Piper smiles at the students as they arrive. She kind of already fears for the home ec classroom. "Good morning everyone. I'm Piper, in case some of you don't already know that."

She points out a plate of brownies on the counter. "I usually make samples of the assignments I choose. Today is no exception. As you can see, you're going to bake brownies today."

She hands them each a list of ingredients and instructions. "I try to make the instructions as easy to follow as possible, but, if you ever have questions or need help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask."

Molly's brownies wouldn't win any awards for presentation. She'd had to pry them out of the pan because she hadn't gotten the pan buttered and floured properly. But, aside from being a little hard around the edges, they were completely edible.

"Nice job, Molly," Piper said, impressed that they actually resembled brownies.

"Thank you," Molly said with a proud smile.

Alanna's brownies aren't really sure if they are brownies. They're kind of darker than you would expect and a bit crumbly. Also, someone chewing on one would find them to be a bit crunchy.

Piper blinked. They sort of resembled brownies.

She smiled at Alanna. "Baking wasn't so bad, was it?"

"I haven't tried one yet."

Sam looked like he was wearing more flour than had ended up in the pan with the brownies, so they looked a little burned and sticky on the edges. But they were edible, as far as he could tell. He was a little afraid to check.

Piper didn't care that they were burnt on the edges. They looked edible and that was good enough for her. "Nice work, Sam."

Sam made a happy sighing noise. "Thank you."

Isabel's brownies turned out well and were tasty. But she missed the chocolate chips.

"Very nice job, Isabel," Piper said, happy to see near perfect brownies. She wasn't used to that in this class.

"Thanks Piper," Isabel smiled. "I like to cook."
