Sizzling with the McShizzle

    It took way too long for me to finally convince Mr. D, but I did it, he's finally letting me teach cooking to campers. I wholeheartedly believe he'd smite me (or turn me into wine or something) if I had asked him one more time. 

    Ever since I was taken into the waystation and lived with parent-like figures, it's made me realize how little some of these kids have, so as a way to spice up their life, I'm gonna teach them how to use spices. And despite my raging ADHD, I actually made an itinerary, with the help of a certain daughter of Athena, that holds a list of what foods we'll be making and when we'll be doing it. Basic stuff, bigger stuff, desserts, and whatever else they want to know, but I know damn well I'm teaching them how to make vegetarian tacos.

    "Alrighty campers, I am Supreme Chef Leo, but if you wish, you may call me Master Le-" Piper shoved my shoulder. Maybe it was a bad idea asking for her to help out, she never lets me shine.

"Just call him Leo and me Piper, no master or supreme chef," she stated with a firm glare in my general direction, who knows who it was directed at, certainly not me. "Now," of course she has to take a pause for dramatic effect, she may be raining on my parade but she isn't a stick in the mud. "Who's ready to start cooking?"


    If another child asks me the difference between tofu and meat, I'm lighting them on fire, no hesitation. I guess I never really factored into the fact that well more than half these kids have ADHD as well as Piper and I, some worse than others, but even I'm getting tired of repeating the same three things.

    No, you can't add egg shells to food.

    Yes, wash your hands.

    And dear gods please be careful with the knives, lets leave with all the fingers you arrived with.

    

    After what felt like centuries, our hour was up and I had successfully taught these kids hot to make tofu tacos in case of emergency and they need to know how to make a quick meal.

    "Remember kids! With great power comes great responsibility, it is crucial that you use your powers of awesome cooking with great care and always remember your amazing master who taught you this valuable skill." I high fived each camper as they walked out, leaving my words of wisdom for them to carry with them as a weapon of great knowledge.


    I looks like my work here is done, or well at least until we do this all over again next week when they all forget what I just taught them.
