Living On Your Own, Friday, Period 1

Tyler was not wearing his pink, frilly apron today. He took class much more seriously.

Instead, it was one with a tuxedo print.

He seemed in high spirits as he waited for the students to gather, and if his movements were a little stiff, you'd have to know him well to notice. The bruise on his cheek, though -- that was a little harder to miss.

"Happy Friday," he greeted. "We are cooking today. Cooking's important, both because it's cheaper than going out all the time, and because it's safer -- if you cook for yourself, you know what's in the food." This was perhaps more important to Tyler than it was to most people. "And don't say you can't cook, ninety percent of it is just following directions and I know you can all read."

"Today we're going to make chili and then Meg will show you how to bake brownies. Chili's a great specialty to have because the ingredients are cheap, most people like it, it's easy, and it stores well, so you can make a huge batch and eat it all week." He demonstrated the steps to preparing a simple chili, and handed out recipes for that and for vegetarian chili. Once the pot of chili was bubbling away, he added, "and now, after my TA demonstrates, it's your turn to cook. Ingredients are at the workstations back there. Work alone or in pairs. And if you get into a food fight, you get to clean it up." He did have his limits.

Meg would most certainly share her brownies. If she didn't eat them all herself first.

Having, somehow, succeeded with chili -- in so far as, it was quite edible, and not bad at all, really -- Alice approached their TA and smiled, bobbing her a quick curtsy.

"I've no idea if you'd be interested," she said, "but I seem to have rather a lot of chili, and you seem to have quite a few brownies, and I was wondering if perhaps you'd like to make some sort of trade?"

"I'd definitely be interested in a trade. I have more brownies than I know what to do with," she said. Actually, that was a lie, she knew what to do with the brownies. She had a boyfriend who would eat anything she baked, after all. "Feel free to help yourself to as many brownies as you want."

"Oh, thank you," Alice beamed, taking two that seemed to be of a decent size but not too enormous, let's not impose on her kindness. "And would you like some chili? I promise, this isn't nearly as bad as one might imagine, given my history with cooking."

Meg grinned. "I'd love some."
