Black Magic Cookery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Tuesday | Period 3
"Good mooooooooooooooooooorning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Nina beamed at her class, pleased as punch that, presumably, they'd come back after last week! Each of the kitchen stations were set up just like last week, right down to the cups of five spices of her world (sugar, salt, soy sauce, mayo, and red pepper) and a carton of a dozen eggs.
"Don't worry," she said blithely, "we do cook with more than just eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But today we'll be covering what happens when you cook with two eggs instead of just one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
You would think you'd get double your ice cream or your pudding or whatever but you'd be deeply wrong.
"If you, like, happened to try this at home after class," Nina said, "then, like, I really hope you didn't try just doubling the recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that works for recipes from this world but it, like, really doesn't in my world because, like, making something with two eggs is meant to get you something totally different than making something with one egg……………
"So, like, a one egg recipe, like ice cream, can't be doubled just by adding another egg and you'll just, like, wind up with a total eggy mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Probably the sort of mess that people expected to make when they cooked her way, honestly.
"So, like, remember this: one egg equals ice cream while two eggs equals cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And not just, like, a slice of cake. She was talking about an entire cake.
"Now, like, you have to be a little more particular before you move with the eggs for this recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Each seasoning is meant to lead to a different subcategory of cakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you just want cake, you're just going to want two eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, like, if you want shortcake of any sort, then you're going to want to use two eggs and a cupful of sugar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whereas, like, adding a cupful of mayo is going to get you cheesecake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You'll get different kinds of cake if you add salt, soy sauce, or red pepper but, like, the three I've listed are the most popular subsets of cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Questions, anyone??????????????????? If not, then, like I'll demonstrate and then you can get started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She was trying not to think about whether mayonnaise actually went into cheesecake.
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
... Right?
"It's like got a bite to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
And mebbe, just mebbe....he'd act get around to act asking it this week.
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
"Sure, Wayne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nina beamed at him sunnily. "What's the question??????????????"
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
Like, sure, Wayne. Her cheesecake also hadn't been made with caramel or apples but they were there at the end of it all!
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
"It's not false advertising at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once it's complete it's a proper cheesecake that not even you could argue with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
Was this squinting enough fer yer class description, there, super cheif?
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
"I mean, like, Wayne," Nina said. "Wayne. You don't have magic, right???????????????"
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
You know, for science.

Nina shrugged a little.
“Chefs are so weird, Shuri!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
They did both, Shuri. They did both.
"Like, they don't knife each other in the streets, that just wouldn't be classy," or legal, Nina, even in your world, "but they have these competitions where they each pit their prized recipe against one another and a board of judges decides who wins???????????? The winner gets the loser's prized recipe and the loser has to kill themselves, out of shame..........."

Re: Listen to the Lecture!
Nina's way of cooking was a beautiful disaster.
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
Re: Listen to the Lecture!
“By taking two eggs and a cup of red pepper and thinking of lasagna instead of cake as you cook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Obviously, Anakin!

The Art of Cooking: Cake Edition!
She flung herself into action, dumping both her two eggs and the cupful of mayo into her wok before going off to toe tap at the stew pot while it bubbled. Then, still ignoring the wok, she went to work chopping what was definitely cucumber for a few moments before she went back to frantically season the stew pot before, finally, she went and tossed the… stir-fry in the wok.
Then she had to season that, toe tap some more, and then, just like that, it was over. Her knives and seasoning shakers and chopping board were gone and her dishes were clean.
And there was her cheesecake.
"I went with a caramel apple cheesecake," Nina said cheerfully. "So, like, when you're trying it out make sure you've got your flavour in mind or you'll just get a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any questions????????????? If not, give it a try!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember to move with your eggs and keep in mind the motions you've got to have down pat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
