20th Century Food Crimes, Cont. - Friday 8/18 - Period 1

[stykera]

"For our final class," said Summer, with a little bit of a mewling frown because weren't you all so sad? This was the last class! And surely there would be no other opportunities to have Summer inflict weird, weird recipes on you ever again after this. Heartbreaking!, "I decided we'd have a look at the allegedly most important meal of the day: breakfast."

Stark was a little sad it was the last class, actually. Maybe more than a little. He liked having classes with Summer. “I do like breakfast,” he said, foolishly hopeful. He’d very much enjoyed breakfast last Sunday.

"Starting with tuna waffles. They are exactly what they sound like, and a good way to transition into assuring you that at least the banana scallops do not actually involve scallops, but they do involve bananas."

“The waffles have fish but the bananas don’t, this time?” Stark checked. He just wanted to be sure. Had he just inspired tuna and banana waffles to appear at a later time? Maybe. “Wouldn’t it be better to have no fish for breakfast?”

"Come on," said Summer brightly," we live on an island! On the Atlantic coast! Fish should be featuring in all our meals more prominently, really. Sustainability, and all that good stuff!”

“I don’t think you even believe that,” Stark told her. “I don’t think you really want fish in desserts. Not to eat.”

Summer just smiled at him sweetly, offering no comment or opinion, only moving on to the last offering. "And, finally, we have an…interesting twist on the classic Eggs Benedict by making it….with cream of chicken soup, because why not?"

“Because that’s not what that sauce ought to be made of at all?” Stark suggested. Not that he really knew much about hollandaise. Maybe they ought to do brunch some weekend. For educational purposes.

"It's usually eggs yolks, butter, and lemon!" she offered, helpfully, because this was a class where you were to learn things. "So definitely not! Although whether or not this is an improvement is something we can discuss once we all give it a try."

Getting Out of Scrapes - Fast, Friday

[suitably_heroic]

Atton... was not in class today.

And the danger shop looked like a nice French bistro. Each table had a little card sitting on it that read 'sit down, order a snack, it's been a month'.

That, apparently, was all you were going to get this week.

Movie night, Friday

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

"So, it's the last evening," Jon said. "I hope you've enjoyed the films so far. I, um. I am considering doing something like this again, so let me know if you're interested. Tonight's film is supposed to be a classic, although I'm not sure why, as I've never seen it. So eat some popcorn and have some fun. I hope."

And then there was the film.

Sorry, Amaya.

Library - Friday

[onlyajones]

Jo turned up for her first library shift in two weeks, she was extremely tired and had almost decided to not turn up but she felt bad since she had already missed the last couple of shifts and it gave her something to focus on other than the nightmares that she had about the pool and her time at Malory Towers.

She was just glad that there were a lot of books to reshelve that week so that it gave her something to keep her occupied that morning.
