Potatoes!, Friday, Second Period
Raiden seemed outwardly just about the same as he always did this week, because seriously, he was starving for something or other all the time. He could handle this.
Also, unlike his brother, his fake ID worked at the gay clubs of Baltimore. So that helped.
"Potatoes aren't the food most heavily associated with Valentine's Day," he told his students, "and while I'm sure there are dishes using both potatoes and chocolate out there, I thought we'd use this opportunity to talk about sweet potatoes! The sweet potato is also from South America, but it's only distantly related to the regular potato in, like, plant relationship terms. It is, you guessed it, sweet, and also usually orange. Some people call it a yam, and some people get snippy about that because yams come from Africa and aren't related to sweet potatoes at all. I say potato, po-tah-to. You can do a lot of the same things with sweet potatoes you can with potato potatoes--bake them, make fries out of them, mash them--but where they really shine is in sweet potato casserole, either with marshmallows or a streusel-y pecan topping on top. I, uh, I don't trust you guys with sharp or hot objects right now," look, he was just calling it like it was, "so I made some of each ahead of time so you can sample them and decide which one is your favorite!"
