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."

"I'm not?" Anders considered this. "I never thought about it that way. Sometimes I'm not sure I even know what needs to be done."

Sam snickered. "No one ever is, even while they're doing it."

"Well, that makes me feel better," Anders replied, actually grinning now. "Guess that means I should learn to stop second guessing myself all the time, huh?"

"Yes. And if you figure that out, would you please tell me how?" She laughed.

Anders saluted her awkwardly. "I'll do that."

Sam laughed again. "I'm gonna try not to blow up the kitchen now. And straighten that elbow, soldier."

Anders straightened his elbow as ordered and grinned. "Yeah, I'm going to get to that myself. Good luck, Carter."

"You too, Anders. And don't forget to knock if you need it." She went back to her station, sighed, and got to work measuring and mixing.
