She looked up when Hadley spoke. Oh, well...it looked like it was time to put things away anyway. They were moving on to talking about TACOS! That meant it was almost eating time, which meant there wouldn't be anymore actual assignments. WOOT. So, tacos...

Sophie raised her hand. "You need taco shells," she said. That was important, or else you couldn't hold the whole thing together. WOOT--most IMPORTANT ingredient said by SOPHIE NEWELL.

Ah first to speak was Miss Sophie Newell, stating the ingredient that she probably talked about the most - or at least mentioned. The obvious one. "And taco shells are very crucial, yes. I have the hard traditional shell kind and I also have soft tortilla shells for those who might be a little rougher and prone to breaking things." With that, she pulled out a box of hard shells and a box of soft shells, opening them both and placing them on the counter.

Waiting for the others to shout their answer, Ethan stuffed his notebook and muggle pencil inside his satchel. Now his workstation's ready to get messy! Yeyeyeah! The blond boy patiently waited as he twiddled his thumbs together.

Another obvious one. "Yes, ground beef, although this may also be substituted with diced chicken or tofu or even fish in some places, I've only had the beef prepared for today." With that, Hadley walked over to the stovetop and spooned the beef into a giant bowl and set it on the counter next to the taco shells. It smelled quite delicious.

Simon slipped his Arithmancy notebook into his bag and waited for Hadley to ask them the question. When she did, he wracked his brain, searching for an answer.

One ingredient that was in tacos.

Hmmm....

Since beef and taco shells had already been mentioned, Simon shot up his hand. "Queso? Cheese, Professor?" he asked. He was pretty sure that cheese was in tacos because all the tacos that he had eaten had cheese in them. But perhaps cheese didn't need to be in tacos. He'd see.

"Ah yes, shredded cheese, specifically." She pulled out a bag of shredded cheese and poured it into the bowl with a spoon in there to serve that too. "Now if I catch anyone eating the cheese straight, you'll leave this lesson hungry." She added, sternly looking at the students when she said that ~~though her eyes might have lingered on Alexa the longest~~

And there was Hadley speaking again. So it looked like they'd be having tacos. Awesome! Adi raised his hand. "Uhh. Lettuce, Professor.'' Since some of the others had given the main ingredients.

"Shredded lettuce, specifically, yes." Hadley nodded, pulling out a bowl of shredded lettuce and placing it next to the other ingredients.

As her classmates started listing ingredients in response to the Professor's question, Jasmine raised her hand. "You need salsa to top off your tacos." Now could they make them already? She was getting hungrier by the minute.

"Salsa, or more commonly used is a special version called pico de gallo, which has tomatoes and onions..." she trailed off as she tried to recall the rest of the ingredients. "... and chilis, or jalapeños, right here." She held up a bowl of the mixture before setting it down next to the lettuce.

"Sour cream, yes. Albeit sometimes this is perceived as an optional ingredient." Hadley explained, removing a bowl of sour cream from the refrigerator and setting it on the counter as well.

Oh, but...

TACOS!

The Gryffindor suddenly seemed to be paying a lot more attention than she had been for the past half an hour or however long it'd been since they got here. She happened to like tacos despite not having them too often and the Professor said the hardest part was not breaking the shell. She supposed she could manage that much. How could she not? It was either she contributed or she wouldn't be getting any for her own eating then she'd been left to sulk.

Don't ask her what went into making tacos, she just knew you needed a mouth to eat them and as it so happened she had one! All good here and waiting for the feast.

...

another look towards Alexa, and it seemed as if she had something to say, but said nothing. Shrugging it off, she just went onto the next student.

Somebody had already said ground beef, but that wasn't the only meat that you could use. "You can also use chicken, professor." She had some that had a salsa type sauce marinated in it, and it was so yummy. Hopefully they would be able to use more than one type of meat.

"Yes, exactly, you could use chicken, or tofu or fish, as i mentioned, but alas, only ground beef is what we have today." But if any of them were vegetarians, which how could they be when the Shepard's Pie at Hogwarts feasts was AMAZING, then she could probably make accommodations for them... or they could just add all the other ingredients.

He listened to the others shout out some answers, and most of the traditional ingredients had been said so the boy had to think about it for a minute. After a sudden thought, the Gryffindor raised his hand, "Mexican rice?" Some people put rice in their tacos right? At least he was going to. So it was an ingredient for HIS taco.

"Rice is more commonly added for burritos or enchiladas, but I reckon some customs DO add rice for their tacos..." So he wasn't wrong, per say, but they wouldn't be adding rice today.

"Besides, with the upcoming season it's bound to be warmer, yes?" she said evasively. "And Anastasia is perfectly capable of coming up with her own ideas. I doubt she needs mine." The woman was an accomplished witch with an even more accomplished Board of Governors to back her up. Who was Lolita Domingo to barge in on domestic affairs, after all? Surely it was none of her business.

Lolita laughed at Fina's concern about the quills and parchment. "Preocupado much, Love? Loosen up, we must keep them on their toes, see who's really paying attention." Listening carefully and following directions was one point of education, after all.

Hadley nodded at Lolita when she said they'd add a small amount of heat. "Its just... this weather is weird. I mean it's already May and yet it feels like its still February." she frowned, shaking her head. "I just can't help but shake the feeling like there's some bizarre explanation for this climate that seems to be affecting only us. At least that's what it seemed when i spoke to my husband over the holiday, but ..." she sighed, still speaking in a hushed voice. "... I haven't been able to reach him, nor him reach me since. I'm worried."

Even though she'd been adequate in charms, she was nowhere near as advanced as her sister and sometimes, she wished she was.

She laughed though when Lolita told her to loosen up. "Of course. Must be the cold. Freezing my brain."

Tacos were a great reward.

She raised her hand. "Hot sauce or salsa?" A little spice never hurt, you know?

Her attention back on the class when Angel suggested some sort of sauce and then Beverly, hot sauce or salsa, she nodded at both those ideas. "Yes, hot sauce is sometimes added though its not mandatory." She placed a bottled at the end. You know, just in case anyone liked anything spicy.

"Onions can be found in the pico de gallo mixture that I mentioned earlier..." Hadley confirmed of the first year, indicating to the bowl she'd placed on the counter a moment ago.

And honestly, everyone already had them all pretty much. Damn. Except, she didn't think she'd heard one....... "Tomatoes." Yep, couldn't have a taco without those. They added both color and taste and a taco without them was just a sad little ground beef smiley.

"Tomatoes, too, can be found in the pico de gallo mixture."

Surveying the table a moment to see if they'd forgotten anything, she pursed her lips before glancing to Lolita and then back at the students. "Well then, it seems we have all the necessary ingredients." She picked up a hard taco shell and took a plate for demonstration. "We start with the shell, either hard or soft, scoop a small amount of beef into the shell. Not a lot because you don't want to overload it or it will break." Plus they had all these other delicious toppings to add. "Add some shredded cheese. Small spoonful of that should do. Then some pico de gallo, some lettuce, small dollop of sour cream and some hot sauce if you dare... and then enjoy."

"If there are no further questions for either myself, or Professor Domingo, on anything discussed today, you may come forward and prepare yourself ONE taco to start until everyone's had the chance to have some."

ooc: class will close in approximately 24 hours. if you have questions you may ask now, but please RP going and preparing a taco from the buffet-style table, as described =] Enjoy! Have fun! Break a shell!
