Default Charms Lesson 1: Now We're Cooking!

It's a cool morning in late October, just a few days before Halloween, when today's charms class begins. In honor of the upcoming holiday, the room is decorated with paper bats and jack-o-lanterns, and just for today students are allowed to wear costumes. Even the professor is getting in on the action with a costume of his own. As you walk into the room, you'll find Professor Marchand standing at the front of the room, leaning against the balckboard with one hand tucked behind his back. If you look closely, you'll notice he looks a little thinner and paler than usual. And are those dark circles under his eyes? Or is that just part of his costume?

And the professor's appearance isn't the only unusual thing. On the refreshment table at the back of the room is a container of hot apple cider for the students to enjoy, but today there are no snacks laid out! Why are there no snacks? Is this part of the lesson? Only time will tell.

OOC: Welcome to the first OOC charms lesson of the term! Class will start in ABOUT 24 HOURS (2:30 AM EDT May 20) HAS STARTED! And don't forget to post a pic of your charrie's Halloween costume!

Text Cut: ”Popcorn Ball Recipe”
Ingredients
2 cups unpopped popcorn
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Pour unpopped popcorn into one bowl. Pop corn using a heating charm (Calefacio).

In the other bowl, melt butter using a heating charm. While one partner is doing this, the other stirs in the sugar, molasses, and salt. Continue to heat by moving wand evenly over the entire surface of the mixture. This process should take about 5 minutes.

Pour mixture over corn, while stirring popcorn thoroughly. Butter hands lightly. Shape popcorn into 12 to 14 balls, and decorate with candy bits if desired.

Cool finished popcorn balls with a cooling charm (Frigidus), and enjoy!
