Second Floor Common Room; Sunday Evening [09/15].

After a trip into town, Tisarwat returned to the dorms, changed into something a little more comfortable than her uniform, and then headed with her bags to the common room with an air of determination. With the ubiquitous nature of so many ungloved, uncivilized hands everywhere here, she still couldn't bring herself to trust the food prepared on the island. She was sure it was safe and she understood that latex gloves were a thing, but the idea of it just made her feel weird. But with no decade to do this sort of thing for her, she figured she had better start learning how to actually cook.

She'd done well with cutting up some fruits and vegetables; if she had issues with that, she should just give up right then and there. But the real challenge would come, of course, in the packaged noodle dish she'd picked up to try, the one that left her wondering how anything that had boasted "Quick and Easy!" on the packaging would require so many different pots. But she got it going, and it seemed to be going well enough. Frowning, though, she looked over the instructions on the box again while waiting for it to heat up, flipping the package around in her hands to make sure she wasn't missing anythi--

Ssssssss.

"Fuck!"

Tisarwat dropped the package to rush over to the stove to lift up the smaller pan as it boiled over, quickly trying to move it to the sink in an effort to curb some of the mess it was making. And as she was there, she noticed the other pan was starting to smoke an awful lot. She dropped te first pot in the sink and went to pull the other one off the burner, looking at the sauce that was definitely burning onto the bottom.

"Aatr's tits!"

All this knowledge and all these memories from dozens of entities and thousands of years of experience, you'd think at least one of them would have picked up how to cook in all that time!

Well. At least she still had the fruit and the vegetables and plenty of the cheese that the weird bear had foisted onto her.

[[ work was the worst today; this post channels my sooooullll. open common room is open! ]]

"What smells like burning?" Sabine asked, coming in to check.
seriesofbaddecisions: (quietly listening)

"Aha. Time to call for pizza?"

Pizza solved everything.
seriesofbaddecisions: (thinking it over)

"Mostly, but I've seen people use a knife and fork."

It was weird, but.

"There's nothing you need to cook for your salad, right?"

Hi, she just met you and already was concerned.

"Sometimes boxes lie," Sabine replied. "What were you trying to do?"
seriesofbaddecisions: (just about neutral)

[personal profile] seriesofbaddecisions 2019-09-15 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh honey.

"Maybe it's a thing to try another day, with a tutorial," Sabine told her. "If there's more, we can try again, but I'd suggest washing out anything that burned first."

And she didn't know how bad that would be.
seriesofbaddecisions: (was that an order or an opinion)

"I'm sure they will be. And I'm sure these pots and pans have already been through a lot."

Given what the students had let happen to the fridge for the last fourteen years...
seriesofbaddecisions: (ehhh)

It was a tragedy that no one could invoke Karla's name right now.

"I don't either, but I can imagine." She didn't look thrilled about imagining it.

"Water, apparently," Trevor replied with the closest to a gooft smile as he got. Look, it was funny!
seriesofbaddecisions: (tell me more)

"...That is a skill," Sabine said, eyebrows raised. "I still like the fallback pizza idea."
crack_that_whip: (idk maybe that guy)

"Pizza is pretty good," he admitted. "Most of the food is here."

He mostly meant it was edible and existed. Also, had yet to try sushi.

"So far. I feel like the options are a little limited in town, though," Sabine admitted. "There's more when you get out on the mainland that I wouldn't mind being closer to try."
crack_that_whip: (wait what)

[personal profile] crack_that_whip 2019-09-15 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"How much more can there be?" Oh, sweet summer child.

"There's almost two hundred countries on this planet, and there's a lot of variations on food between them," she told him.
crack_that_whip: (dully unimpressed)

"I guess?" He just needed to be mildly traumatized by something really spicy.
seriesofbaddecisions: (don't start)

[personal profile] seriesofbaddecisions 2019-09-15 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"You guess?" she repeated.
crack_that_whip: (talking at you)

[personal profile] crack_that_whip 2019-09-15 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"A lot of things seem to be across the board. Dumplings, for instance. Had a lot of those."
seriesofbaddecisions: (hand on hip)

"Yeah, but they can be different depending on the culture," Sabine pointed out. "Noodles in Italian food are different than noodles in Chinese food."
crack_that_whip: (talking at you some more)

[personal profile] crack_that_whip 2019-09-16 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
He looked down at his container of takeout. "Long. Kinda chewy. Seems the same to me."
seriesofbaddecisions: (like it is)

[personal profile] seriesofbaddecisions 2019-09-16 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Why do I feel like you're somehow eating wrong?" Sabine wondered.
