[ action | open | mingle style ] Cooking Class
[Piper had the cooking lab set up and ready to go. She was nervous as all heck, but she was as ready to do this as she was ever going to be. She found herself questioning why she was doing this, but no point in running that through her head now.]

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Cooking Class.

[She gave them all a somewhat nervous smile.]

This is a first for me, so I'm looking for a lot of feedback on this one. What are you interested in learning? What are you current skills? Stuff like that. We can do recipe courses, like what you see on a cooking show, or we can teach specific techniques for people who are looking for something more rudimentary.

[She picked up her apron.]

I have some extra aprons in the back, so grab one if you didn't bring your own. Cooking can get pretty messy, even when you know what you're doing.

[She put the apron on, and, while everyone was getting theirs, handed out a sheet of paper with a recipe on it.]

We're going to start with a simple recipe today so I can figure out where everyone is in their skill level.

{OOC: MINGLE IT UP!! I'll make a comment below so people can thread with Piper specifically. I'm also going to set up a feedback thread so characters can leave feedback. There's also a post on Piper's journal for the class where people can leave recipe requests for future classes, as well as questions for future classes about techniques.}

[This is far from Euphie's first cooking class since the opening of the school in Marina. Teachers for it seem to keep slipping away—her brother included. She hopes it's different this time. She always hopes it will be different.

As far as the food goes, she might have benefited from a continuous teacher because she is not great at this. Then again, yesterday shook her up a little which might account for some of her chicken fail.]

[ Todd has come out to this class, because it really seems like he should be better at cooking than he is, considering how long he and Neil have lived independently now.

When he sees Euphie he makes his way over, only looking a bit uncomfortable in the apron he's been provided with... ]

Hi. [ He smiles and angles his head slightly to look at her dish, though he's honestly not judging. ] How's your chicken going?

	Todd, hi. [She smiles at him. At least she couldn't remember him seeing anything inappropriate in her dreams and that was something.] I think it might not be much of an improvement over the raw version. Are you having better luck? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-06-03 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	[ He snickers, and shrugs. ] I guess I'll find out. Mine's not ready yet. [ He took his time - too much of it, really. ] I'm not all that hopeful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's fortunate there are robots here to cook for us if we need them. [Smiling and feeling good that she's not alone in this even though she'd be happy for him if he were better at the lesson!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He snickers, quietly. ] It'd be nice to be able to cook something myself, but... well, in the meantime. [ He is hopeful in a more long-term sense. Sort of. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-06-07 01:57 am UTC (link)
	Yes, that's true. I'd also like to be able to cook for others. I think that would be nice. Sharing food with people that they might really like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-06-08 02:46 am UTC (link)
	That would be nice. Sort of... I don't know. Normal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-06-09 01:27 am UTC (link)
	[Smiling.] You make normal sound like an unusual thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-06-09 03:38 am UTC (link)
	[ He gives a little shrug. ] Isn't it? I mean, I was in the City for years and it wasn't really very good at it, and here we are in a prison under an ocean I've never heard of. [ But he doesn't seem dismayed, not with the smile he's got. ] All of it definitely isn't anything I thought I'd ever see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2014-06-09 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	[It's good to have all those smiles.] What sorts of things did you think you'd see? Were you in school at home? [These questions are related in her mind, okay?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mumbled_truth 2014-06-12 02:30 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I was. [ It makes sense, somehow, to him. ] I'm not sure I'd ever given it much thought. All that was important was... doing well, doing what I was expected to do, and getting through high school and then into a university. I don't think I ever really got past that.

	[She can understand that sort of thinking.] What were you expected to do? [Did it involve princessing, because she can really relate to that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-06-05 02:04 am UTC (link)
	[He nodded.] Do you perhaps need some help? [He was hesitant in asking.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-06-10 04:03 am UTC (link)
	[He seemed a bit surprised, and almost stepped back.] If you need it, I do not mind. [Because what was being social and helpful when it came to cooking and other lifestyle activities?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trial_by_veda 2014-06-11 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	[Fun wasn't his reason for asking, but he kept that to himself.] Very well. [He glanced at both their dishes for a moment.] Should we just start over? [It might be easier...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
