Baking Workshop 6/26, Monday Morning

[absolutesnark]

Piper smiles at the students as they arrive. "We're going to make chocolate chip cookies today. As always, I brought some samples."

"Next week, you get to bake whatever you want. I'd like each of you to find a recipe before then. They can easily be found online," she continues. She peers at all of them warily. "Try not to choose something that requires open flames."

Then she hands them a list of ingredients and instructions. "Feel free to ask questions if you have any."

A very paranoid-looking and obviously hungover Anders signed in. Horror of horrors, he looked revolted at the notion of chocolate chip cookies. But then, that was the nausea talking.

Pip thinks he's got this one-handed egg cracking bussiness down.

Of course, what Pip thinks and what reality is aren't always the same thing.

Jude, on the other hand, totally does.

He's also trying to figure out how to incorporate pudding mix into the recipe.

"Yo, dude."

Re: Bake

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Yo Jude," Pip said. "What's up?"

Re: Bake

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude shrugged mellowly. "Not much, bro. You?"

Anders, go figure, was so busy mentally flailing that he didn't have any time to second-guess his measurements and even remembered to soften the butter properly this week.

He hadn't gotten to the mixing stage yet, but so far this was shaping up to be his most decent solo effort not like that in this workshop yet.

So far.

Willow was pretty much grooving along happily since chocolate chip cookies were her speciality.

This meant she had enough brainpower free to multitask cooking and talking.

"Hey, Anders. How's it going?"

Re: Bake

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders dropped the mixer blade he was trying to put into the appropriate socket (and yeah, he was trying not to think too hard about that particular figure of speech) and gulped. And ow, clattery noise.

"Willow," he rasped. "Hi."

Re: Bake

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow reached to pick the mixer blade up for him. "Are you okay?"

Re: Bake

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam walked over from her own station, always happy to put cooking off a little longer. "Morning, Anders."

Re: Bake

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders looked up from his ingredients. "Carter. Hey."

Re: Bake

[stykera]

Stark decided cookies were much easier than making a pie crust. At least he hoped so. So he got his ingredients together and turned on the oven and started mixing.

Re: Bake

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia got her ingredients and set them up carefully. Glancing around she started to combine her various sugars into the mixing bowl.
