I- Grocery Store

Han's not quite sure how he's wound up with so many people under his care. It was a gradual process, and somebody has to do it. But the end result is that if he wants to hold dinner for everyone he's taken on, it involves quite a shopping trip. So he's loading up his grocery cart with all manner of meat and vegetables to feed his crowd.

II- Heading Home

He's got quite an assortment of shopping bags, in the end. He stops to shift a few items around to make the bags easier to carry and comes across...

He definitely didn't buy a mask at the grocery store. "Huh."

III- Anakin's apartment, Kylo's apartment

He's not sure either of them are really keen for the idea of joining a family dinner. But they both apparently are family. So he's knocking on their doors to at least invite them. Leia would want him to make this effort.

IV- For Han's army of Jedi and Digidestined

Family dinners are always one of Han's favourite things. And there's no reason he shouldn't continue that here. He's prepared a classic Corellian sausage dish as well as a lighter Alderaan inspired salad that Leia once mentioned and invited all his assorted strays to join him for a proper family meal.

[She knew it might be considered rude, but...she couldn't help herself; wandering into the kitchen while the food was cooking, she risked standing up on her toes by the nearest counter and peeking at the source of that delicious smell.]

What is it? It smells wonderful.

[notsosolo]

[Han by no means minds children coming into the kitchen. He likes it, actually. That's how he learned all this from Dewlanna.]

What you're smelling is probably the sausages. There's a lot of spice in them.

Did you want to help me make some salad dressing?

[givesalittlewhistle]

Can I?

[Her eyes lit up at the thought of being able to help. And she didn't know how to make salad dressing, so it would be a new experience for her! One that...hopefully wasn't too difficult. She'd hate to accidentally mess up his dinner.]

[notsosolo]

Sure.

[It's a good job for a kid, since there's no chopping involved.]

There's a few things you need in any salad dressing.

[He starts pulling bottles from the pantry]

[givesalittlewhistle]

[She watched over the corner of the counter. Noting each and every bottle he pulled. Recognizing some of the labels, but not all.]

How are we going to mix them together? ...ah! Should I get a bowl?

[That was usually how her mother mixed things. Either a bowl or a blender.]

[notsosolo]

You should, there in the bottom cupboard.

[He gestures at one she can easily reach]

You always need oil, acid and seasoning.

[givesalittlewhistle]

Oil...acid...seasoning...

[She echoed the list of ingredients to herself softly while she reached for the bowl, holding it up to him.]

Got it!

[notsosolo]

[He takes the bowl and holds up a bottle]

We're going to use lemon juice as the acid this time, because it tastes best on spinach. Usually the main green in this recipe is ruica, but they don't have that here.

[givesalittlewhistle]

[Ruica. Hikari had...no idea what that was. But she recognized the name spinach! Although she'd never had it in a salad with lemon juice before, she trusted that Han knew what he was doing. It would be a new experience for her!]

What about the seasoning? What would we use for that?
