Let me tell you. Da Vinci. A genius, without doubt, but when he offered to cook for me, I made certain to dine out or, oh, have pressing engagements.

Although the ( fried mutton testicles in honey and cream were decent enough. )

I recently, ah, convinced the bartender at the hotel to let me dabble a bit. Let me share with you one of my latest concoctions. Remember, it is meant for Knights and Masters only! No Padawans, and please fly responsibly.

The Tatooine Sunrise

- 2 oz vodka
- 2 oz 7-Up or Sprite
- 3 1/2 oz orange juice
- pomegranate juice or grenadine to taste

This should produce roughly an eight ounce drink. Also, three of these has me on the floor, professing my love to the barstool.

09. What makes you laugh?

Well, there was this one time when Obi-Wan fell down the stairs...

10. My life would be easier if...

...I had a pulse?

11. What do you want?

To be heard.

12. Cooking?

Thank you, no. You see, nothing agrees with me anymore. Passes right through me.

Force. This is rather like shoving slender reeds under one's fingernails. I'm no longer sure what it worse--that I've become a comedian or that I'm telling the jokes to myself.

Honestly, I cannot cook anything without burning it. Even to boil water, I burn the pan.

Thankfully, Gabrielle cooks nearly all of our meals. I really look forward to the ones that she has time to prepare. It makes a long day of traveling almost worth it.

My favorite meal is this thing that she makes with rabbit. Mmmm.

Oh great, now I'm hungry and I can't find Gabrielle anywhere. I'll just have to wonder down to the hotel's restaurant and find something good.

By cooking, presumably the question is referencing Crawford's miraculous ability to turn a number on a plastic card into food.

Cooking? As in making food that's actually pleasing to the taste buds? Me?

Let me point you in the direction of my sister, Piper.

Never cooked a thing in my life. I usually get my meals from the processors or from the cafeteria in the Temple. That or the capsules that they force us to wear just in case.

Now, Obi-Wan, he's a pretty good cook. His meals are wonderful. I wish he would cook more, in fact.

Hey, cool, something kinda pleasant for the holiday.

Does this hotel celebrate holidays? I can't tell -- it doesn't look much more crowded than usual.

Anyway, cooking. There's not too much I can say on the subject. Generally I let the robots handle food duties because I've got better things to do. And, as a bonus, they never feel bad if I get distracted and let the food get cold like my mom does sometimes. I don't like making my mom feel bad, but I like stopping what I'm doing even less. You know how it is, you get on a roll and you just can't stop to eat.

I tried cooking a couple times. Mom kept giving me lessons at it when I was ten or so, but I never really took to it. After I set the stove on fire, she stopped trying. That's why we have cooks, you know! And robots.
