Magic schooling that makes sense, part 1: introductory-level students are required to learn to cook. Because magical strength comes from personal energy, and an ill-fed witch is therefore not much of a witch. Also because cooking trains people in the properties of common herbs and such and in the skills for combining same in useful manners.

...no, I have no plans of writing an answer to Hogwarts. Honest. I do however have cinnamon buns in the oven.

Plus, kitchen witchery makes me happy \o/

That's year two. :p

This makes sense, as it builds on knowledge of herbs and spices and how different foods make you feel from year 1!

:-D

And now I am annoyed that Mom is gone for the day because I want to quiz her on how to educate a child to be a home cook.

:D ♥

:-D

except the cinnamon buns did not in fact turn out spectacular, or indeed all that good. :(

Awwww :( write that recipe off as a wash, I guess?

I think I just baked them not quite long enough, and also--and this is probably an occupational hazard of making cinnamon buns--a bunch of the filling stuck to the pan instead of staying inside the rolls.

Yeah, I suspect the latter is unavoidable. Could you fix the former by putting them back in the oven for a bit?

At this point I suspect that would just toast them, which is not the same thing.

Awww *hugs*

Niiiiice. <3

:-D

Indeed. And, as magic users, they may end up working in places where they will have to be responsible for their own meals and spells, so coming is a useful life skill.

...I know what you meant (and it is a sensible observation) but that is one hell of a typo.

...fucking autocorrect. For a moment, just one moment, I would like these keyboards to be aware of the words they have typed and the words surrounding them, so that they stop doing stupid things.

And additionally, cooking and eating are practices of transmutation in themselves.

OOH YES INDEED
