Antonio hummed as he began to get the classroom ready for the students. The room was being set up a bit differently than it had been before, as they were going to definitely be doing work into here today. In fact, the Muggle Studies classroom suddenly had been transformed into, of all things, a kitchen, complete with oven, refrigerator, work tables, cabinets, lots of different kinds of foods and baking supplies such as pans, mixing bowls, everything a cook could possibly imagine. Well, this lesson should be interesting. It was about time for a hands on lesson, Antonio thought. The way things had been going at the castle, the students might need something to occupy their minds, and they could fill their stomachs at the end. That was always a good thing.

"Come in and take a seat," Antonio greeted the students. "We'll have a quick lesson and then get into the really fun part. I think most of you can see what I have in mind for later on." He smiled. "Discussion first, though, so take a seat."

ooc: My posting here is probably going to be intermittent, as I have to go to my work and the people there are fanatical. The lesson will move along throughout the day and over the course of the weekend, don't get nervous because I will be back and checking in from time to time! After the lesson, there will be homework, as well (as usual).

And remember - behave yourselves in this classroom! I see all!

"Then after we finish stirring this stuff in we have to put even amounts into the shells. So each of you after you are done putting your ingrediant in, come lay out a shell." He said walking over to the counter after adding the salt in he layed a soft tortilla shell on the counter.

"Yummm....tomato sauce," she said, stepping forward to add that in. Alright, she needed fifteen ounces of the sauce, which was pretty much just one full can. After popping the can open, Anna turned it upside down and let its contents carefully flow out into the mixture. "All done." She held up the empty can, then set it off to the side with the rest of the mess they'd need to clean up later on.

As she stepped away from the food to let someone else add their ingredients in, she shot a little smile towards Paris and Chris. Even though she's apologized for snapping at them, she still felt rather bad for their encounter in Professor Vindictus' office.

Satine listened intently as the orders were handed out...with a giggle she said, "Aye Aye Captain. I'll get the water!" She did a little salute and winked at Chris as she walked to the sink to measure out the water...she hoped he knew she was just picking on him...she was happy someone was in charge.

She made sure the she had exactly 1/2 a cup and headed back to the table. "Here you go guys. Water...Check!" she turned to see the tortillas shells and grabbed one to begin laying it out and getting it ready for the the next step.

"Ah, I have many talents." he nodded. He saw her 'drop' the spoon and smiled. Taking the note and the spoon, he pretended to sneeze (into his elbow, of course. Had to keep the food sanitary) and unwrapped the note. He nodded again and saw her smile. He knew that smile-it was the kind of grin he actually called the 'Natka'.

"Ok, team, I think it's mixed well enough." He poured in the milk and the ground beef in. "One, two, three, four," he stirred the mix a bit, "Five, six,seven, eight," stir, "nine, ten." He counted for the whole minute, then let it sit. "What do the ingrediants say to do next?"

Natka winked at Clark's nod before returning her attentions to the task at hand.

"Gotta put some love into it, Lilly, Natka, that's how my mum always said how to fix em." He nodded and waited for the oven to beep, saying it was done. That would take about three minutes. "In three minutes, it'll beep. Wow, all these herbs smell really good."

Natka watched Clark shaping the meatballs. He was pretty good at this - better probably than she'd ever be, in any case.

Natka turned around at the sound of a girl's voice.

"No, of course not," she said with a smile.

PadfootAndTheWolf · 06-19-2009, 08:33 PM

"great guys we are doing awesome!" he smiled at all the members of his team. "Ok everyone grab their tortilla shells," he grabbed the pot with the mixture in it. "And get just enough to fit into your shell. There should be enough in here for everyone." He said handing a spoon to each person in the group. He took some onto his spoon and placed it in the middle of his shell and spread it evenly over the shell. and then waited for the others to do theirs.

Mrs_Molly_Weasley · 06-19-2009, 08:33 PM

Becca laughed and smiled as Clark and Natka began to sing and dance. "You've got a nice philosophy. I'm sure you'll get quite far with it." she said through laughter. Putting down the next sphere, Rebecca picked up some more squishy meat and repeated the process yet again.

Ingredients:
Meatballs:
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
3 slices bread, crumbled
2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 clove garlic, smashed, minced
1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried leaf oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf basil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large can (28 to 36 ounces total) crushed Italian tomatoes
2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste

Parmesan cheese
Preparation:
Recipe for spaghetti and meatballs

Make meatballs. In a medium bowl, beat eggs lightly; add milk and bread and let stand for about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, onion, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix gently until well blended. Shape into about 24 meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place meatballs in a generously greased large shallow baking pan. Bake meatballs at 450° for 25 minutes.
In a Dutch oven, in hot oil over medium heat, sauté onion until tender and just begins to turn golden. Add remaining sauce ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, if necessary. Add meatballs; cover and simmer 50 to 60 minutes longer, stirring from time to time.

Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain.

Serve spaghetti topped with meatballs in sauce; sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Spaghetti and meatballs serves 6.

Jane skipped to the Italy table and smiled at the meatball lovers there. She got to work on the meatballs and got a really sweet idea. While she was mixing the ingredients for the meatballs, she looked over at Christian at another table and smiled and him. She mouthed to him, 'This is soo fun!!' before looking down at her mixing bowl again to check it. She rummaged the cabinets behind her, hoping they were not just there for decoration, some drawers were but she found a heart shaped cookie cutter and smiled.

She began pounding her meatballs with her palm after rolling them. SPLAT. ROLL. SPLAT. ROLL. SPLAT. ROLL. SPLAT. After she made them flat, she held the cookie cutter above them, making sure the meat is big enough for the shape. She gently pressed down on the meat and took the sides away. She smiled at the heart shaped meatball. He's gonna love this!!She thought and giggled. Jane took the bits and pieces of meat outside all the heart shapes and repeated the shaping process until she got about 27 heart shaped meatballs instead of 24 round ones. She put them to bake and started working on the sauce.

Lilly burst out laughing at this display of pure foolishness. "you're crazy Clark crazy!" she said while still laughing. "well it looks like that's all the meatballs." Lilly said while grabbing the last bit of meat. "ok what's next?" she said

Aaron listened to him. normally, Aaron would like to take charge, but he fiured the older kids would. "I'll get started on the shells, sir!" Aaron said mocking Satine and walking over to the shells on the counter. He began to lay them out for the enchilladas. Yummy, these are going to be really good.

Aaron then took a spoon fill of filling and started to fill them up. "Wow, these smell really good." He then looked over to Satine. "Hey, Satine! Howzit?" he said stealing her line. "Long time no chat. We should talk after class!"

"In a Dutch oven, in hot oil over medium heat, sauté onion until tender and just begins to turn golden." Becca read. "Okay so... let's get at that." said Becca as she set the oven and put the onions on it.

Lezleighd · 06-19-2009, 08:38 PM

Satine took her spoon from Chris with a quick "Thanks" and started spreading the mixture on her shell. Wow this was a lot easier to do with all these extra hands...it usually took her grandmother and her a long time to make enchiladas. "Wow, our group just absolutely RAWKS!" she said as she watched the progress of the other groups compared to theirs.

Seeing Aaron, she smiled but kept it quick so there wasn't too much conversation, "Yes, I've missed you guys."

"Put the meatballs in the pan," he said as the oven beeped. He opened it up and slipped the pan in and set it for 25 min. It began to tick."Now do something with the onion," he stepped away from Natka with a wink to read the cook book. "Sautee it in a dutch oven until it turns about golden." But he was beaten by Becca. "Oh, thanks Becca." he smiled at the younger girl and looked at the clock. "So we have 22 minutes to do whatever." He stepped back to Natka. "There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy." he started singing again and dancing.

Tommehbell · 06-19-2009, 08:43 PM

She nodded as Chris told them to start filling their shells, she wanted to just grab a spoon and start eating it, but she put the mixture into her shell. "We should go down to the kitchens and cook something tonight." she told him. Sort make it a date.

Iris laughed as she over heard Aaron mocking Satine over at the other table. Why had she picked to make sheperds pie? It was boring. Either way ,she finished added the last few things into the Shelperds pie before putting it in the oven. There wasn't much else to do now so she made sure that everything in her work space was relatively tidy.

Aaron laughed at that comment. "Yeah, I'm sure the house elves need a break. I bet they could cook this stuff in 5 seconds... AND FOR HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS, TOO!" Aaron just imagined all of them in chefs outfits cooking. Haha, that would be a sight to see.

Ooooh cooking and eating: two of her fave things.

"Hi Sarah! I'm Miranda. Out of the choices here, I figured this was the one I was most familiar with...so least likely to screw it up!" She giggled.

I do recognize there are four separate styles of cooking involved, actually far more than that, but we are only going to be worried about the one dish today. It's just an example of the different types of cooking that are available here in the U.K., just a cooking exercise, really. Does that make sense?", Antonio asked. "If I had my way I would let you all make haggis and such, but unfortunately I just can't do that today. However, if any of you are really craving that, my wife knows how to make it pretty well!"

Antonio sent a cookbook flying to each station, which contained -

U.K. - Shepherd's Pie

Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs ground round beef
1 onion chopped
1-2 cups vegetables - chopped carrots, corn, peas
1 1/2 - 2 lbs potatoes (3 big ones)
8 tablespoons butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt, pepper, other seasonings of choice
Method
1 Peel and quarter potatoes, boil in salted water until tender (about 20 minutes).

2 While the potatoes are cooking, melt 4 Tablespoons butter (1/2 a stick) in large frying pan.

3 Sauté onions in butter until tender over medium heat (10 mins). If you are adding vegetables, add them according to cooking time. Put any carrots in with the onions. Add corn or peas either at the end of the cooking of the onions, or after the meat has initially cooked.

"All the ingredients are there for everything you need, I made sure of it," Antonio said. "You may all begin working on your recipes. We can easily multiply the food if it isn't enough, you will all be able to sample the food. If this goes well today, perhaps we will make desserts at a later lesson."

Miranda made a face at the mention of haggis. She tried it all of once, that was once too many times in her opinion. She looked over the ingredients at their station.

Iris then read the ingredients for the Sheperds' Pie. Eww... Worcestershire sauce. Robert tried to drown her in it once. Iris got together the ingredients she would need and began to get everything sorted out. She then looked at the other Slytherin who was at the UK table with her, "Shall we share it all out?" She asked before she carried on any further.

"Sure! I'll peel and cook the potatoes, I don't mind."

Torchwood · 06-19-2009, 08:58 PM

Jack filled his tortilla, making sure that it was spread out to the ends, then carefully rolled it, making sure that it was tight enough that the filling didn't fall out, but not so tight that the tortilla would crack and tear. Then he carefully placed it in the pan.

When my mum makes these, she puts all the ingredients inside, then she wraps the enchilada into a small, little...hmm...wrapped-type object. Sorry, I'm not really good with cooking. Anyway, if we're going to wrap the enchiladas, we might not want to cover the entire tortilla with the ingredients." Nevertheless, Anna grabbed a tortilla shell and put a bit of the ingredients inside. She left enough room on the shell in case they were going to wrap the enchiladas.

"Unfortunately, I don't think any of us will be going down to the kitchens anytime soon. Last I heard, the water level had rose to the ceiling, which makes me really worried that the water will spill over onto the ground floor soon," she said. "I heard that the house elves are even living with Professor Morgan in her hut."

Chris shook his head at Anna's suggestion. "Yes I think we are going to wrap them so everybody who is going to wrap make sure you have room to do so." he wrapped his up and placed it on the tray and waited for the others to do it too. "And when everyone is finished wrapping their's someone will need to put the cheese and taco sause on it.. Then we can place it in the oven for 20 minutes." He smiled. "then we can eat them!" he said looking at the excitement on their faces.

He then turned to Paris after Ana spoke to confirm the news. "It's true Paris, we wil have to do it some other time because unfortuneatly the Kitchens are flooded completely."

After a few minutes, Becca walked back over to the oven and checked on the onions. "Perfect!" Becca exclaimed as she opened the oven(oven mitts on) and saw a beautiful golden color on them. "Okay, we can take them out now." she said as she pulled the oven tray closer to herself and took the onions off of it. She shut the heat off on the oven and set the onions down on the table. "Mkay, what's next?" Becca asked

Wesley watched silently as the three girls worked. She wanted to help- Really! But she was scared she would just mess up. Wesley was an awful cook. Each time she opened her mouth to ask if she could help, she closed it. What if the they don't want my help? What if they are angry at me. I don't know why should would be, I haven't done anything wrong- I haven't said anything...but why aren't talking to me? Or smiling? Or something? Actually, Wesley wasn't even positive the girls knew she was there in the same kitchen. The small Hufflepuff had a bad habit of blending in with her surroundings. Being quiet, shy, and really petite did that to you.

One of the Slytherin girl's chuckled, apparently one of the rowdier tables had said something funny. Wesley turned bright red. Her group was so quiet. She could just tell the Slytherin was pining to be in a different group. maybe I am boring...I don't want to be boring! I'm just...scared. The small girl bit her lip, angry at herself for letting her partner and group down.

Anxiously watching the pie bake in the oven, she smoothed her checkered apron. "Ummmm...D-do y-you th-think m-maybe w-we s-should w-wash the-the d-dishes?" she asked shyly, finally getting the courage to talk. The other girl seemed to have everything under control, but Wesley wanted to help too. And it wasn't like she could mess up cleaning dishes. Except for glass...I might break it...and knifes...so sharp! Wesley extremely disliked (because to Wesley, hate is a scary word) anything pointy. And blood. She was scared of blood. The tiny first-year shuddered, holding her hands close to her eyes so she could make sure they weren't bleeding. Not that she had touched any knifes today. Just making sure, that's all. Just convincing herself and her over-active imagination.

"Hey, Are you ok? you seem a bit jumpy. what's up?" Iris said to the other first year, "yeah, I suppose we better clear away some of the vegetable peelings and the pots that we don't need any more. Save us a job later!" She added smiling, Listening to the other girl, "I'm Iris By the way." Iris finished, smiling friendly at the girl.
