings. Anchovies and pepperoni and jellybeans and marshmallows and chocolate sauce and four kinds of cheese and olives and dill pickles and did he mention this class was awesome?

It totally was.

[As per the norm, sadly I leave for work in about an hour and will be absent for a good nine hours afterward. But slowplay afterward is shiny, right? It totally is.]

Haku looked around the class for a partner, he definitly had some ideas for what to make the pizza with.

Chad oh-so-timely glanced around for who to pair up with today.

Assignment: Pizza and Focaccia! [Class 6]

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

Again, no sub OCD. Just have at the flatbread!

"I was hoping we might get to try that expert dough spinning thing," Shawn said poking at the pizza base. "Would've been messy, but probably fun."

Re: Assignment: Pizza and Focaccia! [Class 6]

[snow-white-boy.livejournal.com]

Haku walked with Tamaki over to a table and grabbed a fococcia, chicken, feta, pesto sauce, bacon, pine nuts, tomatoes and mozzorella. "How do these look to you for toppings?"

After preparing his ingredients (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1688938.html?thread=103861866#t103869546), he started putting together the pizza.

The light layer of freshly-made tomato and pepper spread, lightly seasoned, was put onto the bread first. After that, slices of chicken carefully sauteed. The cheese went on next, mostly mozzarella, followed by the mushrooms and the spinach.

Liir was there, grinning and looking around curiously for anyone who might need him.

Speak to Lulu [Class 6]

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

She's there, watching over everyone. And at the end of class, too, munching on a few of the different pizzas and foccacias.

OOC [Class 6]

[mistressofblack.livejournal.com]

My supper beak today is totally going to consist of a pit-stop at Little Caesars. Thank you. :P
