Hannibal nodded at the students as they filed in, pleased to see new faces as well as old. "Hello and good morning. For those of you who haven't met me, I'm Dr. Hannibal Lecter. We will normally be meeting in the Danger Shop, where we've access to whatever tools we'll need, but today is only for introductions and an overview ( Read more... )

Introduce yourself! never_dull January 5 2015, 17:55:40 UTC

Discuss what you know and what you'd like to.

"I'm Kathy Li and I'm a junior," Kathy said, tucking a lock of hair behind her ears. "Umm, I've mostly made cakes from boxes and stuff. And bread in my mom's bread machine. But I have a lot of experience eating baked goods? We live right down the street from a fabulous Korean bakery."

...That had sounded less stupid in her head.

"I'd like to learn how to make baked goods from around the world. Not just the usual cookies and pies that you can buy in any 7-11 in the country."

Hannibal smiled. "As the students who've been in my classes before can tell you, there is little usual or boring about the foods I enjoy. I'm happy to focus on a range of cuisines," he assured her.

"And you may be surprised how useful experience eating can be. If you know what the flavor or texture of something is supposed to be, it can help a great deal."

"Well, if anyone isn't sure whether the filling in that Korean pastry is supposed to look like that, I'm their girl," Kathy said. "And I'm willing to stand as assurance that, yes, red bean paste really is delicious."

Re: Introduce yourself! never_dull January 5 2015, 23:37:54 UTC

"I rather enjoy it myself," Hannibal answered. "And should we try for any Korean pastries, we will definitely be using you as a resource."

Sparkle just grinned a little as he introduced himself to the class. Yeah, he had this.

"I'm Sparkle," he said, because obviously. Hannibal had already pointed him out as TA. "Junior, and, like, the sum total of my baking experience is whatever Hannibal's already taught me to do. Unless Bagel Bites count. I don't think bagel bites count."

Bagel Bites didn't count.

"But I'm looking forward to learning the quick and easy stuff- you know, the stuff I'll probably be living on after high school before I scratch out a place for myself? There, uh, there is quick and easy stuff in baking, right?"

Re: Introduce yourself! never_dull January 5 2015, 23:16:18 UTC

"It doesn't tend to be the quickest and easiest, but I'm certain I can find a few things," Hannibal answered.

Re: Introduce yourself! myownface January 5 2015, 23:18:46 UTC

"And hey, if not, at least I'll be able to impress people with all of my fancy baking skills," Sparkle decided. "I didn't have those before."

Re: Introduce yourself! never_dull January 5 2015, 23:19:55 UTC

"Also true." Hannibal quirked a little smile at him. "And you can always hold a bake sale if you like."

Re: Introduce yourself! myownface January 5 2015, 23:22:02 UTC

"... Oh shit, that is a thing people do, isn't it?"

You've created a monster, Hannibal.

"Well, that's that, then. Bake sales all the time, now. Forever."

Re: Introduce yourself! never_dull January 5 2015, 23:25:48 UTC

"Your final for this class is, you will all be unsurprised to discover, to bake things." Hannibal spread his hands. "I see no reason we couldn't sell them, although I will have to check with the school."

Re: Introduce yourself! myownface January 6 2015, 14:37:34 UTC

"That... would be kind of awesome," Sparkle decreed, grinning. "Kind of trial by fire, too, if you're not the only person who has to eat it."

Sparkle was no stranger to being put on the spot. He'd do fine.

"I'm Cosette, and I'm in my second year, and I can bake some breads and fairly simple pastries and things." As it would not have occurred to her to make them out of a boxed mix, it did not occur to her to specify this. "But I'd like to learn to do more, and I agree with Kathy. Learning how to make things from around the world would be interesting."

Re: Introduce yourself! never_dull January 5 2015, 23:19:07 UTC

"Very good." Hannibal nodded to her. "There are a lot of interesting techniques we can learn, so I'm pleased to find interest in it. And welcome back to my class, Mademoiselle."

Re: Introduce yourself! wildandbrave January 5 2015, 23:30:50 UTC

"I'm glad to be back, Monsieur," Cosette answered, smiling. "The lessons have been useful, and the food wonderful. I look forward to more of both."

"Emma, I'm a senior," Emma said. "And just what I've learnt in class, pretty much."
