Ancient Food Crimes; Friday, First Period [05/27].

[somethingwithturquoise]

For all the mess her kitchen had been made into yesterday in her desperate attempts to always feel like she needed to outdo herself, Summer had ultimately decided to go a little simpler for today's lesson, and honestly? She felt much better doing it. Truth day definitely had a way of wearing you down, even when you embrace its absurdity fully, and she just wanted to keep it light today.

Still (hopefully) ridiculous and bewildering, but ultimately light.

"Today," she started, once it was time to get everything going, "I wanted to focus on how the last century could take something as unassuming and simple as, say, a melon or a head of lettuce or celery, and try to....dress it up in a way that is absurd, unnecessarily, and, perhaps, even criminal. So allow me to introduce you to three real, actual recipes that people made and, presumably, consumed, and we're going to give them a try and figure out whether or not such things deserve to be thrown into food jail once and for all.

"Allow me a moment to present to you a stuffed melon covered in cream cheese, a stuffed head of iceberg lettuce, and, the most offensive of all, I think, especially since nothing is even stuffed here, but we have boiled celery with pimento. That last one was a 'calorie counter' recipe, which is apt, since I'm pretty sure it would put you off from food entirely.

"So come on up, let's explore the reasons why these foods even exist in the first place."

"I don't think they have a lot of resources so they would definitely appreciate the help," Liz said, "we can't portal in directly to Insomnia though but Ignis did say something about checking to see if we can portal to Lestallum, they're not sure if it will work because they've only used portals in Insomnia before," she paused, "Goose is also working on contacting his team and getting in the Galaxy Rangers for support, it's through his communicator that we were able to get in contact with Prompto and Ignis," she explained.

"Awwwwwww." Summer needed a moment to melt a little as her Goosnis flag just got activated over all of that and her hands folded in front of her heart. "Look at you guys. Pulling together all your resources to save your boyfriends in their dumb, stupid war-torn world. At this point, I am honestly just honored to be involved. But, hey, if you're not doing anything right now, we can totally head over to portalocity and see what they've got. Then I can head over to Barry's and see if we can run some coordinates and see if anything comes up for this...Lestallum, you said? If they've got nothing, we can see if we can just circumnavigate their resources and dig up the data ourselves."

"It was Lestallum," Liz nodded, "I'm not doing anything right now, checking on the portal status sounds pretty good right now, at least that way we know if the portalocity option is still viable," it had been ages since Liz had done any mission related work, even if she no longer wanted to be an agent it still felt good to be doing something and being able to coordinate like this, "maybe it was a good thing I started up training again,"
