All of her ingredients were sliced and diced just right. The liquids were the correctly measured...now. Ahem. Thank goodness for doubling checking. A bonus star for her should be given because that wasn't something she did all that often. In fact, she went as far as to check herself ONE more time. Wow. The dedication was really showing... but, was it for her work or fear of having to start over? Either way, the desired results were attained. She had stopped something bad from happening.

Now that she was super sure, she poured the liquids into her cauldron. Fire was needed obviously, and lighting it was her favorite part because FIRE. She suddenly had an urge to roast some marshmallows, but -darn the luck- she left them in her other bag. It was probably for the best. She wasn't exactly up for sharing.

Fire was lit, and on medium heat which was just the way the red wine and prune juice liked it - apparently. According to her notes she just needed to stir clockwise until bubbles appeared which meant no timing was needed. It really didn't get any easier than that. Plus, the professor was demonstrating.

Stir, stir, stir.

BUBBLES. Bubbles were happening. It was always a huge relief to see results. She must be living life just right. Oh, the color was now a purplish brown? Yeah. It definitely was. Hairy fungus was up. She plopped them into the cauldron and continued to stir. This time she did have to pay attention to the time. Ten whole minutes. Her arm was going to fall off.
