I13DT: Physical Principles in Food Processing

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 3:14 pm

Altamira, as part of her bet with Nailah, had to attend classes for a week. She chose to follow Kevin's schedule around, because that was a hell of a lot easier than making something up. This went fine, if boringly, during the traditional math and science courses, with Mira yawning her way through them.

When it came to Kevin's culinary classes, however, Mira was slightly more out of her depth.

Thus, the Phoenix found herself, wearing her apron, wrangling with a bag of flour in a kitchen, grumbling up a storm.

((Wiiiiiide open.))

"Ze mysteries of ze universe pale before zose of ze kitchen, no?" the nearby Kevin said in his best/worst French accent, smirking.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 3:45 pm

"This is so much easier if you don't have to think about raw ingredients," Mira pouted. "Just poof, and you have a cake. Why is that so difficult?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 3:50 pm

"The rest of us don't have cosmic creation powers?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 3:58 pm

"Well, hurry up and evolve, you crazy monkey," Mira said, flicking some flour at him, and probably drawing an annoyed glance from the lab instructor.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 6:15 pm

"Is that how creation happened the first time?" Victoria mused from her stove, where she was used to the annoyed glares. "Just poof, and there was the finished product?"

by **Kevin Gravis** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 6:52 pm

"That does seem a little uninspired for the creation of the universe. There should at least be a tremendous kaboom."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 10:29 pm

"No, that was quite a bit more...dramatic. From what I recall. It's a little hazy.

It's also more important than this lousy cake."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 10:33 pm

"Creation is creation," Victoria mused. Was she smirking? She wasn't looking over at her. But it was Victoria. She was probably smirking.

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 10:34 pm

"These instructions are faulty." Ashlie complains in the background, a whisk instead of a hand, staring into her bowl that contains a clumpy mess of flour and water.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 10:37 pm

"This isn't even creation. This is... baking."

by **Victoria Valentine** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 10:39 pm

"It's a process that produces an end result that wasn't there to start with. Is there another way to describe creation?" Victoria countered conversationally.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 10:57 pm

"Oh, concentrate on your baking before, I dunno, I deconstruct you, molecule by molecule or something," she laughed, dismissively.

by **Victoria Valentine** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 10:59 pm

"Now now... I don't let people get that personal until they've bought me dinner."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 11:04 pm

"Sorry, hun, I already have a date," she said, winking at Kevin.

by **ASHLIE** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 11:06 pm

There's a the high-pitched whine and crash of a super accelerated mixing bowl full of badly mixed batter oscillating beyond it's braking point, resulting in Ashlie's chassis being coated in a flour/egg/water mixture.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 10:04 am

"Though I prefer my molecules constructed. None of this kinky molecular deconstruction for moi."

Kevin used a wooden spoon give his mixed up cake batter a taste.

"And damn this cake is going to rock."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 5:31 pm

"I can create and destroy entire solar systems. There must be something faulty in this flour, or something."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 5:20 pm

Frustrated, Altamira dumped the contents of the bowl into the sink.

"Cooking is dumb."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 7:19 pm

"You won't say that when you taste what I'm cooking you for dinner."

by **Melody Martens** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:23 pm

"The days you bring snacks to team practice are usually the best," Melody nodded from her station near Kevin and Mira.

"Though I think I do up snack day better than you," she smirked, pouring her batter into a cake pan.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:27 pm

"Do not contradict the Phoenix...unless you make those little cheesy things. I like...er...the Phoenix demands little cheesy things."

by **Melody Martens** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:32 pm

"Of course I make the cheesy things. I make multiple kinds of cheesy things." she grinned.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:39 pm

'Mira opened a previously closed cabinet and pulled out a different bag of flour, of a different brand.

"Right. One more attempt at making cupcakes, and if it fails, I'm going to declare baking an enemy of life. Or something. I'd have to look up the bylaws about that."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:51 pm

Kevin poured his batter and put his cake pan into his oven.

"Those spicy Cheese Straw things? Those are awesome... and easy as hell to make."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:54 pm

"Yes. Spicy. The spicier, the better," Mira said, dumping in a shitload of cocoa into her flour mix.

by **Melody Martens** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 10:43 pm

"Not every meal need be beef Wellington," she smirked.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Apr 18, 2014 11:40 pm

"Don't tell Lord More that; he might start a riot," she said, vigorously attacking her mixture with a wooden spoon.

by **Melody Martens** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 8:42 am

"I might do that just to aggravate that pompous dbag," she snickered.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 12:50 pm

Mira poured her batter into a couple cupcake trays. "Stupid bet. I could get these things to work perfectly if I wanted to, but nooooo."

by **Melody Martens** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 3:03 pm

"You look like you're doing fine," she smiled helpfully. "Just don't pour so fast, you're spilling and all of that extra will burn."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 4:10 pm

"Yes. Yes! Burn, in the light of the Phoenix!" she said, overdramatically.

by **Melody Martens** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 6:17 pm

Melody smirked, “Look, I get that fire is kind of your schtick, but do you really enjoy the taste of burnt cupcakes?”

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 6:27 pm

"Maybe it's the hot new taste sensation that's sweeping the nation."

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 6:48 pm

"Buy some Phoenix brand cupcakes today! They're chartastic!"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 7:05 pm

"I will TRY not to burn them, but no matter what, YOU'RE going to eat them and LIKE them."

by **Melody Martens** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 7:55 pm

"Oh damn, you just got told," she grinned.

by **Kevin Gravis** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 8:36 pm

"Of course I will. Because the secret ingredient is love... and maybe long dead galaxies."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:13 pm

"No long dead galaxies today, just the right flour. I hope."

by **Melody Martens** » Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:22 pm

Melody put her cake into the oven and set a timer on the stove.

Man how do you even date a cosmic power? she mused to herself.

"Don't worry. Your cupcakes will probably turn out better than Kevin's cake," she teased.
