Cooking for Camp and Field; Friday, First Period [06/18].
It was looking like it might be a bit of a warm day that Friday, but the nice thing about this class being held in the morning was that it was still quite cool and pleasant when they'd all be gathering at their camping site in the preserve and Ignis appeared to be in a relatively pleasant mood that morning, which meant he was slightly more visibly so than usual.
"Good morning, everyone," he greeted them with a nod and that small fraction more of a smile than he may have otherwise. "I hope you've all brought a bit of a sweet tooth with you this morning, because I thought today we could focus on a few things that are a little more fun to bring to camp than the usual fare, especially since, sometimes, the reason one is attempting to make do out in the wilderness can be rather serious and heavy, and bit of frivolity at the end of the day can help boost morale and even contribute to comaraderie among the camp. After all, few things bring people together quite like food does.
"For those of you who might not be familiar with the concept of the s'more," he continued, "it is a classic campfire treat that is simple and easy enough for almost the most inexperienced of cooks."
And yes, he fully expected this class to prove him wrong on that statement. He pretty much had his phone prepped and ready with the fire department's number in his pocket.
"The classic s'more," he said, pulling an actual retractable toasting fork from his front pocket and extending it out as he reached into a bag of marshmallows standing by, "is simple: you roast a marshmallow or two," he plucked the marshmallows onto the prongs and then held it into the fire, "being careful not to burn them too much, ideally to a nice golden brown without any significant char..." He paused a moment until they reached that point, then lifted them out of the fire with a proud smile for that perfect roasting on them, "and then you simply put the marshmallow between two pieces of graham cracker with a little bit of chocolate," which of course he had on the ready so all he had to do was pick that up and slip the marshmallows into the little treat as he removed them from the fork, "and voila. You have a s'more.
"Now, of course, I know that for one of you," a nod to Tisarwat, "foods eaten with ones hands are best to be avoided, even in the face of the convenience of doing so when out in the wilds, and I would certainly not leave it at just a simple s'mores recipe," although maybe he should!, "so we'll also be adapting a recipe for s'mores bars that will be a little more utensil friendly, and to compliment our sweet smorgasbourg so far, a little red wine hot chocolate, perfect for those chillier nights at camp, although, considering the current weather, seems a little far removed from our experience thus far.
"So, with that, let us move on to our recipes..."
