Don't Be Stupid, Friday, 1st Period

[wrongkindofsith]

The class was back in the Danger Shop again this week, though was set to the kitchen simulation instead of last week's fake Caritas. There was a stack of cookbooks on the desk up the front.

"Sometimes not being stupid isn't about the big things," Cara said. "Sometimes it's about the little things, like figuring out how to cook a meal without setting everything on fire so you don't starve to death. Or die in a fire." That would also be bad.

"So today you're all going to pick a recipe at random from one of those books and cook it, without bothering me for help." Sink or swim people. Also because her actually trying to help would likely end in tears.

Cassandra had filled the pot up with a great deal of water. She lugged it over towards the stove like it didn't weigh much, then put it down on it. "It does not seem familiar."

"Well, this one looks like it's electric, so it's super-easy to use."

"There's a knob for each of the circles on top, so you put the pot on one of them, finding the corresponding knob, and turn it on." Which meant turning the knob all the way to the highest setting, obviously. That's how you cooked things on stoves!

Cassandra frowned, shoving the pot onto one of the circles - probably one that was too small - with considerable force.

Then she bent down to squint at the knobs. "I see... symbols?"

"Do you sort of see how they could maybe be a diagram of the stove if you looked at it from the top?" Ringo asked, pointing at one of them. "With a different circle highlighted for each one?"
