20th Century Food Crimes, Cont. - Friday 8/18 - Period 1
"For our final class," said Summer, with a little bit of a mewling frown because weren't you all so sad? This was the last class! And surely there would be no other opportunities to have Summer inflict weird, weird recipes on you ever again after this. Heartbreaking!, "I decided we'd have a look at the allegedly most important meal of the day: breakfast."
Stark was a little sad it was the last class, actually. Maybe more than a little. He liked having classes with Summer. “I do like breakfast,” he said, foolishly hopeful. He’d very much enjoyed breakfast last Sunday.
"Starting with tuna waffles. They are exactly what they sound like, and a good way to transition into assuring you that at least the banana scallops do not actually involve scallops, but they do involve bananas."
“The waffles have fish but the bananas don’t, this time?” Stark checked. He just wanted to be sure. Had he just inspired tuna and banana waffles to appear at a later time? Maybe. “Wouldn’t it be better to have no fish for breakfast?”
"Come on," said Summer brightly," we live on an island! On the Atlantic coast! Fish should be featuring in all our meals more prominently, really. Sustainability, and all that good stuff!”
“I don’t think you even believe that,” Stark told her. “I don’t think you really want fish in desserts. Not to eat.”
Summer just smiled at him sweetly, offering no comment or opinion, only moving on to the last offering. "And, finally, we have an…interesting twist on the classic Eggs Benedict by making it….with cream of chicken soup, because why not?"
“Because that’s not what that sauce ought to be made of at all?” Stark suggested. Not that he really knew much about hollandaise. Maybe they ought to do brunch some weekend. For educational purposes.
"It's usually eggs yolks, butter, and lemon!" she offered, helpfully, because this was a class where you were to learn things. "So definitely not! Although whether or not this is an improvement is something we can discuss once we all give it a try."

Forgive the dopey grin he was giving her occasionally.
Re: Talk to the Teachers [FC 8/18]
She didn't think she needed to specify which brownies she meant, wink wink.

"I did like your brownies," he said, grinning wider. "Very much. And they'll help, I think, with..."
With his sleep issues which he knew were wearing on both of them.
Re: Make Food and Discuss [FC 8/18]
He wondered how much that was due to the benefit of not having to look at them.
And he was ignoring the tuna waffles as much as his heightened sense of smell would allow, which....was a challenge, to be sure.
Re: Talk to the Teachers [FC 8/18]
"I think so, too," she said, especially since it seemed to help Wednesday night, too, although that had, honestly, been more for her than anything else.
"And both," she added, shameless now, and confident. "Definitely both."
Re: Talk to the Teachers [FC 8/18]
"And you help, you know, just by yourself. Being there. Thank you."
Re: Talk to the Teachers [FC 8/18]
Re: Talk to the Teachers [FC 8/18]
"You do. And brownies will help more. But...I'm not sure whatever else you're making will."
The grin was back now. "It might be gross."
Re: Talk to the Teachers [FC 8/18]
Summer Smith needed to be banned from FoodTok.
Re: Talk to the Teachers [FC 8/18]
The second 'with you' was going to be left unsaid. For now.
"But I hope it isn't worse than the taco shot. Unless I get rewarded for trying it."
