Food Appreciation [Class Fifteen, Period #3]

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Marshall looked kind of sad today. He was going to miss this class. Now he had to find another excuse to order one of everything off the Ching Tai menu because "research" probably wasn't going to cut it anymore.

"Hey guys, welcome to the last class. It's time to administer the final, which I hope has been less stressful than the other ones you might have had," he said. "Everyone come up to the front of the class one at a time with the food you've chosen and say a little bit about what you like about it. Then we get to eat."

Mmm eating. That brought his mood up a bit.

"And let me just say that this has been an awesome class to teach. Not only because, you know, I hardly had to do any work and I just got to eat food the whole time. But because you guys were awesome," he said. "I hope to see you guys in another class or around town or something. I don't feel bad about serving you booze at the bar now that I'm not going to be your teacher anymore."

He didn't feel too badly before, but still. He would have felt bad if he was responsible for a kid's hangover.

"So let's get started, shall we?"

Listen To The Lecture

Aww. Marshall's sadfacing.

Alex was going to miss this class A LOT. She'd totally sign up for whatever Marshall ended up teaching next (if he was going to teach again), because he was totally her favorite teacher by far.

Aw, Amber loved Marshall's class and didn't like his sadfacing. He was a super teacher and she was going to miss him. A lot.

Ned didn't often wish that classes went on longer than they should but he'd really liked this one. He wished it'd been longer.

Hoshi was sadfacing, too. She was going to miss this class. She doubted that Starfleet would offer food classes as part of their cadet orientation.

Priestly resolutely told himself he would not go give his teacher a hug.

No matter how much Marshall kinda looked like he needed one.

Harry was pretty sure he was done with formal education after this. The fact that any further education would likely not involve him getting credit for stuffing his face only made him even more ok with this fact.

Final time!

Come up to the front of the class and say a little bit about the food you brought.

Re: Final time!

Viki had brought a rather large array of many kinds of sandwiches.

"Sandwiches," she informed him (and them, she supposed), "as there are so many different kinds that you could hardly ever get sick of them no matter how long you've been eating them--and I should know, all things considered, though there's no accounting for taste--and they're very terribly easy to transport and depending on what you put on them, they can last for a goodly while as well. That's about all, I would assume, though I don't like to, unless there was a problem with my choice of food?"

"So, um, I really like you, Mr---- Marshall, and you're one of the coolest teachers ever?" She... actually wasn't sucking up. "But I think it's totally unfair of you to make us pick one favorite food. Just for the record."

Francine pulled a rather large cooler-bag off her shoulder. "So I picked ice cream because at least you can't make me choose just one flavor."

Plop. Half-pint of Cherry Garcia on the desk. Plop. Half-pint of Karamel Sutra. Plop. Half-pint of Phish Food. Plop. Chunky Monkey. Plop. Chubby Hubby. Plop. Mission to Marzipan. Plop -- no seriously, is it scientifically possible for that many containers of ice cream to even fit in that bag? It's like a clown car! Plop. Jamaican Me Crazy. THUD. ...That was the Half-Baked. There was a pint of that.

"Tacos! You can put all sorts of stuff in them!" Marco said cheerfully. "And if can't eat stuff you can just skip it and they taste good."

"I brought pizza," Jen said sheepishly. "Mostly because, yeah, I work at Pizza Planet, but also because believe me, you really don't want me cooking. Not to mention that I have a pretty sentimental attachment to pizza, since I pretty much lived off of it for a year when my, er, roommates and I couldn't afford to buy groceries . . ."

She trailed off, scratched at her ear, and gestured to the stack of boxes. "And it's really a versatile food. I mean, have you seen the list of toppings?"

Uh oh, out came the notecards.

And the laptop. With the Powerpoint presentation.

No, seriously, there was a Powerpoint.

Someone had better stop her before it started up . . .

"Mini cheeseburgers!" she announced. "They are by far my favorite lunch and or dinner time meal. Or even for a snack. You just can't go wrong ever, with cheeseburgers."

And she had brought a large platter in, piled high.

"I brought a pie." Like there was a doubt. He'd tried for something different but it was just impossible. "More specifically a mudslide pie (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/mudslide-pie-recipe2/index.html). There's all different kinds of varieties and I'd just made this for a club and it was really good so I made it again. I figured most people would like chocolate. Pies can be sweet or sour or light or rich. There's really no limit. You just gotta get creative."

Hurley had two big buckets of fried chicken, which he set down.

"Hey dudes," he said. "I used to work at a chicken place, in California? But that wasn't what made me like chicken. I mean, I sorta worked there because I like chicken. It's crispy, and tasty, and you know how everyone says stuff tastes like chicken? I like to think fried chicken is kinda its own thing. Only it tastes like it does. And it tastes awesome. So... dig in."

"Frozen pizza," Peyton said. "With all the crazy add-ons you could possibly want. After... after my mom died it was all my dad knew how to cook, so... it became kind of special at our house."

"I brought macaroni and cheese," Sam said. "It's great because if you want to get really fancy with like different kinds of cheeses or weird pastas, you can and it turns out great, but if you're running low on money and you just want something hot, you can get the cheap stuff and it tastes even better. It's kind of my go-to comfort food."

"I brought pie," Dean said, referring to the two fruit pies sitting on the table in front of him with an entire can of Redi-whip. "Because y'know it's pretty much the perfect food. Although bacon cheeseburgers aren't bad either. Or steak. Or chocolate. Or... well there's a lot of food that has something to say for it."

"Omigod, I can't believe you made us pick just one," Claudia whined, pulling boxes of Ho Hos (http://img.foodnetwork.com/FOOD/2004/04/13/sd1e01_homemade_ho_hos_lg.jpg) from her insanely colorful bag, then adjusting her pink cowboy hat (What? It totally went with her leather fringed micro-mini skirt. And the brown Uggs) before beginning to speak.

"Okay, these are Ho Hos? And despite the, you know, totally unfortunate name? They are sooooooo good? Because they're chocolate and cream and don't get powdered sugar all over you like donuts can? And are totally portable? And are good even if they're all smushed because you hid them in your desk drawer so your bitchy vegetarian friend wouldn't be all judgey?"

Eat!

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

I'd say for the last time but...you know.

Re: Eat!

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

She was very simply going to settle in and eat one of the sandwiches she had brought. Mmmm.

Talk to the TA

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

When she pings in.

Re: Talk to the TA

[thatsamilkshake]

That was probably chocolate sauce on the tip of her nose. Either that, or she actually was sucking up to the teacher.

No, that would be the next thread.

Talk To Marshall

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Who was in a better mood now that there was food around.

Re: Talk To Marshall

[thatsamilkshake]

"Okay so you know I'm not really mad at you about making us pick a favorite food, right?" Francine had to check. Though that wasn't why she came over to bug him.

OOC

Thanks for being such a fantabulous class and putting up with my not-teaching ;)
