Oh geez, Barur would be so pissed that he was limited by the whole siege thing when making food for his little sister’s wedding. Still, Special Efforts are made, which means that the food was amazing. Just a little low on certain ingredients, especially fresh ones.

YES ❤ Awww, Barur. Such a good big Bro.

(ohgod, he would be so surly. SO surly. Bomfris why why get married in the middle of a siege, what the hell are siblings, mahal dammit all, this recipe isn’t going to work without berries…)

Sometime after The Stomehelm goes and asks Barur for cooking help, Barur goes and gives Bomfris the stink-eye. Because her chosen spouse is a giant dork. Barur demonstrated his older-brother approval by showing Thorin how to make Bomfris’favorite foods.

Barur is a very good Big Bro. ❤

(And awwwww – cooking lessons with Barur Stonebelly! Feat. Thorin Stonehelm as the incompetent apprentice, lolol. I’d watch that show!)

I’m imagining the Stonehelm making sweets very seriously to impress his lady love. Mixing ingredients with Dwarven precision. Making sure that it all looks attractive (the icing was applied with mathematical precision). He also takes her sweet tea and lemonade so she can have a cold drink on a hot summer day.

*clutches heart* *keels over* what a sweetheart!

Oh, a thought! Thorin Stonehelm would (very nervously) talk to Bomfris’ brother Barur – even though he’s royalty, Barur Stonebelly is NOT one to approach lightly when he’s in his kitchen! – and ask for a little help, perhaps a few pointers in the right direction? Please?

Barur would purse his lips and grunt. “Right, stand there, mix that,” he would command.

And that’s how the Crown Prince of Erebor ended up with icing in his eyebrows.

Dwarves totally make gingerbread, esp. in the shape of people. Maybe especially for Durin’s Day? Barur’s crew are always busy making and icing a ton of the things in preparation.

OH GOD I LOVE GINGERBREAD OM NOM NOM NOM NOM

Bombur and Barur probably pack rad school/work lunches. They look amazing and taste better, even before the family moved to Erebor and had the money for the good/healthy/not almost spoiled ingredient. So much jealousy among the other schoolkids and workmates.

OH MY GOD YESS

$2 says that there is a word or phrase somehow in Khuzdul for ‘exellent preparer of cookies’. Barus gets called this. Dwalin also uses this for Bilbo.

AWWWWW. Barur and Bilbo, excellent cookie-smiths! I love it.
