Cooking for Camp and Field; Friday, First Period [06/04].
Although the cloudy weather of the day might lead to the sort of weather Ignis would like to have for his lesson that morning, he couldn't exactly rely on it, and he certainly couldn't expect the sort of torrential downpour he would have preferred to make his students more miserable truly experience this particular challenge of being a camp chef. And so it was to the Danger Shop that the class would be directed, where they would find themselves in a scenic but rocky space with the basics of camp already set up, and dark clouds and rolling thunder very quickly on the way overhead.
"We have been blessed," he started, giving the students a wry smile as he glanced up toward to encroaching rain, "so far with excellent weather for our weekly excursions, but, unfortunately, when out on the field, one cannot always expect sunny skies. But just because it may be raining does not mean one's team must necessarily starve or subject themselves to sub-par meals or," the next part almost said like it was a dirty word, "covenience foods. So, today, we'll be going over ways to protect a campfire even in the most challenging of rainy situations. You might even find that it can be quite pleasant, accomplishing a hearty meal despite the odds."
A rumble of thunder rolled in the distance, and he had to smile for the perfect dramatic emphasis.
"Let's not waste time, though," he said. "We only have so much of it before the rain arrives."

He's chosen a quicker recipe for the day, since most of their attention would be in getting everything protected, but he had a feeling it would likely go over well!
Well enough, anyway.
Truth be told, he would have preferred to do something like chili, but there simply wasn't the time to really let it simmer to develop its flavors, and he'd considered campfire nachos if not for the helpful knowledge that at least one student wouldn't exactly appreciate food eaten with one's fingers, so the chilaquiles seemed like a good compromise between the two.
