Culinary Crimes; Tuesday, Second Period [06/15].

"Gooood morning, everyone!" Summer had been looking forward to this week in particular every since she stumbled across today's particular monstrosity, so you knew you were all in for a real treat, right? "Today, we're going to be asking the question: is it a crime to be extra?"

If it was, you might as well cuff her and take her away now, really.

"And," she added, "today's actually a more modern recipe, borne out of this century for a change, riding on that niche area of culinary interest that seems to really push the boundaries of excess and explore just how ridiculous you can get. It is a very involved recipe, so we'll definitely be walking through it together, but, before we get to that, we do have a quick and easy vintage recipe,, by special request," here, she was definitely throwing a smirk toward Stark assuming he was there, "that we can just make and let set while we work the main recipe because, hoo boy, guys, it is something, let me tell you.

"So, without further ado," for dramatic effect, she reached over to grab a nice package of roast beef and plopped it onto the counter in front of her, along with a bag of chocolate chips, "let's get started first on our beef fudge."

And that was the lighter recipe...

What do you get when someone asks Summer not to add chocolate to the main recipe and she thinks she's exploiting a loophole by finding a worse recipe that involves chocolate somehow? Beef fudge!

So get out your grinders, everyone, and literally throw roast beef (remember to remove the hard crusty bits!), chocolate chips, marshmallow, butter, sugar, walnuts, etc, etc, and let her rip! And look forward to trying it, because any recipe that promises that it's a 'lucious' fudge is promising a lot!

And then it was time to put that aside for later, and get onto the main event, which Summer's not even entirely sure what to call, but we'll just go with Sausage Pancake Extraveganza! Which doesn't sound too terrible, right? Summer wants to walk you through it slowly, though, because she feels the real strength of this recipe is the surprises to be had along the way.

"So we're going to start," she explained, "with some sausage patties, and we're going to slice them in half and fry them up on our pan."

Not so bad so far! Especially when she grabs the eggs and a few rings so that they could cook them into nice, easy round shapes, perfect for what you'd assume would be a breakfast sandwich. But with the sausage as the buns, probably, right? ....right? The sausages are the buns? Add a little cheese to the sausage, because, yeah, cheese is a good addition, then fold the sausage 'buns' over the cheese. Okay, so maybe not with the egg in between, but the cheese in between, that sounds great!

But now Summer is getting out a jar and explaining to line it up with parchment paper, which is probably starting to throw a few expectations out the window. And then she asks everyone to grab the container at their stations, which they'll open up to reveal...macaroni and cheese. Yes. Macaroni and cheese, which you're now going to scoop into the parchment-paper lined container. Pack it in there nicely, and then start adding in your sausages and eggs in layers, filling it in with more of the mac'n'cheese until the vessel is full and nicely packed. Pop that sucker in the blast freezer for a little bit, and while they're waiting, it's time to mix up some pancake batter.

Oh? Did you forget about the pancake aspect of this? Or have you been on the edge of your seat in anticipation for how pancakes were going to factor into this? Also, we're going to get some oil heated up, because that's going to be important in a second.

Once your small mac'n'cheese-egg-and-sausage tower is chilled, it's time to remove it from the jar and set it out on a raised rack with a dish underneath so you can start pouring your pancake batter over it. Once it's fully coated, it's time to drop the whole cyllander into the oil to fry that shit uuuuuuup. Once that's done, pull it out of the fryer, add a nice ice cream scoop sized pat of butter, drench with maple syrup, and they're ready to dig in!

Stark was very sorry about what he'd accidentally unleashed on everyone. So very sorry.

He was darting utterly betrayed looks at Summer while preparing the fudge and muttering to himself about trying to remember not to speak in certain circumstances.

Once he moved on the second recipe though, he was just a bit overwhelmed by it all. At least there wasn't chocolate in it? Just nearly everything else.

"She was right," he said to nobody in particular. "It is a bit much. More than bit. But probably edible."
