Welcome to Gaia! ::

Once to the entrance of the Dinning Room Camilla puts on her best smile and heads over to the Horsewoman's table "And here's dessert! Please enjoy!" She says cheerfully trying to be as cheerful and professional as she could unfortunately anybody could see if they looked in her eyes that she was tired and just by looking at all the bite marks and scratches on her arms one could tell she had had a trying day...

But Camilla did her best to cover these things up and maintain her natural hostess face however she did linger a bit after presenting her final dish to the Horsewoman and finally sighs "I'm sure you've noticed the mistakes that were made... I apologize for them..." she says politely and bows a bit she knew full well a chief like the Horsewoman would notice the mistakes and decided to just fess up and own up to her mistakes

Dish 1: Panty Crabs Risotto



The first one was the appetizer, while AJ quickly tossed two asleep Panty Crabs into the boiling water, the curious Head got itself clamped by a crab. It flung vigorously to get rid of it, sending it flew over the air like a kunai towards the opposite station. "Sorry!" It apologized with tears. The contestant over that station swept the crab off the platform and swore loudly, wielding the sharp knife in angry foreign language.

To make a thoroughly boiled crab, you just need to watch until the color of the shell changed color. For medium-rare, the timing needed to be precisely adjusted. Getting the crab out, AJ rinsed them with cold water, took the panties away and used a small hammer to crush the small legs gently. He carefully extracted the perfect shape of leg meats and set aside for cooling.

"Mushroom." He asked the Head to deliver the aromatic mushrooms but there were two kinds of mushrooms provided, the Head gave him the blue mushrooms instead. The boil was a bit careless and didn't realize that, the mushrooms were sauteed. On another pan, the rice was added first, and followed by the crabs with enough cooling. After the rice coated with a nice pale golden color, he added in the booberry brandy and stirred constantly until the wine is absorbed.

Five minutes had passed, and AJ added the seared blue mushrooms into the pan with rice. Feeling the rice wasn't moist enough, he poured in more brandy, but maybe too much. The rice soaked in the wine gave off an almost intoxicating scent. Oil was coated nicely onto each of the rice while the rice slowly absorbed the wine and changing from hard raw into al dente state.

Removed from the heat, he tasted it and shaved in bits of Gingerbreak to enhance the flavour and added in some spiciness. AJ mixed it well and transferred the RIPsotto into a plate, shook evenly and inserted the perfect crab legs he got from another crab into the rice. The viscosity was good for supporting the standing crab leg in medium-rare.

Wiping the plate clean, he delivered the appetizer to the customer. A strong brandy scented could be sniffed and the blue color looked a bit off from the dish but other than that, it looked nice. "Sir, here's your RIPsotto, please enjoy."

Considering the required time to make the main course, he needed to return to the kitchen immediately and he did so.

The monster horse always had a soft spot for the ghouls and because of that he was more lenient with the wait time. He grinned widely at the spicy scent that reached his nose and began to dig in with a gusto. He didn't even notice the pastry's "sloppiness," it all tasted wonderfully!

He waved at Indu to approach so he could shake her hand, "Y' got some might fine cookin' hands there. Could'v been bit more spicy but y' nailed the savoriness down pat. Magaling at masarap!"

Beats noticed that most of the other contestants were making more than one dish. He checked his notes. He checked it again. Yup, only one dish. Was that good or bad? Beats couldn't tell, no pressure and no worries~

With an amiable smile, he began to search for the instructions, finding them in the bottom of a pot of all places! Nonplussed, the shoe haunt made sure that the panty crabs had no panties when he boiled them and made good use of his intangibility to extract all the meat he could grab. It was unfortunate that he ended up sauteing the mushroom at the wrong temperature and they came out a little overdone. But rather than feel down with his mistake, Beats maintained an upbeat attitude and proceeded to cook the rice with the crab meat, adding in the brandy with the overdone mushrooms.

And because the recipe demanded for more brandy, Beats poured in more brandy! The gingerbreak bits were shaved in next, followed by setting the right temperature but he used too much oil. Oops, he nearly nearly used the panty to cover the burnt bits but remembered the customer's request and was forced to serve the RIPsotto commando.

There we go. There we go! Suffering from a severe lack of appreciation, finally receiving her first complement on the show had a visible effect on Indu. The ghoul swelled, practically lifting off the ground. Face going pink, her smile melted from forced to genuine. "Thank you! Thank you very much!!! It was my pleasure!!!!!" She barely remembered to stick her hand out in return, then giddily tottered back to the kitchen, radiating smiles at anyone who crossed her path.

Returning to her section, Maddie frowned at the plethora of ingredients splayed all over the counter, as well as some on the floor.
Where were the dang instructions?
... well whatever. She was sure she could make those dishes blindfolded, easy peasy.

True to her word, Maddie literally blindfolded herself, and prepared to feel her way around.
Panty Crabs Risotto meant it needed panty crabs.
She felt around the table until she found something that moved, and felt like it was wearing lingerie (gross), and proceeded to pick it up, waving her other arm around until it connected with something metal, nearly knocking the pot over. The crab was being really annoying, so she decided to kill it first and then put it in, so it'd stop trying to pince her.
ALRIGHT FIRST STEP DONE. Next was...

She remembered something about mushrooms, and beer, or something.
Using her amazing sense of smell (it was beary amazing), she sniffed out the mushrooms, slashing away at them with her claws until she considered they were mince-size, and then gathered them. About half of it fell on the floor, and then the other half somehow made it into the pan. Time to fire it up.

While the mushrooms were cooking, Maddie proceeded to feel around for another pan, put it on the stove, and turned some dials. Next was... rice? Yes, risotto had rice. Rice was harder to sniff out, so she just proceeded to poke any packaging she felt, puncturing holes in them until what sounded like rice grains spilling out made her stop.
She picked up the rice bag, and poured a sizable amount into the pan, a good portion of it ending up ON the stove instead, and then sniffed around for the beer (or was it brandy...), picking it up and dumped the whole bottle into the rice.

Oh right, there were also some crumbly bits in that dish.
She literally swept whatever crumbs were on the counter into a plate.

She forgot if it was better to be overcooked or undercooked. That chef said she had overcooked her dish in the preliminary round, but what did he know? Burnt stuff tasted awesome.
She literally burnt everything. Except the rice.

ALRIGHT FIRST DISH DOWN, time to see how she did.

Sucre rushed forward, slowing her speed as she approached a squinched faced diner. She just needed to up the charm and hope it gets to the guy.

"Hello, I'm Sucre and I'll be serving and preparing your food today. What would you like to order, it is all fangtastical!"

His expression remained pinched and bored as he replied " I want everything."
Sucre started "Very good cho..." but was interrupted as he added, "Twice." Sucre gulped hard but regained her cheery demeanor, "of course, I'd definitely want two desserts myself, I'll get right on it."

Inwardly she was terrified, she would get the double order!
