4th Floor Common Room [Tuesday afternoon]

Proto had an actual cookbook out. He was staring at it dubiously, and with a mild expression of confusion, but he had it out, dang it! Of course he didn't recognize a number of ingredients listed on the page he had open, and he wasn't entirely clear on how one properly 'sautéed' things, but he was going to try.

Though... any help would probably be appreciated.

[Open and all that stuff.]

Will put his own book down out of the way before heading over to where Proto had indicated. Filling a bowl with cold water, he placed the onions in there to let them soak for a a few minutes. "What are you attempting to make?"

"Tenderloin?" William raised an eyebrow. He didn't know much about beef, but it sounded... expensive. "Well, there aren't too many steps, it seems? That's... something."

"That's about the extent of my knowledge on the subject as well." William admitted. "It's not a common dish, where I'm from." Well, it may well have been if one could afford such things, but Will certainly had never been able to.

"William Murdoch," he replied, privately wondering why so many of his fellow students seemed to have no surname. Satisfied that the onions were chilled enough to prevent the sulphuric acid from being an issue, he removed them from the water and began chopping. "There you go," he said, finishing up. "I hope that's satisfactory?"
