Advanced Takeout, Monday, May 8, 2017

[heroic_jawline]

For the first day of class, there was a nice selection of protein shakes or coffee for the students to grab before things started. Because they were starting on a high note. It was all down hill from here on out, kids.

"Hello, and welcome to Advanced Takeout," Tony said. "I'm Mr. Stark or Tony if you'd rather."

"And I'm Steve Rogers," Steve added. "Um, calling me Steve would be kind of strange. Welcome to Advanced Takeout. We know there are a couple other food-related classes this summer--this one is for people who can't cook."

Like them.

They only blew up one kitchen! On island. So far.

"Captain Rogers," Tony suggested to the class because Steve lacked the casual sweaters for 'Mr. Rogers' after all. "It's the first class, so things will be easy with letting us know your name and why you picked this class. You're in for a lot of this for the rest of the week. Sorry."

Steve grinned. "You can also tell us your biggest kitchen disaster. We blew up a microwave making apple pie a few months back."

Don't ask how. Just...don't.

"And I even have a doctorate in chemistry, so it can happen to anyone," Tony added cheerfully. Because it had been for science. Didn't you all feel better about yourselves?

"And after you're done with the introductions, you can try to make coffee or a protein shake," Steve said. Which, well, Tony's robot DUM-E had a hard time doing, so it can't be that easy, right?

Introductions!

[heroic_jawline]

Your name, why you picked the class, and the worst kitchen disaster you've had.

Re: Introductions!

[snipsnspecks]

"I'm Ahsoka, and it's got to be better than rations." You were asked three questions, Ahsoka.

Re: Introductions!

[imafuturist]

"Hello, Ahsoka," Tony replied, trying not to laugh at that answer. "Rations?"

Re: Introductions!

[somethingwithturquoise]

Oh, boy, here we go.

"My name is Summer Smith," she started, "I didn't pick this class, and I know how to cook."

To be fair, she could kind of cook. She usually didn't have to, but she could make some mac and cheese and peanut butter and jelly if it came down to the wire. Maybe some spaghetti if she was feeling gourmet.

"And my biggest kitchen disaster was failing to convince my parents that pea soup green was a terrible color for the walls. But, whatever, it's their money, if they want to spend it on a gross kitchen."

Re: Introductions!

"How very seventies of them," Tony replied, tilting his head at that mental image. "Alright, maybe you can help your classmates out then."

Maybe keep the exploding to a minimum because the teachers clearly couldn't.

"I'm Khadgar, and I picked this class because I wanted to learn more about making food. I can conjure food in a pinch, but it's mostly sweets and even I know I can't live solely on biscuits," he said with a smirk. "I've never had a kitchen disaster, mostly because I've avoided the kitchens in my life."

Re: Introductions!

[heroic_jawline]

"How have you eaten, then?" Steve asked. "Mom? Takeout?"

Re: Introductions!

[notamascot]

"I'm Kaylin Neya and this course was chosen for me," she said. "Probably because I can't cook. Nor do I have any actual interest in cooking."

Re: Introductions!

[heroic_jawline]

"So have you had a kitchen disaster, or have you just ignored that whole room?" Steve asked.

Re: Introductions!

[wiredweird]

"Jughead Jones," Jughead said two days later because I am a dolt, forgive me. "I picked this class because, I don't know, I like food."

He was hoping this class would let him eat – for free – instead of just making him get cravings.

"And, there was an incident with a Pop-Tart once. It was fine, though. It was still edible. Ish."

Make coffee or a protein shake!

[heroic_jawline]

The protein shake instructions are on the back of the stupidly large protein powder jug. This one alleged to be chocolate.

The chocolate is a lie. You can add it a couple spoonfuls to water and drink it that way (...not yummy) or you can get creative and add the powder to bananas, yogurt, and other frozen fruit options the teachers have laid out for you.

--

The coffee maker looks like it stepped out of a lab because it probably did. Add water to the bottom, grounds to the top and put it on the hot plate. Once the water has evaporated up into the grounds, take it off the heat, pour into a cup and enjoy!

If it hasn't exploded or something, of course.

Ahsoka was in this class to avoid rations, she went for the coffee and the weird caf-maker.

Re: Make coffee or a protein shake!

[somethingwithturquoise]

Man, this girl (she thought? Maybe? She really shouldn't assume with aliens) looked cool as hell. And Summer needed new friends, so she gave the other girl (maybe?) a smile, lifted the coffee maker and asked, "So, are we supposed to use this thing to make coffee or a magic potion or what?"

One could argue that coffee itself was a magic potion, but that was neither here nor there.

Re: Make coffee or a protein shake!

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer had a little bit of a gag reflex when it came to protein shakes, thanks to that one time she and her grandpa buffed up to go beat up the devil and subsequently beat up Neo-Nazis and church protesters and other such scumbags, so she was really going to avoid that, even if her stomach was feeling more ready for food again.

Coffee was pretty easy, too, right? Until Summer picked up the coffee maker that looked more like it belonged in her grandpa's lab than in a kitchen. "Uhhhh...huh."

Give her a few minutes, she'll figure it out.

Re: Make coffee or a protein shake!

[spell_chucker]

Khadgar had heard good things about coffee, and nothing about protein shakes, so it wasn't hard to decide what to make. It took two tries, but the coffee he ended up with tasted pretty good.

Re: Make coffee or a protein shake!

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Hey, yeah, you did it!" said Summer, lifting her own cup of coffee, which she had also just managed to figure out. Mostly by watching the others, including this guy, do it.

Re: Make coffee or a protein shake!

[notamascot]

Kaylin was not touching the whatever it was fancy thing that you had to add heat to, so she took a glass of water, dumped some water in, sniffed it, and threw the whole thing out.

Talk to Steve and Tony

[heroic_jawline]

One's drinking a protein shake, the other's got coffee. No points for guessing which one's which.

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[imafuturist]

Coffee flavored protein powder existed and Tony judged it for existing. He judged it so much.

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[heroic_jawline]

Mmmm, protein powder!

In Steve's defense, he grew up in the 1920s and 30s.

YAY, new classes!
