Testing Sister Smith

Here is the rule:  If your recipe doesn't turn out, you don't get full points.  

With smoke billowing from the oven and fellow students gasping for breath, kitchen #4 informs me, "We burned up our garlic bread."  My response, "Why yes, it appears you have."  

Their inquiry, "We're not going to lose points are we!?  It was an accident. "

Hmmm....as opposed to intentionally incinerating food for a grade....?
