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."

Beaker started rummaging for a cookie cutter than looked vaguely Anakin-like...and emerged with one shaped like Santa.

Close enough?

Kathy frowned at it, then shrugged. "We can make it work," she said. "Maybe the beard can be more hair or something."

Great, now Anakin was going to be offended on top of the judges not surviving.

"Meep meep meep meep," Beaker agreed, taking lumps of the dough and kind of packing it into the cutter.

...as you do?

"No, no, you use this," Karla said, holding up the rolling pin.

And then using the end to mash down the dough Beaker had already added, letting him add more. "Gotta get rid of all the air in there," she explained. "Then we roll this over the top and bottom so they're smooth, see?"

Beaker meeped, impressed.

Somewhere the Swedish Chef was taking notes...

Well that was a horrifying thought and Karla owed weregild to the memory of Jim Henson.

"Okay, now take the cookie cutter off," she instructed. "And we should have the perfect Ana-cookie to bake!"

"Meep meep meee!" Beaker said, pulling the cookie cutter off with a flourish.
