no_takebacksHello everyone! Now that the food's been eaten, the family's been visited, and the presents are all unwrapped....it's time to go shopping for what you really wanted for Christmas and return all that other crap! A fun little game for today's DPP:
Tell us about the worst gifts Kara or Lee ever received or gave. OR...tell us about
the best. Who gave it to them? Was it each other? Why was it so bad? Or good?

Date: 2011-12-26 05:06 pm (UTC)But this...this might be the worst one ever, he realized as he looked around his poor kitchen. Every available surface--and even some unavailable ones--were covered in dirty dishes. There was a film of...something glazing his Italian marble countertops, and his previously gleaming stainless steel stovetop now was streaked with flour and sugar.
As was his little brother's girlfriend. When he'd offered to give Kara cooking lessons as a solstice gift to Zak, he hadn't had the forethought to realize the cyclone of chaos that usually accompanied her would demolish his recently renovated kitchen.
Suddenly his vision of the disaster site was obscured, as a dishtowel smacked him in the face. Kara's familiar cackle floated to his ears.
"Gods Lee, the look on your face... We'll clean it up, alright? Don't get your panties in a wad or whatever. Just get over here."
Frowning he yanked the towel off, but eyes bright with amusement met his and it was hard to stay angry when Kara was grinning like that. No, anger wasn't really what he was feeling at all. That's why he'd been standing at a safe distance on the other side of the kitchen.
Shaking his head, he obediently came closer to peer at the bowl of cake batter over her shoulder. Lee went to reach for the wooden spoon she was holding but Kara reached in to the bowl and swiped up some batter with her finger, then held it up to his mouth. "Taste this."
He froze. "That's not very sanitary, Kara."
"What! You know my hands are clean, you practically made me wash 'em three times before we started!" She wiggled her finger at him. "Just taste!"

You can also bring that boy you're seeing. And his brother, since you're such good friends. It'll be great! And don't say no, it'll break my heart.
Love,
Socrata.

Date: 2012-01-22 05:27 pm (UTC)Great scene. Worst present ever. Poor Zak will never be able to eat something cooked by Kara ever again. especially cakes.
but i have to admit that i'm with Kara on this
"So I added a few extra teaspoons or tablespoons or whatever? Who cares! The food police isn't going to come and confiscate the cake on us,"
but then again i am cooking on my own for around 20 years now and i never saw any food police around. or had THIS kind of a cooking lesson.....
