Student's Name: Sepphora
Recipe: Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers

Short RP response of them turning it in for approval:
Today they were actually going to get to cook? Awesome! Sepphora began to look through different recipes to spawn ideas of something she might like to make. Of course she had a taste for more complex things, so narrowing things down to a three ingredient recipe was going to be a bit of a task. After some search, she actually found something that sounded pretty good! Getting up from her seat, she walked over to Ms. Hehkua and showed her a recipe for cream cheese filled bacon wrapped jalapenos! "I don't know about you, but to me that sounds super yummy." she said with a big smirk on her face.

*Fails at rolling*

Bustling about, trying to keep an eye on everything at once, Sokeri raised her head as a student approached her, taking a few steps forward to meet with them.

"Sepphora, right? Alright, whatcha got?"

Reaching out for the offered recipe, she scanned it and then nodded. She wasn't sure on their stock of jalapenos, but if not this would still work and be a great lesson in improvisation as well.

"Give me a moment to check and see what we have in terms of peppers, but I know we have the other two. Scrub up and start preheating the oven at your station and I'll be there in a moment."

While rummaging in the supplies, she heard her name being called out. Grabbing what was needed, she scuttled over to the student that was looking at her questioningly. Listening to Rica's idea, she nodded her approval. There wasn't too much trouble a student could get into with a microwave, and Nine knew, the latest craze of one-minute meals prepared in a cup in a microwave was probably a breath of relief for university students everywhere.

"Looks good, you should find all three in the supplies fridge in the back. Holler if you need help, and make sure you wash your hands before food prep."

With that taken care of, she went to Sepphora's station, depositing a package of cream cheese, bacon, and a couple of peppers.

"Didn't have too many jalapenos, but hopefully there's enough here to make at least a sample for everyone. I also brought a bell pepper if you wanted to cut it into quarters and try as well."

After washing her hands and then directing Sepphora to wash the peppers, she helped cut the first few and then just watched as her student handled the rest.

"Ok, good. Go ahead and assemble, but come grab me when you're ready for them to go in the oven."



You may proceed with your second post! It is fine to assume that once the poppers are prepped for the oven, Sepphora alerted Sokeri and she just came over to watch for safety reasons as Sepphora put them in the oven, and to take them back out again.

Otherwise if you like, you can quote me again and I can write a response once Sepphora's done with prep. Whichever works for you.



You may proceed with your second post!

Once she had the go-ahead from the teacher, as well as help with the supplies, Sepphora watched as the first few peppers were cut in preparation. Giving a nod to Ms. Hehkua, she took over from there, washing her hands first, of course. Cooking wasn't new to her. She began in the kitchen when she was a little 'tatter tot' as her parents so lovingly called her. After the peppers were taken care of, bell included, she proceeded to scoop the cream cheese into them. Wrapping with bacon to follow. Sliding the tooth picks through to hold the bacon in place was the last step before putting them in the oven. She waved to her teacher, who came to observe and make sure all went well with sliding the sheet pan into the oven. The timer was set and now all that was left was to wait.

It felt like forever for the timer to go off, but at least cleaning her station took up a good amount of the wait. The smell of peppers and bacon teased her nose and soon the timer went off. She called her teacher over once more, and once Ms. Hehkua was there to supervise, she cracked the oven to take a peek. Perfection! The bacon had gotten a lovely color and the cream cheese had this light golden look in places where it wasn't hidden beneath the meaty wrap. Quickly turning the appliance off, oven mitts at the ready, Sepphora pulled the pan from the oven and set it on a cooling rack she had made sure to get out. "They're gonna be hot for a few, but they should cool down soon~ I'm pretty sure there's enough for the class... if they are brave enough!" she said with a chime in her tone and a smirk on her face.

She gave them a couple minutes of cooling before pulling the toothpicks out and setting them on a serving platter. Of course they were still a bit on the hot-ish side, but they were cool enough!... to her at least. She never really had the patience to wait too long when it came to good food! "Enjoy~, but be careful. They might still be a little hot."

Student's Name: Katinka
Recipe: Insanely Easy 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Tinka had never really put much thought into cooking, but she did really enjoy eating. It made sense to at least try to take a cooking class to learn some basics anyways! She didn't have anyone else to teach her these sort of things anyways. As she poked through recipe after recipe, it took her a little time to find something that would be easy for a beginner, but still yummy! Then she hit the jackpot! The mother of all easy and delish recipes! Peanut. Butter. Cookies. She had to try these! Hopping up, she ran up to Sokeri, holding it up in front of her face. "I want to make these, please!"

Sliding over to Rica's station once Sepphora was set, she checked to make sure Rica was ok with cutting up the ham before moving on to pick up the paper left on her desk by Ustule. This was a good one, and needed minimum supervision. She'd just need to watch for a bit to make sure the stove top was dealt with properly. Sokeri was rather proud of this class, no trouble makers to worry about and everyone had been very responsible.

"Ustule? You're set! This looks good, and we should have everything. Let me know once you have everything mixed and are preping the pan so I can swing by."

Suddenly student! Leaning back so she could actually see what was being held up to her rather than just a wall of paper, Sokeri laughed and took the sheet to scan it. Simple cookies, so only the oven to worry about.

"Ok Katinka, get the peanut butter and sugar out of the stock cabinets and there should still be plenty of eggs. Go ahead and do everything up until the point of putting the cookie sheets into the oven, then come snag me so I can watch while you do that to be safe."

Turning the sheet back over to her, her attention was turned to the Grimm that called out for her and Sokeri walked over to his table and looked down at the magazine. Mashed potatoes were definitely one of those things that could be dressed up or down as needed. This was going to be one of the projects she'd need to check repeatedly on though. Lots going on, and a lot of potential for injury. Still, her students had all been well mannered and she doubted that Keegan would be tossing knives as it were.

"I'll peel and cut up the first few with you, and show you how to slip them into the hot pot so you're not getting splashed with boiling water, but after that I'll let you off the hook, but come grab me if you get nervous or just need an extra set of hands."

Good on her word, she cycled through all the students, lending a hand here or keeping a watchful eye there. She'd be sleeping well tonight after all the running around, but that was always part of the excitement of the culinary field. You were kept hopping, and it was always good to see students actually wanting to cook.

Checking on the seniors here and there as they went about their cake mistake creations, answering questions and just keeping a general eye on the lot, it looked like everyone was fending for themselves rather well. Good, good. Maybe some kind soul would let her sample some of their creations afterwards, these were turning out good.
