Camp Shenanigans, Wednesday, June 5, 2019
"Good morning!" Anakin blared through the microphone. "An essential skill of a camper is the ability to feed yourself over a campfire--BEAKER, GET AWAY FROM THE CAMPFIRES."
There was slightly charred sounding apologetic meeping as Beaker moved away from one of the two campfires that had been carefully set up in the park. There were rickety looking folding tables arranged nearby the fires with cutting boards, knives, bowls, and othermoddable kitchen items nearby. There was, however, no power. Everything would have to be chopped and grated and opened from a can by hand.
"Today, you will be paired up and asked to feature one of two different sets of menu items," Anakin continued. "And then you will present them to our esteemed panel of judges: Summer, Hannibal, Peebee, and Vette." He pointed to the judges. "Your meal must be cooked over the campfire. We have an array of other ingredients--" he pointed to a pantry and set of mini fridges that Beaker was now standing near, so expect that to spontaneously fall over any minute now, "--for you to use to supplement your original ingredients, but you must use the three ingredients we give you." He took a deep breath. "Please don't give the judges food poisoning, and remember that presentation matters. Listen for your names!"

"Boiling water, I can handle," Kanan decided, smiling crookedly and taking the package. "At least they're fairly straightforward."
From not far off, a certain dog was giving Kanan some serious puppy eyes. So one of those hot dogs was being sacrificed to Stance with a totally subtle underhand toss. It was snapped out of midair with a, "Yum!"
"Quality control," Kanan supplied.
Re: Come on Down, Contestants of Group B!
"Pretty sure your dog just said 'yum.'"
Re: Come on Down, Contestants of Group B!
Kanan blinked at Stance, and then blinked at Janet, and then grimaced a little.
"Yeah, he doesn't usually do that. He's generally a bit more barky."
"Can I have another one, daddy?"
"And he doesn't usually call me that."
He had to go on the record with that one, apparently.

"I think he picked it up from a friend of mine," Kanan sighed, filling a pot with water and looking for a grate or something to set it on over the fire. "It's a thing some people do with their pets, I guess, but I'm really not ready for that kind of commitment."
He said. About his talking dog.

Was this shaping up to be better or worse than the time she accidentally called the King of Wakanda a furry?
Re: Come on Down, Contestants of Group B!
Kanan paused for a long moment at that, staring up in mild horror from the pot.
"... Only insofar as I relate to my dog."
He was picturing any of them calling him that otherwise and bluescreening way harder than he had been before.

Re: Come on Down, Contestants of Group B!
"I. Uh." Thank the Force for that distraction. He glanced around, and then toward the pantry. "... Let's see if there are any left, sure."
He hopefully would have better luck finding those than a grate.

"Great," Kanan sighed. "Chocolate."
He was never going to recover from his chocolate trauma.
"Looks like there's some of both," he reported. "... Is dark, unsweetened okay?"
Kanan, that was baking chocolate.

"... Yeah, I guess I do. I like one of those judges, really have nothing against two, and the fourth would probably enjoy the bitter chocolate more anyway."
