Soooooo it wasn't until Esme had finished preparing the first meal that she remembered to use the muggle way of cleaning things. Haha oops? Looked like she had been so caught up in what she was trying to do that she had forgotten. In fact if it wasn't for glancing at some of her fellow classmates she wouldn't have known to do it in the first place.
DUH, Esme. This isn't JUST Potions class.
Sorry, Professor Stewart.
Ehh. Shrugging it off, she set to work preparing the bread that they were going to eat. She couldn't remember what it was called, but it was Australian. She knew that much. Thank Merlin it was simple because she didn't know how much longer she could go without eating and her mind was starting to wander to food. The stew smelled sooooooooo good even though it had only started cooking. Why couldn't it be ready??? Pouting, she got herself one of those cast iron pot thingies because it was needed. Apparently once the bread was prepared it was going to be placed in the hole that she had dug. A little odd but who was she to judge? So long as the method worked and the food turned out delicious she was game to do whatever she was asked to. In this case it was to add all the ingredients and then mix them together with her hands. Right. That didn't sound difficult.
First went in the cup of self-raising flour, followed by a pinch of salt and 1/4 cup water. The simplest recipe for bread in the world - or at least she thought as much. Not like Esme had ever made bread before. Whatever. Her hands got right in the mixture and she set about working it into an even and doughy consistency. Nothing wrong with getting your hands dirty when not dealing with raw meat. It was actually kind of nice and soon she had a nice round loaf. The lid was placed on top of the pot and it was time to go into the hole though of course the coal and hot ash had to be added first.
Two shovelfuls of the coal and ash from her fire went into the hole she had dug previously, and the pot was set down. In 40 minutes the bread would be ready. In the meantime she set about cleaning her hands the muggle way (did you see that, Professor Stewart??) and got herself a stick and marshmallow. Yep, she was going to be eating roasted marshmallows until her food was ready.
