Chopped: Overstock Edition ; Tuesday, Second Period [07//28].

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Welcome back again to another exciting week of seeing just how terrible half of you are at cooking!" Summer started the class cheerfully. "By now, you know the drill, so we're just going to get right to it, and I'll just mention two things before we get to the exciting reveal of what you guys will have to cook with this week. The first is that I promise this time there is no tea. And the second?"

There was a dramatic pause.

"I've removed all the blenders from the kitchen this time around, because seriously, you guys? Smoothies? I expect better from you all. That said, let's begin!"

"Brains are actually considered a delicacy in many cultures," Summer informed her smoothly, "don't be insensitive! Plus, it's really good for, like, Halloween or as a gag or to make models out of or if you really trying to be realistic when making a dummy for faking a death or something."

Was the fact that she had all those reasons in her pocket without even needing to think about them somewhat worrisome?

"Anyway, go ahead and stray the mold with some non-stick spray so the jello doesn't stick to it, and then get a large bowl filled with ice water before we start dissolving the gelatin, this is going to just make things easier in a few minutes."

Seivarden did as she was told.

"So this is what you do every week?"

Summer shrugged a little. "Pretty much," she said, "yeah. The jello itself is pretty easy, the fun part comes in with what add to it and how your present it and stuff. That's where the real creativity comes in.

"Okay," she then offered, "if your water's boiling, go ahead and pour it into the smaller bowl, and then add the packets of gelatin. Once they've dissolved, you want to add two cups of cold water, and then you're going to put that smaller bowl in the bowl with the ice water, and then start stirring it. That's going to get it to thicken up, and since we're adding shit to it, we want to get it to a nice thickness so it can actually hold all the carrots and strawberries."
