Naruto Thanksgiving: Pet Peeves

1) If the oven breaks down, don't use Chidori as a cooking alternative.

2) Never ask Neji to help with the cooking… unless you wish to hear a two hour rant on how the branch family is demeaned to kitchen duty.

3) If Naruto walks into the kitchen when Hinata is helping, be prepared for an unscheduled disaster.

4) Just don't let Naruto in the kitchen, PERIOD.

5) It's best not to have Shikamaru do the shopping, or you might not eat 'til midnight.

6) Best not to let Sasuke in the kitchen when Sakura and/or Ino are cooking, or visa versa.

7) Just don't have Sakura and Ino cook on the same shifts. Bickering shall ensue.

8) Don't bother asking Kakashi for tips, it's not the cookbook he's reading.

9) Have the Sand siblings remove all luggage before entering the danger zone (kitchen).

10) Make sure it's really Kankurou before you let him near the food.

11) Place a 'No Pets Allowed' sign on every entrance to the kitchen.

12) Inspect all batter for bugs.

13) Have an eye on Chouji at all times. Resupply his chips immediately on demand.

14) Be sure there is a whole separate meal for Chouji at dinner time.

15) Don't offer pie to Sakura or Ino.

16) Tenten is loose weight when it comes to cooking. Put her on decoration duty.

17) Lee will help in every way possible. He is the only on who will embrace clean-up duty.

Most important:

18) NEVER criticize Gaara's cooking.

19) Pay close attention to Kakashi-sensei during the meal. You might catch a glimpse of his face.
