Magic of Baking [Week 2, Period 3]

When students filed into the Home Ec room, they'd notice that instead of Alysha, a younger and less confident blonde would be leading class today. Sookie stood at the front of the classroom, about a dozen muffins on a platter before her. She'd done her homework, thanks.

"Hey, everyone!" Sookie said, waving cheerfully and keeping her shields as steadfastly in place as she could. "Um, Ms. Gale couldn't make it today, so I'm going to fill in. For those who don't know, or don't remember me from last week, or whatever, I'm Sookie. And since last week we did cupcakes -- or decorated them, at least -- I figured this week we'd go with something similar to kind of go with 'em: muffins."

She picked up a perfectly-crafted blueberry muffin, showing it to the class. "This little guy is like a cupcake you can eat for breakfast. They often have fruit and nuts and things, but sometimes you can just make straight-up chocolate muffins, and those are good, too. And again, basically naked cupcakes that you can get away with eating for breakfast."

She clapped her hands together, and gestured to a stack of papers. "Figured we'd take it kind of easy today. Pick out a muffin recipe that you think is suited to your skill level, and try and make a full dozen of them. Ingredients are moddable in the fridge or pantry, and feel free to work with a partner. I'm around if you need help."

She paused, and worriedly added, "Please don't set yourselves on fire if you can help it."

Karla wasn't entirely certain why there were jalapenos in the fridge, but she was just going to go for it. They were a requirement for her muffins and she was going to use them.

There were only a few left, and they looked pretty small, so Karla decided to use them all, rather than leaving one or two behind to spoil. It was like the produce equivalent of leaving a few tablespoons of milk left in the jug.

Of course, Karla hadn't realized just what cutting jalapenos was like. "My hands are burning!" she whimpered, halfway through cutting up the first one. Also, the watering of her eyes made it hard to set the temperature on the oven correctly.

475 was close enough, right?
