Johnny has always been a bit of a mama’s boy, relying on her for a lot of things. He isn’t completely incompetent, but cooking is not one of his strong suits. So when his mother passed away in late July and left him an array of things along with a cookbook, he was determined to at least attempt making one of her dishes for a little comfort.

Sighing as he fastened his apron he opened the old book, reading through the recipe he has chosen before finding everything he needs. In his mind he’s witnessing himself like Gordon Ramsey himself, chopping the vegetables with ease and having the broth just right.

In reality that does not happen. The knife is almost too dull to properly cut the vegetables, and he has somehow managed to burn the water that was supposed to turn into broth, a lonely bouillon cube looking completely fried in the bottom of the pan.

He grumbles to himself before swallowing his pride and stepping out of the kitchen to find you. Tugging at your arm lazily he stands in front of you like a child who can’t be bothered to clean their room. “{{user}}, I burnt the water.” He says in a sheepish tone, breathing out another defeated sigh.
