Hecate closed the potions lab to the children and posted a sign on the door that read
"POTIONS LAB CLOSED - RETURN TOMORROW"
She struck all the regular equipment, and made up the potions lab into a dining room. A large table covered with a pretty old fashioned tablecloth. A present from her first marriage. The
china was bone, Royal Albert, Caroline... antique... really very pretty. A gift from her second marriage. And the
crystal was Waterford. As was the
silver. Another gift from her second marriage. For all her yelling at students for her classes not being cooking class, Hecate was a talented cook. She cooked
artichokes, stuffing them with cubes of Italian bread, garlic, oregano, parsley, parmegiano, romano and pecorino cheeses melted on top and drizzling olive oil over them. As a first course, a light cream base sauce with caramelized onion, mushrooms and peas, over a
straw pasta she made from scratch. Her second course was as beautiful to look at as it probably was tasty. A
crown rack of lamb, stuffed with candied grapes, and accompanied by roasted baby carrots, new potatoes, cauliflower and asparagus. This way is anyone was a vegetarian, they could still have a full meal. Dessert was a decadent
chocolate mouse, served with strawberries and topped with whipped cream. On the table were a few lemons,
salt and pepper, some
mint pesto, a light gravy, shredded cheese, fresh baked bead and plenty of
elf-made wine as well as two
pitchers of water.
This better go well...
