fandomhigh | Survive Your Own Cooking - 3rd period

Today Deadpool was in mittens and had a nice, warm hat on. It wasn't cold enough to warrant that, really, but he thought it helped the class.

And it insulated his hands when touching hot things! It was a win/win.

"So, the days are getting shorter and chillier and you know what we all want to eat around this time of year?" A beat. "Other than donuts. Or fried chicken. Or turkey."

He could really keep going on this.

Deadpool shook his head. "Soup! I meant soup! The kind that is a bubbling cauldron of deliciousness that sits on the stove for hours on end! With bits of animal bones in it and smells vaguely of many a spice."

Now he wanted the damn soup.

"So, we're going to us that skill with boiling water today kiddos! You split up and pick what kind of stock you want your soup base to be--because we don't have the time to get you to make your own, even though Alton Brown is rolling in his grave with Betty Crocker-- and then you can make whatever soup strikes your fancy!"

A beat.

"But not Gazpacho. Even though it's delicious. It's a cold soup and that defeats the entire purpose."

He cleared his throat. "Try not to scald yourselves horribly during this!"

There was beef, pork, chicken, fish, and yes... vegetable stock waiting to be picked.

And a variety of ~~zomgmodable~~ vegetables and noodles to put in the soups!

Hurley eyed the ingredients and started thinking.

Mainly, he was thinking about fried chicken, thanks to the little mention the teacher had given.

Marco glanced around for a partner who wouldn't mind the concept of "toss everything in the pot and see what happens".

Something about the way that other guy was looking around for a partner told Cal that the two of them might be on the right wavelength. He worked his way over, still on his crutches although his shins were feeling better, and said, "So. Soup."

"Boil water and add stuff?" Marco guessed. "Dude, why the crutches?"

"I think that's all there is to it, yeah," Cal said, nodding slightly as he eyed the soup pot. "Good thing we covered boiling water, huh?"

There was a pause where he decided whether or not to say anything about the crutches.

"Don't even ask about the crutches, man..."

Ned hadn't made soup in...forever but he didn't think it would be that hard. It was just pie...in liquid form.

Yeah, right.

Who needed vegetables? Yurika grabbed a thing of beef stock and bounced as she looked around for a ~~victim~~ partner.

Sam took the beef and the vegetable stock, and thought about what vegetables to add to his soup as he waited for a partner.

He had no idea why he was so cold today. He blamed the drop in temperature in Chicago.

Hurley raised his hand and waited.

Deadpool eyed him for the hand raising thing for a moment. Then remembered this was a classroom and that was what polite children did.

...Madrox broke what little bit of faith he had in kids these days.

"Less chubby than Sheppard, yes?"
