The Make Up Your Own Prompt/Scenario List Meme

[How To]

1. Make up 3 to 10 of your own prompts/scenarios and post it, anon or logged in. Please add a prompt list name in the subject line in each batch of prompts, so it's easier to tell which is which.

2. Find any prompt/scenario you're interested in, and post as your character to that particular prompts post. (Please write down the name and canon/fandom of the character in the subject line, and also if they're canon, AU, crossover or OC, etc. Please also write down preferences, scenarios, etc in the comment box) Anon tagging is allowed, too, if that's what the muns want.

3. Any combination of any promts or scenarios are OK, even if they aren't from the same batch of prompts/scenarios. Please just write it come in the comment box of your post as your character.

4. Discussiong the prompts/scenarios themselves and adding new options, or discussiong meme ideas, etc, is fine, too.

5. Tag, thread and have fun!

1. The young challenger vs the current champion!

2. The timed contest! Who can make the best dish in 30 minutes?

3. Economics! Who can make the best dish within a certain budget?

4. Pickles, cheeses and wines. Who can make and utelize the best fermented foods?

5. Something Else

[Russia Cat would love it if somebody had a cooking battle with a cat food theme...]

Would it be possible to make a meme about continuing threads from old memes?

Yes, and someone did it (http://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/463493.html) just last week.

1. Training

2. Running the exceedingly extreme obstacle course.

3. The aftermath, where the characters sit with their buddies and watch themselves on TV.

There was this hilarious cooking show I saw once where starlets tried to cook with unlabeled ingredients with very much mixed results, but I can't remember what it was called.

I would volunteer Minato for this if anyone else was interested in seeing just how much of a mess they could make!

Oh man, I want to do this!

I can also take out the Kakashi journal I just tagged you with if you'd rather face off against him!!

There is nothing I don't find amazing and horrifying about this idea. It MUST be done! I'm about to go off to work right now but if you want to wait, I'll start something up tonight or you can take off with it if you'd rather. I am ridiculously happy with either of your character offers (your taste in muses is fantastic!) so I will happily take whoever you want to throw into this culinary nightmare with Minato. XDb

[how he came to be here isn't important, or possibly even writable. All that matters is that there is a young man of slightly disheveled appearance standing in the middle of what looks like a cooking show kitchen. He's here on a mission and he takes his missions very seriously. Always. It's the trademark of a good shinobi and more importantly, a good man. Behind him are several cabinets he hasn't yet opened, as well as a small fridge, no doubt stocked with everything that could be needed and possibly quite a bit more. One long hand slaps down on the island top in the middle of the room, pinning down the small scrap of paper. His mission is written on that innocuous paper. Lifting it, Minato reads outloud:]

Two and a half cups all purpose flour.

[quake in fear, peaceful world. Tonight, Minato makes pumpkin cookies
.]

ooc. I am good with them either starting off working together or starting off in competition and ending up in the mess together. Hope this opening works for you. :)

[ You know what, Kakashi's not sure why he's here either, but Minato's here, so... that sort of settles it, right? He looks around him and apparently there's some sort of competition going on. People in the stands cheering them on, some smiling host, and that guy from the capitol. He's a food scientist or something, he gets mentioned sometimes.

There's a timer on the clock and Kakashi looks at the things on his station. He waits for it to go off and then is directed towards a pantry with a bunch of ingredients, so he rips the lids off of a couple of them looking for the right ones. ]

Sensei, did you need flour?

[ Because he's found some, he thinks. ]

That's right. Two and a half cups.

[Minato's not entirely culinarily inept. He can make scrambled eggs after all. Damn good scrambled eggs. So how hard can pumpkin cookies be? Pushing up his sleeves with their braces to hold them in place, he's determined to win this competition.

He, at least, knows that cups aren't actually cups but rather giant spoons and so he rifles through the nearby drawer until he finds the right instruments. Except there's no measurement on them in their various sizes. Or on the tinier spoons he's seen Kushina use from time to time either and knows are somehow important.

This - will complicate things. They're here defending the honor of the Leaf however and no - whoever their competitors are - is going to beat their will of Fire. They're grown shinobi with a great deal of cunning between the two of them. They can handle this. So the large mixing bowl gets put on the counter and he picks the biggest cuppish spoon because what's larger than a cup in measurements? Kakashi's bag looks full of white fluffy stuff and it's not grainy like sugar so flour makes sense. He'll take it and start scooping.]

Next is baking powder. And... baking soda?

...

[ He's not liking this. Flour is easy to find, relatively, but baking soda and baking powder? What kind of evil person doesn't label those? ]

Do we need equal amounts of both?

[ Because one of these white powders might be cornstarch, but if they just put a tsp of everything in, then they've gotta have both things, right? Right??

Meanwhile, Kakashi's going to go find some of the spices... nutmeg is easy because he's grating that fresh, and cinammon isn't too hard, even if he has to stick his nose in a bunch of cannisters to find it.

But what the fuck is a clove? ]

[a Clove is a character in a teenager's surprisingly violent novella series, Kakashi. Minato knows this because he likes to keep up on what Kids These Days are doing. It... might also be some kind of spice or possibly a powdery thing if it's required for pumpkin cookies. Sorry, Kakashi. Minato is too busy trying to figure out which of the tiny spoons is a teaspoon to offer his sage advice on your non-children's book related dilemma.]

Yes. A teaspoon of each. [is there a time limit on this? There might be a time limit on this. Minato will pick the least offensive looking of the tiny spoons. Sometimes battle can be won by sheer decisiveness. Cooking should be the same way. Right?

Huh. So baking soda isn't a liquid? He'll take the canisters from Kakashi and proceed to measure out appropriate amounts of whatever it is that's in them that all looks the same to him. Maybe he should taste the contents before doing that? Kushina sometimes tastes her mixes while making them. Minato eyes the bowl of white power and decides it's far too early for last resorts like that.

The salt part at least should be easy. Minato can recognize salt and know it's not sugar based on the size of the container it's in. Now... half a teaspoon. Well... if the spoon he's using has been designated a teaspoon at this point then he's not going to mess with the other spoons. He can work out how to fill the spoon he's got halfway. That should work!]

[ Kakashi lays a palm flat over Minato to stop him from moving forward, takes the spoons, and fills one up with water and dumps it into the other. When he finds the one that fills it with two dumps, he hands that one over to his sensei.

And then he goes back into the pantry to find the clove, which results in him tasting a bunch of spices in jars and deciding which one them would taste best with the recipe. Don't ask how he managed to do that with the mask on.

He might also be taste-testing for vanilla, and poked holes in about ten cans looking for pumpkin purée. Thankfully, he's found both, and rushing them back into the kitchen. ]

I'm going back for eggs.

[Minato has always assumed there's an illusion jutsu for Kakashi's mask that allows him to eat and still appear to be wearing it. It's one of those things that he's always given is a matter of privacy for his student and so he's never tried to discern it as a matter of respect.

While Kakashi has been delivering supplies, Minato has dutifully been following the instructions on the recipe. If asked, he'd say he's got the easier of the two jobs once measurements are sorted, at least in his own mind. AT Kakashi's comment he'll nod and make a sound to show he's heard. And a smile in a quick flash.]

I think we're doing quite well.

[ He nods and then rushes back to find eggs, and cracks them into a bowl first just to make sure they didn't create eggshells to stick over something else. He's a ninja, paranoia's just part of the job description.

When he's satisfied, he separates them and then starts to put the dry ingredients together and the wet ingredients together. ]

Oh, what were the ingredients for the icing?

[ Because they'll need that. ]

[Minato is busy creaming together the wet ingredients by the time Kakashi's back with the eggs and by 'cream' he assumes that means stir. Maybe it's a special kind of stirring, he's not sure, but he's pretty sure that stirring is stirring and as long as he keeps it all in the bowl and it ends up completely mixed together than that will be close enough. 'Creaming' food sounds a bit disturbing anyway as far as he's concerned and he adds the eggs without missing a beat. There's a lot to be said for ninja control and coordination.]

There.

[one arm holding the bowl and the other busy stirring the mixture, Minato just gestures with his chin at the recipe. Most of it seems easy but - ]

There's no measurement for the milk. Just 'until it drizzles'.

[which technically sounds easy but as sure as Kakashi doesn't trust the eggs, a lack of measurement sounds just as suspicious to Minato on an otherwise measurement full list.]

How much of a drizzle?

[ Seriously, like a light drizzle that you wouldn't really call rain, or a heavy drizzle that you would possibly define as raining? Because that's really important, any less and it might be chunky, and more and it might fall flat. Not to mention the flavor would be different.

What stupid instructions. But Kakashi will keep an eye on it, or at least an ear on it until he can come up with a compromise of something in between.

The other team has nothing on them. ]

[the other team is obviously out of their league against nin of this kind of caliber. Minato's fairly sure the 'drizzle' reference is a trap to trip them up but he's not planning on being deterred.

Once he's satisfied the wet ingredients are properly mixed, Minato will pull over the bowl of dry ingredients he already put together and start adding it. It occurs to him that they might actually be required to eat what they end up with but he pushes that aside for the time to focus on the immediate. Now isn't the time to show weakness.]

It also doesn't tell us how to prepare the cookie tray. I've seen Kushina spread something on pans and trays before when she's baking but there's nothing about it on the recipe. The amount of time they're supposed to cook is also vague.

...I've got this.

[ He takes butter and greases the pan, takes what looks to be a tiny ice cream scoop and lays it to the side for portion control. ]

We'll just take turns keeping an eye on it as we work on the frosting.

[ This is going to be tricky, but he thinks they're ready to whip the ingredients together into a batter-- they'll have to taste it after that, of course. ]
