I was watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy and none of the doctors know how to cook so this idea was born.
"Ok I know all of yall are doctors but that doesn't mean yall can't learn to whip something up." Tiana stated to the room full of doctors who were bing forced to attend her cooking class.
"Who's idea was this again?" Alex asked.
"April's." Meredith whispered.
"What. I'm not gonna be the only who can cook." April whisper yelled as she tried to listen to Tiana's instructions.
"Ok. Everyone ready to start cooking?" The petite African American woman asked placing an apron around her waist.
"What are we even making?" Christina muttered.
"I think it's called gumbo." Meredith answered.
"Who needs to learn to cook when you have all the places on speed dial?" Christina asked looking bored.
"All of you need to learn to cook." April answered."I'm not always going to be around to save your dinner parties or holidays."
"Ok now mince the mushrooms." Tiana instructed.
"I don't know what that is." Alex said stabbing the mushroom.
"It's like this." Tiana motioned cutting the mushroom with lightning speed that only a seasoned chef has.
Alex began chopping the mushroom as fast he could, pieces flying everywhere, one hitting Christina in the eye.
"Watch it evil spawn." Christina yelled throwing a piece of her perfectly minced mushroom at Alex's face.
"I thought you couldn't cook." Meredith said admiring Christina's knife skills.
"I'm a perfectionist and a fast learner. Basicly I'm the best." Christina bragged."Best at being a doctor and apparently best at becoming a chef."
"I don't know. I think April's got you beat int he chef department." Alex commented looking over April's shoulder at her nice and orderly knife work.
"I never set out to be a chef." Christina muttered dumping all of her finely chopped ingrediants into the pot of chicken stock as Tiana instructed.
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you make gumbo." Tiana smiled at her finished product.
Everyone went around and tasted each other's food.
"Mer." Christina coughed."How much spice did you put in this?"
"To much I guess. My mother was a brillian surgeon, not the best cook. I guess I inherited her abilities." Meredith shrugged watching Christina chug water.
"You cook just about as good as you bar tend." Alex commented after tasting Christina's gumbo.
"I'm sure it's better then yours." Christina taking a spoonful of Alex's gumbo.
"Hmm, who knew. Evil Spawn can cook." Christina commented then added."When he's taking a class."
"Shut up Yang." Alex muttered.
"Well should we come back for next week class?" April asked in her cheerful way.
There was a chorus of no ways and I don't think so's.
So i wrote this when I was feeling sad. I didn't think I'd ever write a Grey's Anatomy fic, or at least not like this, but I hope it wasn't to bad.
