There Will Be Cake [Tuesday, Period Three]

[doubleohblonde]

The kitchen was back to normal this week, but the class might have noticed that there were quite a few cartons of eggs set up on the benches. Also a number of potatoes.

"Good afternoon, class," Bond began. "Today we'll be tackling two dishes that once you have the fundamentals down of, allow for almost endless variations. The omelette and the frittata."

"At its heart, the omelette is a very simple dish, beaten eggs quickly cooked in a pan over high heat, with fillings added near the end of cooking, however it does need a careful hand when cooking it, else you'll end up with a basic scrambled egg instead. Still edible, just less attractive to look at. So if I may have your attention I'll demonstrate the correct technique."

Once Bond had finished his demonstration, he continued. "Now the frittata is like the omelette in that it's an egg based dish cooked in a pan, but it also differs in that you start with a few more base ingredients, usually potatoes and onion, and in how it's cooked, first on the stove over low heat to set the base, then finished either in the oven or under the grill."

"Now, for today's class I'd like you to make both an omelette and a frittata according to the base recipes I've given you, but those of you who feel confident in the basic techniques may also experiment with adding in extra fillings to either."

Library, Wednesday, All Day

[3girls-1core.livejournal.com]

...There was nothing weird going on in the library today. No books wandering, no inexplicable floods, no random appearances of food--nothing. In was nice to have a shift where she could just read and not have to play peacemaker or anything but she was still keeping an eye out for anything weird, just in case.

Supernatural Studies, Wednesday, Period 1

"Welcome to class," Jack offered, leaning as usual against his desk. "This was going to be a session on the 'noisy spirits' known as poltergeists, but after last weekend that seems a bit -- well, a bit on the nose. I can't completely throw the lesson plan out the window, but I can offer the lightest film on the topic I found. It's about a man whose first wife finds a way to make her displeasure known from beyond the grave; despite that, it's actually funny. We'll come back for a more in-depth discussion next week."

And with that, he put a DVD in the player. Who said teaching couldn't be easy?

Friendship 101, Wednesday, Period 2

[locointhecoco]

Today's classroom was not entirely unlike last week's, though the floor and walls were far more soft and squishy than they were bouncy, as might be evidenced by the fact that instead of (quite literally) bouncing off the walls, Pinkie was instead sitting patiently in the middle of the room with a stack of cards in her mouth.

Don't worry, those wouldn't be too slobbery when it came time to pass them out.

We hoped.

Derek looked as surly as always next to her, hands in his pockets because he wasn't allowed to do anything with the cards. Oh no, not after the locker room fiasco. "Friends compliment each other," he ground out. "But also offer criticism to help each other."

Pinkie smiled around the cards and started trotting around to the students, nudging them with her head if necessary to get them to take one from the stack. When every student present had one, she smiled again and threw her front hooves into the air. "Today, you're going to practice offering constructive criticism! You each got something to critique your partner on, so pair up and get started! Ooo! Ooo! But your partner says something that you think feels mean and not friendly enough, then hit them with a bat!"

She whipped a brightly colored foam bat out of nowhere and waved it cheerfully in the air.

"Pinkie's voice is grating," Derek said as an example. Yes. An example. Pinkie whacked him in the knee with the bat.

"Derek's criticism was honest," she explained to the class, as she started manifesting and stacking up enough foam bats for everyone to use, "but kinda mean. He didn't even address it to me!"

That didn't stop him from smirking at least. "Get into pairs."

"And have fun!" said Pinkie. "Nopony likes a grumpy gus!" Derek.
