Community center class: Yes, You Can Actually Cook

[vdistinctive]

Eliot wasn't entirely certain if the cooking classroom had always been in the community center, or if the building had just happened to grow one when he decided to teach a cooking class here this summer. He was reasonably certain he was in the same place he'd taken that psychics class, but he didn't remember it having a selection of full sized

Listen to the lecture

[vdistinctive]

Eliot can go on for DAYS about this. At least he isn't making you all call him "chef" and repeating "FOOD IS LIFE" at you like a weird new-age drill sergeant.

Kanan was actually paying fairly rapt attention as he watched Eliot work. Of course he was familiar with eggs, just not ones that looked exactly like those, and milk, mostly of a more blue persuasion. He couldn't place the veggies, exactly, but he was going to just roll with it and assume that Eliot knew what he was talking about.

Yeah, he was starting to get the feeling that he could probably get away with cooking his own meals around here without accidentally killing himself, just as soon as he got himself something to cook his food in. That was reassuring.

Ringo mostly paid attention to Eliot's explanation, but part of her attention was on sweeping her eyes across the room. She'd know that this was a community class, and that some of the adults on the island would probably be here, but she was feeling distinctly outnumbered.

Which, actually, she could live with. It was just a weird feeling!

Karla was just remembering the last time she had to do battle with eggs. Of course, she was just a kid back then; she was sure to be much better now.

On the other hand, she had two children with her. That could make things...distinctly interesting.

Scramble some eggs

[vdistinctive]

Too runny? Too firm? Cajun style? Eliot thinks these are pretty idiot proof, but I'm sure there's someone who can prove him wrong

Re: Scramble some eggs

[uncertain_dume]

Yeah, eggs were pretty straightforward. Kanan just followed Eliot's lead, managed to crack the thing open without getting any shells in the bowl, and scrambled.

Okay, good. A few more things to add to the list of food from around here that he could trust himself not to poison himself with. Brown eggs and white milk.

Yeah, John could scramble eggs, it was one of the things he did know how to cook. Of course, he was going to use today as an excuse to fry up an egg instead, because mmmmmmmmmm egg-fry, and possibly dump a ton of sriracha sauce on top.

Jaina could make eggs! She was trying her hand at an omelet because it was slightly different, but she couldn't really screw it up.

Screwing up an omelet really only meant you accidentally made scrambled eggs.

Talk to Eliot

[vdistinctive]

He might even ask you your name. If he doesn't know it already.

Re: Talk to Eliot

"So," once he had an edible-looking plate of scrambled eggs, Kanan wandered over to have a chat with Eliot. Did you miss him, Eliot? "The Baby's gone. Detonated it out in the mountains the other night. Learned what bears are. Quite an experience."

It was still a step up from having to talk to the bucketheads in the Trooper station about the possibility of safely storing the stuff, mind. That wasn't going to happen. Ever.

Re: Talk to Eliot

[vdistinctive]

"Good to hear. Well, not about the bears." Though Eliot was wondering just how similar to the bears he was thinking of the ones Kanan had met were. They were in space, after all. "Far as I know we don't have any of those on the island. We do have alots, which go on occasional rampages, but they're pretty easy to avoid if you don't spend a lot of time in the Preserve."

Re: Talk to Eliot

[uncertain_dume]

The bears had been big, and had been aggressive, and normally Kanan could work around that without having to just outright kill an animal, but when baradium was brought into the picture there was really no reasoning with them.

Er, so to speak.

"Alots? I take it they're big and not afraid to heft their weight around?"

That's kind of what 'rampage' suggested, at least.

OOC

[vdistinctive]

Yeah, I'm bringing a prepackaged frozen meal to work for lunch today. But I have definitely lived on scrambled eggs with steam-in-the-bag veggies before.

Re: OOC

[uncertain_dume]

... I signed Sparkle up for this, but it occurs to me that Mister-doesn't-know-what-a-salmon-is stands to benefit from this one significantly more. So lucky you, you get a Kanan! Ain't Community Center Class randomness grand?

And steam-in-the-bag veggies are a special sort of magic. They beat out canned sliced potatoes by... a lot. I say this with some authority.

Re: OOC

[vdistinctive]

Just to note: I'm also not going to object to having both, or Sparkle and Kanan switching off.

Thus is the joy of the community center class!

<.< I love community center stuff for exactly this reason, yes I do.
