Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, July 18, 2018

[sith_happened]

Today's shenanigans had been redirected into the community center--there were signs in the park to herd everyone into the correct place, and the food vendors had set up their rickshaws out front in anticipation.

"Today," Anakin began once everyone had taken seats, "we will take a break from physical acuman and see how good you are at following directions. Since I've taught most of you, I'm betting on...less well." He gestured at the tables, baking ingredients, and ovens that had been set up. "Today you will be working in pairs to complete two cooking goals. We have guest judges to grade your attempts: Dr. Lecter, who teaches culinary courses, and Mr. Eliot Spencer, who runs the diner. Listen for you names, please:

Ahsoka and Cristina; Aphra and Kanan; Amaya and Aloy; Zack and Hernando; Tip and Reno; Theron and Uma; Karla and Beaker; Jaina and Sidon; Astrid and Jono; and Mitsutada and Kitty."

"Those who come in second place will receive the glory of the singing fish," Anakin said, calling the terrifying beastie back to his hand with an indolent wave. "The rest of you get...sleep without nightmares, I guess."

"That might make it worse, but let's try it, and I'm sorry," Kitty said, starting to measure out the first of the ingredients.

"I wish I was more of a baker than a chef," Mitsutada said, going to measure out some of the liquid ingredients. "Similar skills, but one can sometimes elude me. You can course correct in cooking. Baking, you mix up baking powder and soda and suddenly you make a disaster."

"It's just chemistry, really," Kitty said. "Easy peasy."

Which didn't mean that the decoration might not be a mess or it might not taste good.

"If only my master had been fond of chemistry instead of fancy dinners," Mitsutada chuckled to himself. "I'd find this far easier, then. I could probably make a dorayaki that'd taste wonderful but harder to make look like a person. Also... not the task at hand."
