I found an unopened can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup on the bathroom floor, so I just ate it for lunch. I choose not to think about the hows and whys of how the can got to be on the bathroom floor, and the soup brought back so many childhood memories. I kind of wish it was chicken and stars, though. That was always my favorite. I never added water to my condensed soup as a kid, either. I would pour off some of the salty condensed broth, though.

Anyway, so yeah. I just realized that I should never, ever do drabble memes. EVER. I was taking a nap, and I had this HIMYM dream (Barney and Lily talking, it was BFF-tastic and awesome, and the fact I dream about friends and not, like, porn is probably kind of telling about the state of my life right now), so when I woke up I started to write caruso's prompt, a J2 HIMYM.

I NOW HAVE 1300 WORDS, and Robin!Jensen and Barney!Jared haven't even had a conversation yet. DAMN IT, ALEX.

(and you'll never, ever guess who Ted and Marshall are. HA!)

Add that on top of the 700 words I already had for winterweathered's non-AU J2 prompt, I am FAILING at the "drabble" part of this meme, clearly. And I haven't even thought about everybody else's prompts because those two just are the first two.

WHY IS EVERYONE BRINGING THE COOKING PORN FIC LATELY? (and I don't mean sexing, okay, just cooking) STOP BEING AWESOME, MY LITTLE FOODIE BRAIN CAN'T HANDLE IT.

arlad with he drives me fuckin’ crazy (i am his everything), a schmoopy little ficlet, featuring accidental proposals or whatever.

and

essene with THIS, Home Cookin', a preslash foodporn dream, in which personal chefs are hired, superlative dinners are produced (BRAISED LAMB! CHOCOLATE POTS DE CREME! I'M SOLD, OKAY?), and the banter is fun.

Now I have to go and hunt up other food fic and make a themed recs list. Off the top of my head I can think of that Food Network one with the abrupt ending and Garlic and Butter (the Ratatouille one), and I bet there's plenty of good gen and wincesty cooking fics, too. I'm all excited about this now. Is it egomaniacal of me to include myself in that (I did write a gigantic one, after all)?



Also, much hilarity at spn_gossip. But no fights lately, which is kind of a bummer. Is it sick of me that I love when they fight?

REC: This site is actual food porn. That's even its name.

I made these tonight (and they are GODLY). And then I wrote this. It's been a good day.

title: Hors d'oeuvres
paiting/characters: J2, with appearances by JDM, Patrick Dempsey, and Jessica Alba
rating: PG-13
word count: 2400
note: A Food Porn timestamp. Schmoop pretty much just for the sake of schmoop. Un-beta'd.

summary: Jensen gets a job offer and Ross graduates the fifth grade. The hors d'oeuvres are incredibly disappointing.
