Beginning Gourmet Cooking Techniques | Tuesday, per. 2

"Today," Hannibal announced to the students, "we're going to discuss measuring. When following recipes, it's important to measure correctly. Dry ingredients and wet ingredients are measured differently."

He discussed how the most common items are measured, then presented them all with a simple recipe. "Today, you are each going to make a batch of these cookies. We will discuss each step as we go through it - how to properly position the oven racks and pre-heat it, how to measure everything, and how to cook them. Please ask for any additional help you may need."

That level of misery was difficult to miss. After the lecture, when everyone was headed to their stations, Hannibal stopped Alluka with a gentle hand on her shoulder. "My dear, are you feeling well enough to be here?"

Alluka's fuzzy brain took a bit to compute that into something reasonable.

She blinked blearily at him.

"I am here," she said, as reasonably as she could, "so... I, I think the answer is yes?"

It was a 'no'. But Alluka's answer was logical.

"Also, cookies," she admitted.

"Cookies are still not enough reason to make yourself more ill."

He led her away from her station and called up a comfortable chair and a blanket for her. "Sit. Sleep if you can. I will see if I have some cold medicine. Do you have a fever?" He felt her forehead.
