Black Magic Cookery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Tuesday | Period 3
Was it a little weird to have to bolt from a class she was taking so that she could go and make sure all was set up for a class she was teaching? Yes, yes it was.
Luckily, Nina built to thrive on challenge like that. And she'd set it up beforehand which was, well, the real reason she couldn't do yoga this semester. She needed time to prep things beforehand! Her classroom was the Danger Shop, set up with kitchen stations for each student.
Each station was equipped with a wok, a stew pot, five measuring cups that were each filled with a different item, and a carton of twelve eggs.
There was also a camera set up to record all of this.
"Good morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said cheerfully, beaming at her students. "I'm, like, Nina Argentum and I'll be your teacher for this class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The camera is here to record class for those who can't make it but who desperately need to learn this sort of cooking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It was going to be plastered all over her social media seconds after she was done with class.
"Cooking is, like, an art and, like, for most worlds that means making cooking as needlessly, hopelessly complicated as possible in pursuit of the so-called 'perfect recipe'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to, like, mention adding about eleven million things that aren't necessary…" Nina was a little biased against cooking in this world, yes. "In my world, cooking is an art of simplicity, of willpower, and of knowing exactly what you want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"In front of each of you is a wok and a stew pot," she said, gesturing to each item as she spoke. "We'll be working with eggs today," but don't think you were going to get primarily egg dishes out of this, "and these measuring cups each hold a cupful of sugar, salt, soy sauce, mayonnaise, and red pepper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are the only spices my world works with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Those five things were totally all spices. Yup.
She picked up an egg. "With this one egg, I can make either ice cream or tamagoyaki, which is a type of rolled omelette. You might think that ice cream needs sugar to be made but, like, you'd be wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Adding any spice to this dish will give you something else entirely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"For instance, if you add a cupful," yes, an entire cupful; "of sugar to your one egg, you'll get pudding or an omelette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A cupful of salt, on the other hand, will get you either flavoured ice or an adult fried egg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"This is why it's, like, absolutely imperative that you know what you want to make before you make it," Nina said earnestly as she set her egg back down. "If you don't know what you want, you're just going to wind up with a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She clapped her hands together. "Okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Names and one dish you want me to cover—though, like, with seven weeks I make no promises!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After that, we'll get to making ice cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
[OCD is up!!!!!! :D]

Re: Introductions!
Coming up with an answer to the second part of her question was harder, gobsmacked as he was by that lecture (and they hadn't even gotten to the in-depth explanation of the movements yet!). So, uh. Give him a minute?
Re: Introductions!
... Partly because of how weird almost everyone else thought it was!
She grinned at him. "Nothing you want to try making later this semester, Major???????????????????"
Re: Introductions!
Also sidestepping the actual question still!
Re: Introductions!
"I know," she said impishly, "but, like, I wanted an excuse to call you that at least once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Re: Introductions!
(Well, okay, he supposed he'd come by 'Price' fair and square, which was why he hadn't hesitated even if it wasn't all that traditional.)
"Well, I suppose," he grumbled, but he was smiling, so it wasn't much of a grumble. "As for something I'd like to try making... what about a pie?"
