Hey Cadelle.

[ Look who got all fancy and is doing this video from the teaching kitchen of the Chop Shop... Makeshift tri-pod and all. ]

I figured there was no time like the present to introduce myself. I'm Kendra Saunders and I'm currently working at The Chop Shop as a Culinary Instructor. I can teach anything from boiling water to making a seven course meal to woo that special person in your life. I'm offering group and private lessons... And I'm even offering a volunteering special.

The Samhain Ball is coming up, as we've been told. I was hoping to help cook some of the food offered there. And I might need help from some people. So think of this as a complimentary crash course in the world of appetizers and finger foods.

( kimberly's schedule is admittedly a little too busy between now and next friday to squeeze in extra volunteering... but a cooking class doesn't sound like a terrible idea. might be a nice way to repay a favor. )

as fun as it sounds to make a billion appetizers, a regular class is probably a safer start
do you have a set schedule or is it more of an on demand kind of thing?

[wingedpriestess]

That's a great question!

I'm actually working on getting a more detailed schedule hammered out. However, I'm doing one morning and one afternoon lesson per weekday and then on demand until then.

[recoined]

i think a group class just sounds like a way to horribly embarrass myself in public
but you said you do private lessons, right?

[wingedpriestess]

I understand- we can always work up to that.

I do- at your convenience. So whenever works best for you.

action because reasons

[directed]

[While it's less likely that Kendra would hear the echo of her broadcast playing from another room, certainly she would take note of the clatter of a metal bowl hitting the ground, wouldn't she? Unless she thinks it might be just coincidence. And it could be!

Or it could be one Rip Hunter, having gone to that very same Chop Shop to work on a sweeter treat for the Samhain Ball, listening to one of his former crew invite people over and dropping a bowl in surprise when he realizes they're in the same place.]

...Bollocks.

cackles

[wingedpriestess]

[ Kendra hadn't been aware that there was someone else in the building right then, not that she paid much attention to any potential echo... nor had she even checked the other kitchens.

The sound of the bowl hitting the ground was enough to pull her away from waiting for any responses to her video. She grabs her phone from the tripod and tucks it in her pocket before going to investigate.

What she had not been expecting was to find the Captain of the Waverider himself dropping bowls in the spare kitchen. She raises an eyebrow as she crosses her arms and leans against the doorframe. ]

Rip?

[directed]

Miss Saunders.

[His head tilted slightly downward, for a moment Rip might very well look akin to a child with his hand caught in the biscuit tin. Yet he musters quickly; one breath in, one mental confirmation that he's been caught, and he motions to the mess scattered about him on the floor.]

Apologies for the mess. I'll clean up and be out of your way shortly, shall I?

[Because clearly that's all to be had to it, right? Right?]

[wingedpriestess]

[ She's not laughing, not yet at least. Kendra pushes herself from the door frame and crosses over to the closet to grab a broom and pan. ]

You don't have to. I'm not using this kitchen.

[ She pauses and smiles a bit as she crosses over to him. ]

I can help... if you want... Or I can get out of your hair, if you'd rather go at it alone.

[gr8muppetyodin]

[ there is no exaggeration to the reputation back in sunnydale as to just how terrible buffy is at cooking. and she knows it. ]

So, you can teach someone no matter how bad they are? I mean, I can boil water. I think.

[wingedpriestess]

[ 8'D Kendra smiles and huffs out a laugh. ]

I hope I can. But there's no time like the present to find out. We can always do a trial class if you're more comfortable testing the water, so to speak, like that.

[gr8muppetyodin]

[ Buffy just looks a little sheepish, because honestly? She was never the best student in school and even her mentor would have argued she wasn't always the best student in that area either. ]

Cute, testing the water. I like that. But sure, I mean, it's probably better for both of us. I won't be offended if you think I'm a lost cause.

[wingedpriestess]

I thought so. [ She grins a little, proud that her joke was received so well. ]

I doubt you're a lost cause... But we'll give it a shot and see what you think.

[ Derek is probably the least functional in the kitchen. Well. There are a lot of things Derek isn't particularly good at, not that he'd admit to most of them, but if it doesn't come in a box, he probably can't figure it out. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have under his belt. ]

How much for the lessons...?

[wingedpriestess]

Negotiable... and depends on what you're learning really.

With this being a more trial starting period, I'm willing to do it for cost of supplies plus tip.

[duelo]

What if I want to learn how to make something from fresh ingredients that neither requires a microwave, nor a freezer in the preparation or storage process?

[ Although, he supposes a freezer would still count for storage if he wanted something to keep long enough, right? That's how it works even with food that isn't flash frozen and stuck in the coolers in the center aisles of the grocery store, right? ]

I can do that. I'm Derek.

[ And she's pretty. Why is everyone here so goddamn gorgeous? ]

When and where can we start?

[wingedpriestess]

We can do that.

It's nice to meet you, Derek. We can start whenever's best for you and I have access to the Chop Shop whenever I want, so the teaching kitchens here would be best.

What about cooking for someone who can only really eat things that are basically liquified?

[ He could use some upgrades from what he's been eating since... you know. His father used to blend together raw meat, egg and such and that's what he ate. He'd never complained -- never felt he had the right to but maybe he could start to have better. ]

[wingedpriestess]

It's not something I'm as well versed in, but I'm open to trying. I'm sure I can find something to make meals a little more diverse and enjoyable for you. :D

[pureed]

Really? That would be great. I really don't know where to start.

Sounds like quite the step up from being a barista.
Not bad.

[wingedpriestess]

[ . . . username 'elsa' that knows she was a barista? who else could it be, really? ]

But a step down from being a Legend.

I'll take what I can get. :)

[atms]

Think that's about where we all are right now. [ taking what they can get. ]

What are you planning on making for the Samhain shindig?

[scrimshanding]

i'll help. my mom made sure i knew my way around a kitchen.
but i'll definitely be taking that crash course too
cause it's been a while.

what are you thinking on making?

[wingedpriestess]

Sounds great! I'll be happy to help... and happy *for* the help!

I was going to go through the pantry and see what the shop has available as far as ingredients go and go from there. Tartlets, soups, crostini... I was thinking some things alone those lines.

[scrimshanding]

thanks, kendra. and i guess you're welcome.

i'm guessing tartlets are just mini-tarts? cause if not then i've got no idea
what those are. but soups are definitely a good starter idea.
and they can range pretty simple for us new to the food making business.
