Hopefully, the students received Summer's message about meeting in the Danger Shop for class that week, and if they showed up, she'd actually feel a little surprised and a little honored because it would have just been that easy to just claim they hadn't received any message at all, they were at the normal classroom, really....because that's likely what she might have done in those circumstances.

Anyway, the Danger Shop was set up exactly like their usual classroom, so, y'know.

"Hey, guys," Summer started, "it's slim pickings out there right now, so I decided it would pretty much be a crime against humanity to take what little there was out there and use it for the monstrosities we create here. I mean, we could, I had some really great ideas for what we could do with canned fake meat and Spaghetti-Os, but people might actually want to eat that stuff this week, but not with what we'd be doing to it. So we turn to the Danger Shop, where our options might not be real, but they're endless, so there's always that.

"But...." She paused dramatically. "Even with the endless possibilities, we're still making what we would have made if we decided to be dicks and use up some of our current, actual resources, to show that, really, even when times are hard, you can still make fantastically bad food. To your stations, everyone! And prepare yourself for the stuffed crown roast of frankfurters!"

"So," said Summer, "there doesn't seem like there's a lot to this recipe. It's basically just your hot dogs and then whatever terrible thing you're putting in the middle, but it's not easy getting your dogs to stand at attention in such a perfectly baffling attempt to make food both revolting and functioning! Here's what we're going to do:

"Get your ovens going at 375, and while that's going, we're going to lay out our hot dogs. If you've got any that are a little curve...it happens, you know, frankfurters come in all shapes and sizes...then you'll want to arrange those ones curve-side up. And now, if you haven't yet noticed that today's kitchen supplies include sewing materials, guess what! We're sewing in cooking class! That's right! In order to make this work, we're going to be taking a needle and this string, and sew all these hot dogs together about a half-inch from the bottom. Because who doesn't love threading through processed meat sticks first thing in the morning, hmmm? And now you want to thread another string through a half-inch from the top as well. Now, bring the first and last hot dogs together and tie the strings to complete the circle, and, voila! Meat crown!

"Tempting as it may be to put it on your head," she highly doubted any of you would be tempted to do that, "please don't. Just put it in your pan, spreading out the bottom half-inch for a nice supportive base, which will also give you these little hot dog nooks that'll be filled in later with either condiments or garnish! Now, the original recipe calls for just a shit-ton of sauerkraut or potato salad to go in the middle. We have both of those ready if you like, but since we are in the Danger Shop and have access to anything, the door is open for you to fill your hot-dog crown with whatever your little culinary heart desires. There's no reason we can't be horrible and creative all at once, right?"

And she would personally take it as a point of pride if one of them came up with a truly awful filling.

"Any questions?" she asked. "If not, we'll get to it, and, once our masterpieces are in the over to bake up a bit, we're going to watch another video, this one sort of the opposite of last week's, exploring the industrial arts rather than the ecomonic."

With apologies to Ms. Blackstone.

Well, this was super horrifying, and Shuri was filled with the urge to put the thing on her head. That moment passed pretty quickly, though.

She toyed for a moment with recreated the hot dog and chakalaka mixture she'd made with Wayne last week, but that seemed too easy.

Her hand shot up. "Was the potato salad meant to be warm or were you adding potential stomach illnesses to the challenge?" she asked. "Because hot hot dog and cold coleslaw would be awful."

Did your hot dogs stay standing? What did you fill it with? You'll definitely want to try it, too, since the Danger Shop can provide all those awesome flavors for a full experience, right?

Taste-wise, this one really didn't seem too terrible to Summer, but it definitely ruled the ranks on the list of food that was just simply stupid.

Anyway, she's there, for any stupid-food or non-stupid-food related things!

This particular one leaves me with one main question: exactly how was this supposed to be eaten, anyway??
