Baking Workshop 7/10, Monday Morning

[absolutesnark]

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."

Tempe arranged everything she needed in front of her before beginning the recipe. Having to run around to look for an ingredient would increase the potential that something would go wrong in the recipe.

With a precision possessed only by scientists, bakers, and incredibly OCD-type people, Tempe measured each ingredient carefully before adding it to the mixture, and tried to follow the recipe to the letter.
