#and mistakes idk carrots for some sort of variation of a potato with a much milder flavor

[willowcrowned]

thinking about baby Anakin trying to make dinner for him and Obi-Wan within the first month he’s on coruscant and messing up terrible because all the spices are unfamiliar and the grain doesn’t need to be cooked as long so he ends up with a burned mess of wasted food and he’s desperately trying to clean it up and hide it before Obi-Wan notices but Obi-Wan smells something burning and forces himself to get up from where he’s been lying listlessly on his bed all day and Anakin starts sobbing in front of him in shame and fear because he wasted food and made a mess and those aren’t things to be taken lightly on Tatooine, which means he didn’t just fail but he ruined everything, and Obi-Wan just goes down on his knees and sighs and goes ‘hey, hey, it’s alright. this kitchen can withstand one more horribly burned meal’ and he HUGS Anakin and Anakin cries into his shoulder and then they order food in and eat it on the couch together the end

#in my mind Anakin is like… familiar with a space brown rice equivalent #ie something without the husk or germ removed #so he puts the right amount of water in and sets it to cook for like… an hour #and all the water is gone by the half hour mark and it’s burning #and he uses too much chili power and chili oil #and mistakes idk carrots for some sort of variation of a potato with a much milder flavor #and also all the fruit and veg he’s used to are some variation of dried that need to be rehydrated #so he has no CLUE what to do with fresh ones #meanwhile obi wan doesn’t really know how to cook either #he can do rice and stuff but he doesn’t know what Anakin was trying to make #and he’s not willing to risk trying to do it again and failing #because he just doesn’t have the energy #because he’s horribly depressed #star wars #obi wan and anakin #anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #disaster lineage cookery
