[OTA Audience - Zoe] Pumpkin Bake-off challenge (Backdated)

[tangodebaston.livejournal.com]

He'd brought the left over pumpkins to the club kitchen, and had told a few of their friends about the challenge. It was a pumpkin pie vs pumpkin flan cook off, between Zoe and Juan Pedro.

They would hold the 'challenge' after dinner, in the mess hall, where they could cook and have people judge which dessert was better.

He had to admit, he was pretty excited about this, pumpkin pie had never been something his family was into, it wasn't a traditional spanish dish, and just not suited to their tastes. But flan, now THAT was something they could stand behind.

He wasn't as good as his mother at cooking, but he could hold his own, and he wasn't about to take this little friendly challenge lying down. So he started whisking cream and sugar, beating them together into a creamy consistency, glancing over to Zoe's half of the counter to see what she was doing.

[This is a JP/Zoe friendly challenge but friends and family are more than welcome to tag in, talk to them during the preparation, and test both dishes and give their votes as to which they like best.]

The timer beeped as it started, and he chuckled "I have forgotten, I will wait with baited breath for your vote then, Hadyn."

He shrugged "I do not know what peoples minds are, they may be my friends, and prefer the pie. I hope they vote honestly, and not for favorite peoples. I would vote honestly, even if my own mother was the one in the challenge. Of course, if I didn't vote for her, she might kill me with a spoon." He winked at that.

"I have only just recently realized the favoritism might win over the food. I had not even imagined that outcome, when I challenged Zoe to this."

"I'm pretty sure anything involving Zoe turns out that way. She's a lot more popular than she'd let on." That hadn't always been the case, granted. However, there was a certain sort of...awe to her these days. Probably came from dating Victor, or...maybe just from her growing into her personality.

"I'm sure they are both...good. Or what passes for good." He smirked at that one.

"Hmm... we will have to wait and see. This seems it will take longer than we expected. Will you come with me? I will go to get music, so that the people will not leave."

"Um...sure..." he said as he pushed off the counter and turning to follow Juan Pedro. "Though, if it is latin music, I think you'll be trying to tip the tables in your favor."

He chuckles, heading out at a quick walk "We will play a mix of many kinds of music, so as to try to keep impartiality, as little as there is now"

He looks at Hadyn "Do you know where we can borrow a radio or sound system here? If you go get that, I will get some CDs"

"Pretty sure the theatre has a stereo you can borrow." He said with a nod before turning toward the door and waving JP off a little.

"I promise not to get lost on the way here."
