Home Ec is Outrageous!; Monday, Period Five [ 07/19 ].
Today was a very exciting day in the outrageous world of home ec! Today was cooking! Plus, Aquaman was back to his usual, chipper self, thanks to not being hungover and having spent an oh-so-conveniently-timed weekend back home in Atlantis to attend his son's dolphin polo match.
This was also a class that made Aquaman glad that he was the one teaching it. Not that he wanted to sound skeptical of his students skills, especially since nothing was charred last semester, but he was glad this was all going to happen under the watchful eye of someone who could easily manipulate water to put out flames.
"Hello, my adventurous academics!" As mentioned, the usual Aquaman vigor was back, but there was something new to his usual attair. Over his iconic orange shirt and the green tights, he wore a very nice apron. And, in his hands, he held ready a spatula and a whisk. "I hope you've got your culinary creativity ready today, because we'll be working on cooking! Food is essential to our survival, and it can also contribute greatly to our happiness! There are few things as satisfying and simple as providing a well-prepared, well-balanced meal for your loved ones!"
He set down the spatula, took up a marker, and turned to the dry erase board:
"Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all! --Harriet Van Horne"
Proudly, he turned back to the classroom. "As long as you try, even if what you come up with is inedible, it was still made with love and that's what counts!"
Apparently, according to Aquaman, you could sustain yourself on love and good intentions alone. Of course, he had yet to sample any of his students' cooking...
"We will be partnering up for this activity, my young chefs, because preparing food can be a great activity to do with others. Bonding with baking! Comaradarie with cooking! So, find a friend to work with and then come get from me your black boxes! You won't know what ingredients are within until you get them, but, once you do, you must go through and plan three courses of a meal around those ingedients: a starter, a main course, and a delectable dessert! After you've put together your menu, attempt to make what you can! Since we have limited time, you are only expected to try one part of your menu, but if you can do more, by all means!"
"As we get toward the end of class, we will share whatever of our dishes might be finished. If you're feeling a little stuck, I've brought in some fine cookbooks to help!"
With that, Aquaman took up his mighty spatula again. "So pair up and bon apetit, ravenous little renegate! Let's eat!"
...hopefully.

//Bowl of cold cereal, piece of toast?//
Okay, so the toast had to be toasted, but it was sort of difficult to screw up with a toaster.

//... We better stick to using a toaster, luv.// As tempting as burning things was, and all. //Yer not from around here, I'm going to guess.//
The Shadrin thing was his first hint. Whatever that was.

//A toaster... Toasts bread. Without fire,// he explained, shrugging. //I suppose if there isn't one in the classroom, we could use a frying pan and do it up on the stove. Maybe put a piece of cheese between, make yerself a sandwich, or something. That counts as cooking, after all.//
And if you couldn't handle a grilled cheese sandwich, there was probably little hope for you.
