Chopped: Overstock Edition ; Tuesday, Second Period [07/21].

"You know what?" started Summer, as they were back in the home ec classroom, and it was time to get class started, and she looked a little wistful in an almost meta way. "The best thing about this class? Is that it really doesn't require me to go on for paragraphs with information to get to the point. You guys know the drill by now. No theme, other than perhaps going along with the theme of there not being a theme to this week in general. Just three ingredients, and a challenge to make the most out of them in a way that doesn't want me to throw up in my own mouth. It's good to enjoy the simple things in life, isn't it?"

With that, she gave a soft, reflective sound that went with her smile.

"Now, to your battle stations, contestants, and we'll reveal this week's ingredients!"

"This week," said Summer, dramatically, "your mission...if you choose to accept it, which you probably should because, you know, otherwise, what are you even doing here? Is to make me a dish...any dish at all, using the following ingredients now to be revealed as you open your baskets. Those ingredients are:

Fresh spinach
Frozen blueberry waffles
Chai tea latte powder mix

"You have full access of the kitchen and the pantries, but your dish must feature these three ingredient to some capacity. And your time starts...."

WAIT FOR IIIIT....

"....now!"

Seivarden frowned, looking at the powder mix.

"Summer, you're doing this to annoy me again, aren't you?"

Because everything was about her.

Summer was just going to roll her eyes again.

"Yes, Seivarden," she said. "I am only including these ingredients with the express purpose of annoying you...as if that was hard...despite the fact that it literally says in the course description and name that I'm only bringing in ingredients that are based entirely on what the store decided to overstock this week."

There was, however, a pause.

"Actually," she realized, "the store might be doing it to annoy you. I just bring it in, yo."

Seivarden looked her.

"So I should blame your store?"

And Summer was going to just look right back.

"Yes, Seivarden," she then said dryly, "this whole time, my store has clearly has it out for you, and now we have clear and irrefutable evidence that this is all a store'a bid for annoying you because you're the only person ever who likes tea."

"I didn't say I'm the only one," Seivarden said. "But I'm one of the few on this island who has standards when it comes to tea. And it was sarcasm."

"Oh...mygod," said Summer, feigning the most utterly shocked expression in quite possibly the most sarcastic way imaginable. "No way. Was it, really? I'd have never guessed! But I never use sarcasm myself! I am, like, so glad you're here to point it out for me so I don't, like, toootally miss it."

Summer, this was your student.

Seivarden had to laugh at that.

"Sarcastic overreaction?"

"Was that a laugh?" Summer asked, her feigned shock now enhanced with a hand to her chest. "I didn't know you were even capable of doing that."

"Are you saying I'm too serious?" Seivarden said, grinning.

"I'm saying," said Summer, "that there was been vast levels of improvement in that area."

And she grinned back, but with a weird sort of awkward awareness that she was grinning back and that it actually had felt pretty good get a laugh like that out of her, so she was very quick to add:

"I wish I were confident in seeing similar improvement in your cooking, but good news. After last week, there's only one way to go, and that's up."

PAUSE.

"I hope."

"I'm glad I live up to your standards these days," Seivarden said. "Let's see about the cooking."

She knew she was terrible at it.

Tahani threw it all into the blender.

"Smoothie! Very healthy for you."

Probably not.

So, what did you make? Points for creativity, as always, but it's not like points really matter in the class, but just think of the personal satisfaction that actually comes with grossing Summer out!

Seivarden had put everything in a blender and added banana. It looked like a smoothie, but she wasn't tempted to try it herself.

"Oh, man," said Summer, who was honestly a little grateful over the fact that this was not a terrible idea and might not even taste worse than your average protein shake. "Don't hurt yourself bending over backwards for creativity there, or anything, Seivarden."

"Aren't you supposed to be a bit encouraging?"

Said the one who was always an encouraging teacher.

"Constructive criticism!" Summer protested. "It's my job!"

But she then smiled and batted her eyes sweetly at Seivarden as she grabbed a straw to plunk into the blended concoction. "But good job on not burning anything this week."

Encouragement!

"Are you batting your eyelids at me?" Seivarden said.

She's there to be talked to, which in and of itself should come with a warning label.

This class is so bare-bones to write compared to my other ones that I almost feel like I'm cheating?
