Community Center Class: Beyond Cup Noodle; Thursday Evening [09/16].
There were, of course, many different directions in which Ignis might take this class next, and while the step he decided to take forward was rather treading along the path of when he did a similar course for the students at the school proper, he felt it was a very logical next step and was really quite excited to be visiting this topic again.
Because, yes. Ignis Scientia was a man who got inexorably excited about potatoes.
Not that is was too terrible obvious from the outside, but trust the narrative. He was thrilled.
"Good evening," he greeted, and, if you were particular perceptive, there was your first hint of the excitement your instructor was feeling, the easiness of a slightly bigger smirk than usual. "Hopefully, your week hasn't been too taxing with the various oddities of the island, and that you're quite prepared to do more cooking again, because we'll get right into our next lesson, which I feel will open up the door to a wide variety of possibilities beyond packaged sustinence, no matter what your ability or time restraints may be. Our topic today is incredibly versitile, which makes it quite the essential for any fledgling chef, and that is, of course, the humble but mighty potato.
"Now," he continued, because of course there had to be an excess of information given to them before going into the actual cooking part, "the potato is a root vegetable, a fiberous starchy tuber that can be cooked in about as many ways as there are different varieties of them. You can boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew...all of which you will have the opportunity to do today in this class. Now, extrapolating further on the benefits of a potato as an oft-used staple in a diet..."
And if you woke up that morning thinking about how much you'd like to learn more about potatoes, were you in luck! Ignis was nothing if not comprehensive in his studies, and he was clearly intent to share with all of his students everything in his findings.
"But before this goes on too long," he eventually said, as if it wasn't already too late for that, "I'm sure you're itching to get to cooking. After all, this is a cooking class! So let's take a moment to go over some of the more common preparations, such as baked, mashed, roasted, as well as au gratin, scalloped, and in a salad, starting, of course with properly preparing the potato itself, which should include a thorough washing..."
This was a man who clearly cared about pototoes.

Oh he enjoyed EATING all kinds... but had mastered not many others himself.
At least there were plenty of ways to dress up a baked potatoes with toppings and what not.
"Anyone up for some loaded baked potatoes?"

Since that seemed to be a particular point of the potato ramblings they'd just been subjected to.
"That seems easy enough," she added, though she still sounded skeptical. "Just add whatever to the top of a baked potato. It at least sounds better than fries and chips..."
Unless she was mistaken and loaded potatoes were also eaten with one's hands, in which case, Tisarwat was about to be incredibly appalled.

"I think," she said, turning more toward her own station and maybe the other possibilities now that finger food had been brought into the conversation, "maybe I'll stick to the larger ones myself, if I try it."
Which meant that Tisarwat's roommate could now thank Dwight for being exposed to a lot of large potatoes loaded with very misguided toppings all next week.
One of her ideas was definitely involving fish sauce.
