Anyone Can Cook, Tuesday, Period 4

[thetoughestcook]

Colette was hungry as the students arrived today, which might explain why she kept looking longingly at the bowls of crepe fillings.

"Bonjour," she said. "I saw a few of you at the Boards Benefit in the park Saturday; I hope you all enjoyed sampling the cuisine of the island. I thought the Thai food was surprisingly good -- and of course the sandwiches prepared by Monsieur Priestly." He got a smile, there.

"Today, we need to plan the Thanksgiving menu so we can give a shopping list to the student counsel. I looked at the preferences of those of you who expressed them, and I hope I was able to put everyone into a category that they will find enjoyable." She glanced down at a list as she read. "Chuck and Kyle, you will make the appetizers. Emma and Jean, please prepare a vegetable side dish or two. Layla and Sam are on the starchy side dishes. Joan, Liir and Kate can make salads. Helen and George Sands are our bakers, and Priestly and Sookie will be in charge of dessert. Priestly, I have one other thing I wanted to ask you about."

"I thought we could spend some time discussing what dishes we might make. I've found a few sample Thanksgiving menus. I'd like for each group to tell me what you plan to make by the end of class."

"Once you have come to a decision, you may make and fill crepes as a treat." She quickly demonstrated a crepes recipe, breaking eggs and whipping them with flour before browning it on a griddle, filling her sample with sliced bananas and a dollop of Nutella. "We have fruits, chocolate, ham, cheese ... you can put almost anything in a crepe and it will taste magnifique."

Plan Thanksgiving Menu - discussion [11/17]

[thetoughestcook]

What do we have to have?

What grosses you out?

Ping off each other! Nothing is as traditional as arguing about food.

5. Bread - Helen, George Sands
6. Dessert - Priestly, Sookie

Hey, this group thing was probably going to work out okay. They'd already cooked for a party together once.

Kate looked around for Joan and Liir.

"Aw, man, I gotta work with you two?" Joan joked.

Sookie thought this would probably work out just fine. Plus, okay, she was internally bouncing at getting to make dessert.

"Okay, so we totally need at least, like, four types of pie."

Priestly was a fan of pie, clearly.

Helen looked around for George.

Oh god, the Chef really did hate her. Emma was just going to look at the menu ideas and sulk.

Because Emma couldn't cook to save her life, of course. "Emma." Be strong, Jean.

Be strong.

Starchy side dishes seemed simple enough, and with Layla's help, Sam might even be able to let the hundreds of things on his mind keep him from setting anything on fire.

Cook! [11/17]

[thetoughestcook]

Make and eat crepes. Mmm, crepes.

Re: Cook! [11/17]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen had never made nor eaten anything like crepes before and she was amazed at how easy and delicious they were!

Talk to Colette [11/17]

[thetoughestcook]

She can't stop making crepes. It's like an addiction.

Re: Talk to Colette [11/17]

[vanillajello]

As promised, Kate came over to talk to Colette, an open box of fresh chocolate chip muffins in hand. "Chef? Have a muffin."

Re: Talk to Colette [11/17]

[thetoughestcook]

Colette selected one and broke off a bit. "This is to make up for the class you missed, yes?"

Re: Talk to Colette [11/17]

[lovemykilt]

Priestly wasn't sure what other thing Colette might have to talk to him about, but he was still a little giddy about her complimenting his sandwiches in front of the whole class, so there was no worry-face going on.

"'Sup, Mme. Chef?"

Re: Talk to Colette [11/17]

[thetoughestcook]

"Sup," Colette echoed, amused. "Priestly, do you know what a sous-chef is?"

Re: Talk to Colette [11/17]

Of course Jean had to hang back to talk to the teacher after class. "Miss Tatou?"

Re: Talk to Colette [11/17]

[likethegun]

When there was a break in class, Sam went over to Colette.

"Um, excuse me ma'am?" Sam said politely. "I wanted to apologize for missing class last week." Maybe, if he smiled nicely, she wouldn't think it had to do with the black eye he was currently sporting.

Talk to the TAs [11/17]

[thetoughestcook]

Once they have tagged in.

Re: Talk to the TAs [11/17]

Priestly was here, with a crepe so full of banana, strawberries, and kiwi that it kind of looked like it was about to fall apart.

OOC [11/17]

Writing this class always makes me wish it was lunchtime.
