Definitely not the next Iron Chef

[reluctant_mama]

[A kitchen door is open, with a foul burnt scent coming out of it. Inside of it, pots and pans are piled up in a stack on the counter, all of them coated with burnt on food.

Mama? [pointing at the pan on fire]

[reluctant_mama]

What?

[Getting a little frantic now, where the hell is a lid when he needs it?]

[mirroredclown]

[watches unhelpfully, standing on his tippy toes on a chair] Mama, what are you making?

[reluctant_mama]

Your lunch.

[Aren't you glad that you have a mama who loves you enough to cook burn food for you? Ah, he's got a lid now, and he'll put out the fire with it.]

[mirroredclown]

Oh.. I can't eat fire. [very glad for the loving mama, but maybe you should let someone else cook?]

[reluctant_mama]

You're going to have fried rice. [He may have to. His special treat is becoming more of a bad decision by the minute.]

[nodnod. ~WAAAATCHING~]

[reluctant_mama]

[And failing again! This time, he has to get out the fire extinguisher.]

Dammit.

[giggles]

No fried rice? [wait, really? aw. little pout.] Okay.. I guess so.

[reluctant_mama]

...

[Tries one more time, this time using a lower heat and less oil. And it doesn't catch on fire!]

[mirroredclown]

Thanks Mama! [yay no fire! Aren watches, peering over the countertop from his perch on the chair still. He's a little bouncy to see Kanda trying again.]

[reluctant_mama]

It's nothing. [He fries up some meat, and rice, then adds seasonings and eggs. It's not perfect, but it should taste nice enough.]
