Today we're making pie!" Steve said happily. "Good pie, without fish in it."

"Or any meat. Or meat jelly," Tony added. Because fancy dinner parties still had those on occasion. "Today, your signature bake should be your best, most decorative fruit pie. You can pick any fruit you like best. We're just excited to get pie for breakfast here."

"Breakfast pie!" Steve echoed. He was a man who enjoyed the simple pleasures. "But first, let's judge those gingerbread castles, okay?"

"Oh right!" How could he have forgotten about the gingerbread castles? "We'll do that while you make fruit pies. And then after the fruit pies, you'll do your technical challenge of making us a pumpkin pie."

"With nuts on top," Steve added, nodding.

"This is going to be a great tasting day," Tony sighed.

"We have faith," Steve said, smiling at Yelena.

Bettering Your Community & Yourself, period 3

Jon looked...well, he almost never looked good, but he looked particularly ragged today. Which might be why class had been asked to meet outside Theodoric's instead of at Portalocity.

"So far, we've been focusing on bettering the world around us," Jon said, scrubbing his less-scarred hand over his face. "Today we're focusing on bettering ourselves. I have been...repeatedly assured that this involves 'self care'." He didn't actually make the air quotes, at least, but you could probably hear them. "So today we're visiting the spa. You can get a massage, have a manicure or pedicure, or just sit in the sauna. Whatever is most likely to help you improve yourself."

He opened his mouth, realized he had no idea what else he could possibly add to that, and simply waved everybody in.

Cutter and Connor had been busy all week doing some work for Prospero that by the time the week’s class had come round, they still hadn’t finished. It was just Cutter standing in front of the class today, Connor staying back at the apartment to finish up the work that was needing to be done.

“Mr. Temple sends his apologies for not making it to class,” Cutter started and then looking a little sheepish went on, “and I actually don’t have anything prepared for class so I thought we would take it easy today and have a movie day,” he said as he went to turn the movie on.
