The Art of Breakfast, Thursday, Period 4

Raiden was once again on the phone as his students arrived. "Pancake-themed art? It's upsetting...because I can't eat the pancakes. They're taunting me...glad we understand each other. Besides, if you're going to go that route you need to make it waffles or Gray will riot. Oh, I gotta go, my class is here. Just--pick something for the walls, okay? Something that's not pancakes."

Giving Castor a directive like that, he was going to end up with a Monet on the walls of his brunch spot, probably. At least it wasn't an Instagram wall?

"Sorry about that," Raiden told his students, "but speaking of pancakes, let's make some! And waffles," he added quickly, before a certain gremlin masquerading as his brother could open his mouth. "We are also going to make waffles. And French toast, the third member of this little trio of sweet breakfast options...although they can be made savory. These things are like a delicious canvas you can paint on. You can add fruit or nuts or chocolate chips to the pancakes or the waffles, or the sky's the limit when it comes to toppings.

"I've got a number of recipes--for pancakes, waffles, and French toast, plus a couple of fun variations, like the hash brown waffle or whole wheat waffles for when you want a little extra health and nutty flavor in your breakfast. We don't have time for it today but a French toast casserole is a great way to feed a crowd without having to stand over the stove all morning, so keep that in your back pocket for the future. So...yeah. Pick out your favorite form of breakfast--there are no wrong answers! Gray. There are no wrong answers." He was giving his brother a very stern look now, and possibly a telepathic directive to not evangelize waffles at people today. "And let's get to cooking! Remember, I'm here if you need any help."

Boc had remembered trying a French toast cinnamon roll at thr bakery once, but the actual French toast, while looking delicious, also looked quite messy and sticky, and so that was probably right out. He liked the fluffiness that the pancakes seemed to offer, but the waffles with their little nooks were intriguing.

So, needless to say, he wasn't really sure which was he wanted to go, but there seemed to be a smaller margin of error with the cooking methods for waffles, so maybe he would try that? If anything, he was fairly sure he could mix batter decently, even if he was mostly just guessing or watching what other people did and copying them.

Arden was trying to hide her pancakes behind Raiden as much as possible, so that Gray wouldn't see her AND JUDGE

Gray was scandalized, Arden. How could you?

But he was giving you The Eyes, Arden. You could feel them even without being able to see them, couldn't you?

"Gray, stop that," Raiden said without bothering to look at him, because he knew Gray. And possibly he could sense when The Eyes were being deployed.

The Eyes were very powerful and Arden's shoulders hunched. "Saving the batter for you! It's for your benefit!"

Pancakes were easiest and what he might normally go for but Stark was going for waffles today. With chocolate chips.
