Home Ec, Period 3 Tuesday

Hoshi waited for everyone to arrive before starting. "Lulu had something come up, so you guys get to deal with me instead," she began. "Today, we're going to be cooking with rice. It's a pretty basic staple found in cuisines all over the world, so it's always a good thing to have on hand. You can make so many things with it, from arroz con pollo to biryani to congee. We're going to make something as little less exotic today, but if you want any recipes, let me know."

She passed out a handout before continuing. "Butternut squash risotto is great at this time of year. Squash looks like a scary ingredient to work with, but all you really have to do is cut it in half, remove the seeds, peel the skin and dice it. If you've carved a pumpkin before, then you can handle squash. With the risotto, the key is to thoroughly coat the rice with oil and cook it a bit before slowly adding the stock. I'd suggest you work in pairs so you can divide the work up."

Lecture

Take notes, pass notes, chat with your neighbor, or whatever you do.

Francine did the taking-notes one, though she wasn't a huge squash fan. Hey, you never know - her future husband might be!

Sam made a face. Ew, squash.

Hoshi noticed Sam making a face and laughed. "It's not that bad, really," she said.

Pair up and cook!

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

Or at least give it a try. Hoshi will be happy to help if you run into problems.

Harry thought this dish sounded way too healthy. Still, he was willing to give it a shot. That way he'd know just how healthy tasting it was and how to avoid it.

Talk To Hoshi

Who has a data PADD with tons of additional recipes to share.

Lulu-mun picked the right day to ask for help, because I just accidentally made risotto while trying to make chicken soup with rice.

I am aroundish all day but possibly slow to respond since I'm still a little sick. You can definitely give me a poke if you need Hoshi for something.
