"St. Ferris of Wheel. He's the patron of lost causes, dumb luck, pilots, and idiots."

"He led a complicated life," explained Sheppard

This made me snarf my CheesyMac LOLZ.

Thank you so much! That was so totally my favorite line in my head ^^

"Exactly how many cakes have you made?"

I got very suspicious myself around the "Oh, essentially it's a simple buttercake recipe"

Ah, Calvin and Hobbes, I went crazy and bought the complete set.

I think you'd have to ask Jeannie, 'cause Rodney's never telling if he has any choice at all and I can think of far, far too many possible explanations to settle easily on one. Yeah, I've contemplated it. Maybe he took on some cafeteria duties in Siberia because it was the only way he could ensure he wasn't un/intentionally poisoned. Maybe his parents didn't ever make birthday cakes, or couldn't ever be bothered to remember. Maybe he learned during college; maybe he had some crush he was trying to impress; maybe he watched too many cooking shows; maybe someone brought 'Good Eats' DVDs to Atlantis-- high melodrama to boredom, there's a world of possibilities. I wouldn't have the faintest idea which to go with-- pick your favorite(s), make your own: either it's better left to the imagination or I'm too lazy and indecisive to settle on a single story, whichever explanation you like better. ^_ ( ... )

"You remember we have a two hour time limit," said Ronon, "right?"

It's like the Stargate: Atlantis version of Iron Chef!

Actually, that hadn't occured to me... though I suppose strictly, to be Iron Chef, there'd have to be competitors, and there is definitely a story in that. oh dear god it could theoretically be a sequel. If that happens, I am totally blaming you. I don't know whether to hope it does or it doesn't... Heh ^^ The fact that I now know the dicing duties would have to be delegated to Ronon as a matter of course is a bad sign....

half_elf_lost August 8 2007, 19:32:50 UTC

I will gleefully accept all blame.

Ronon has various knives hidden all over that he whips out for variou purposes, of course (dicing, slicing, scoring). Tee hee!

Rodney seems to know an awful lot about baking cakes... *g*

Enjoyed this very much!

ameretrifle August 8 2007, 06:44:28 UTC

And he's trying so hard to deflect their attention away from that fact, so futilely... Thank you so much! ^^

*dies* Oh, they are total DORKS! I love them so, and I love this story! Wonderful!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it that much! ^_^
