fandomhigh | Magic of Baking: Week 3, Period 3

Alysha was still cursing (but not too loudly, even 1,000 miles away, that was just asking for trouble) the 'family emergency' that had dragged her back home last week. It was less an 'emergency' than the aunties being a little peckish, and it would have been much more manageable if she hadn't just been back for the Ritual on May 1.

"Welcome back, everybody," she said, once they were assembled in the Home Ec room. "I'm sorry I couldn't be here last week, and thank you very much to Sookie for ably taking over the class. We're going to continue our look at the simpler baked goods today by making cookies. Cookies are generally pretty easy. You cream butter with sugar, add flour and any other ingredients and bake 'em for about 10 minutes." Alysha, as always, had a view of baking that didn't really include the possibility of failure.

"If you haven't made cookies before or you're not comfortable with it, I'd suggest you stick with making chocolate chip cookies or snickerdoodles today. They both have just a few ingredients and don't require anything more than a spoon to mix. If you have more experience or you're just feeling adventurous, choose a recipe from the book on the table and go to. Anything you need is either already on the tables or in the refrigerator. The butter's already softened and on your workstations as are copies of both the chocolate chip and snickerdoodle recipes."

"Any questions for the class? Okay, find a partner to work with if you like, and i'll be wandering around if you run into any troubles."

Or ask questions or fall asleep in the butter or ...

Karla snagged the snickerdoodle recipe and examined it.

Ha!

She knew snickerdoodles weren't really made of people!

Rilla decided that snickerdoodle was a completely made up word.

Sara was reasonably certain that snickerdoodle was a made-up word, but she kept repeating it to herself as she looked over the recipe, experimenting with the sound of it. You could make it sound like an insult, or a mystery, or the funniest thing in the world, or . . .

Alex listened to the lecture, trying to decide what recipe to try. She'd helped Jamie make chocolate chip cookies last week -- maybe she'd make those today.

Cookies. Not quite her arch-baking-nemesis since she'd helped Jaime (once), but still, Momoko glared at the recipes book.

She was totally making the easy ones.
