Basic Cookery, Period One, Thursday
Today, the students had been handwavily notified to meet at the deck area outside of the dorms. When they arrived, they'd find a fire crackling away in one of the firepits, and piles of graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate squares on a nearby table.
But what about that forecast that predicted scattered thunderstorms? Well, luckily for Thor's students, he was someone who could do something about that. So for the hour or so that their class would take, everyone would be able to enjoy clear, sunny skies.
"The 's'more' is an important traditional food during Midgardian summers," Thor began. That... wasn't entirely accurate, of course, but it was more or less true of the general area of Midgard with which he was familiar, so close enough. "It is created by heating the confectionary called a 'marshmallow' over a flame, and then placing it upon a square of chocolate and enclosing the chocolate and marshmallow with two cookies. The end result is rather like a small sandwich, and is quite delicious!" Thor grinned, placing a marshmallow on a roasting stick and holding it out over the fire. "There is much debate as to what constitutes the proper amount of roasting- I have found many people are quite adamant that a golden-brown is the ideal desired result, while still others argue that the marshmallow must be cooked until it catches fire. Feel free to experiment and figure out which you prefer!" he encouraged the students, plucking the toasted marshmallow from the stick and adding the graham crackers and chocolate. "Now go ahead, give it a try!"
