Well, I was thinkin' salted caramel bars. Melted caramel over shortbread biscuits and sprinkled in salt. Simple, and I got all the ingredients needed. Meltin' them is gonna be the harder part.
[And the 'potentially get a child severely burned' part.]
[Rin will deal with the things that can potentially burn, alright?
He gives him the measurements, pointing to where the utensils for doing so are. They're old and pretty beat up, but the volumes are still written clearly.]>/small>
[He ties back the wide, white sleeves so they're out of the way.
Then he starts measuring out everything. He's very...meticulous and precise when he does it. If any problems occurs, it won't be because anything wasn't measured properly!
He does go a little slow but it's not as bad as when he's washing vegetables.]
[Baking is a lot more precise than cooking anyway, so Rin is just fine with taking his time on it. He watches for a moment before breaking off to get the needed items for melting the caramel.]
Yeah. I think they're kinda brown with white flowers? My friend Shiemi showed me one once. This is like super processed for use in food, though, and it doesn't take much for flavor. Give it like two drops then mix it in.

Date: 2019-09-01 12:54 am (UTC)...actually, he's a terrible liar, but he's a determined one. As long as no one asks him too many questions he'll be fine. Maybe.
He'll follow Rin inside.]
I can help if you want.
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-01 05:16 am (UTC)But Rin doesn't know that.
Yet.]
Can you even reach counters yet?

Date: 2019-09-02 09:40 pm (UTC)[Lord knows he tore his tiny hands up when he was learning to cook when he was little.]
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-04 02:34 am (UTC)Either way! He's gone through this already.]
You don't need to worry about me.
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-05 01:59 am (UTC)[Don't tell him what to dooooo...
But he grabs a chair and pulls it in to the kitchen, setting the container of caramels on the counter.]

Date: 2019-09-05 02:48 am (UTC)So, what should I do?
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-05 04:06 am (UTC)[And the 'potentially get a child severely burned' part.]
Wanna do the dough?
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-07 11:28 pm (UTC)Just let me know what I need to do.
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-08 05:24 am (UTC)Yup. You're gonna wanna start with flour, sugar and butter.
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-08 11:24 pm (UTC)How much of each?
[Surprisingly, Rin may have found the one thing he can do...as long as no one expects him to do the baking part.]

Does it matter what order they're mixed in?
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-11 05:45 am (UTC)Nope. Just blend those three together.
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-15 02:20 am (UTC)It was like making the dough for wonton wrappers, but the feel under his fingers was different. Oilier, for one, more firm, less stretchy.
But it was close enough that he was fairly confident in what he's doing.]
Does it need to be kneaded?
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-17 07:04 am (UTC)Nah. Gonna mix in the vanilla and salt until they're all blended together and smooth.
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-20 12:48 am (UTC)What's vanilla?
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-21 06:17 am (UTC)Never seen a vanilla plant before? It's for flavor.
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-22 01:40 am (UTC)He leans over to smell it. It smelled...sweet, almost cloyingly so.]
It comes from a plant?
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-23 02:15 am (UTC)Yeah. I think they're kinda brown with white flowers? My friend Shiemi showed me one once. This is like super processed for use in food, though, and it doesn't take much for flavor. Give it like two drops then mix it in.

Date: 2019-09-24 02:17 am (UTC)[He's not questioning your authority(?) on this! But that seems awfully little.]
Is it really that strong?
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-26 07:04 am (UTC)(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-28 02:33 am (UTC)There is an artificial version? Is it some sort of imitation? What is it made of?
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-29 04:57 am (UTC)[He's been working on his own side of the project, slowly warming up the pot needed to melt the caramel.]
Yeah, imitation, but I'unno what it's made outta.
(no subject)
Date: 2019-09-29 07:20 pm (UTC)[He mixes and it...smells different when it's less concentrated. Sweeter. He thought, he'd like to be able to bring some back with him.]
...that's too bad.
[If he did then maybe he could try to make some.]
