Shop Class, Wednesday Morning

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam was sitting on the desk when everyone arrived. The classroom had already been set to resemble a kitchen and a pile of fresh groceries was sitting on one of the counters.

"Morning, guys. Mac's not here, so you get stuck with me for the day. Unfortunately, I can't really do much because of the stupid snow monsters, so I had to improvise. We've done a lot this semester about using science and ingenuity to get ourselves out of dangerous or hazardous situations, but they can be used other places, too."

She gestured to the kitchen and the food, smiling.

"Your assignment for the day, should you choose to accept it, is to make yourself breakfast. The twist? There has to be something about either the food or the way you cook it that is creative in the way of our esteemed, if absent, leader."

"Have fun, and the fire extinguisher's in the corner if you need it."

So Mac has an accurate attendance record.

No, Sam won't be cooking. Trust me, it's better that way.

Open Shop, Period Three

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam is here, playing with wiring and making a battery pack.

Open Shop, Periods 6-8

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam is here again, trying to force a laser into a UV spectrum shift and in no way trying to figure out how to attach it to the battery pack from earlier. Feel free to work on your own projects.

Ivanova signs in, looking pained. Cooking? Not so much her thing. Especially when she couldn't really use her right arm.

Re: Sign In

Sam noticed the girl's expression. "Ivanova? If you'd like to pair up with someone, that's perfectly acceptable."

If Xander appears to be whittling wooden stakes, it's because he is. If you ask him? That's what he'll tell you he's doing. Because dude. Like condoms and sugary snack foods, you can never have enough on hand for completely unexpected emergencies. He's just being practical.

The tiny cartoons he's carving on them of Itchy and Scratchy chasing down and killing stick-figure vampires, however, are just because it makes him snicker.

John signs in.

Ivanova smiled a bit. "Thanks. I'm not really one for cooking. While the old 'burn water while boiling it' is overused, sadly it's true."

Re: Sign In

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam grinned. "Been there, done that, had to call the fire department. Which is why I'm not cooking."

Midway through the period, Isabel stopped by with a bag of pastries from Jeff's. "Here, that looks like hungry work. But make sure to share with Sam."

John looks through the cookbook for something easy and non life threatening.

Of course, he can't resist the chocolate and goes for the brownies. It's supposed to be triple chocolate but, what the hey, John adds enough for quadruple chocolate. The ingredients go into a bowl, the chooclate included, and, just for kicks, he adds some chocolate chips too.

Into the oven they go!

About forty minutes later, the brownies ping and they're done. And they are gooey! John tries a bite and damn, sweet!

"Best. Roommate. Ever."

[ooc - I am too, but temporarily swamped w/official-like stuff to do. Will catch up on last night's convo as soon as I can!]

Re: Sign In

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander signs in, and grins at the assignment. Hey, food. How can he possibly screw that up?


Dun-dun-DUN...

Sam wiped off her hands and took a danish. "Thanks, Isabel. This was really thoughtful of you."

Re: Cooking

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam looked longingly at the brownies, even if they weren't breakfast food. They smelled really good.

Re: Cooking

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander looked sadly at the charred, blackened corpse of his banana wheat pancakes, then also stared longingly at John's arms brownies.

Re: Cooking

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John waves a brownie at Sam.

"Want one?" He smiles charmingly. "Chocolate brownies!"

Re: Cooking

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John eats another brownie and offers one to Xander.

"I got lots," John says. "Want a sugar rush?"

Re: Cooking

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"My hero," Sam said, taking one. "Even if certain people wouldn't approve of brownies for breakfast." She wasn't still grumpy about her fight with Janet. Really.

Re: Cooking

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander was doing fine until he got to the part about waiting for the pancakes to bubble on top before adding the sliced bananas.

Sliced? That'd be something he should've done before he poured the batter in, huh.

By the time he'd hunted down a knife and managed to break off the stem of the first banana instead of peeling it properly, as I you constantly do, the batter wasn't so much batter anymore as... ex-batter. Tired and shagged out after a prolonged charring. Joined the choir invisible but unfortunately not unsmellable.
