Culinary Appreciation

by Red Wolf

Andrew knew he'd never win prizes for his cooking. But even if it was up to the standards of the great chefs, his audience of bickering, teenaged girls had all the culinary appreciation of garden gnomes.

He'd long ago learned that they only recognised food if it arrived in cardboard, preferably delivered by someone cute. Subjecting their uncultured palates to anything more was a waste of food.

At least he'd managed to teach Dawn that experimental cooking was best confined to small test groups of well-briefed subjects. For that alone, he'd earned the undying gratitude of everyone in the house.

The girls oughta be glad to have anyone willing to cook for them, good or not. Especially with their appetites!

Thanks for the editting anomoly catch.

You'd thing the little monsters would be grateful, but they never showed it. And all they'd have to do was leave a naked Xander handcuffed to Andrew's bed as thanks — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.03.2005 14:56 AEST |

LOL! And it has two-fold benefits, as it would be a pleasure for Andrew and torture for Xander. Double the fun! ::eg:: — via LiveJournal — posted by Moonbeam at 14.03.2005 14:57 AEST |

experimental cooking

You are suddenly, with that phrase, making me glad that I'm a pain-in-the-ass-finicky-eater type — via LiveJournal — posted by IrishVampire13 at 14.03.2005 14:58 AEST |

Some time experimental cooking can be good. Mostly it's just horrifying — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.03.2005 14:59 AEST |

Ha-ha! Poor Dawnie! Still, good move on Andrew's part. Nice one — via LiveJournal — posted by Murielle at 14.03.2005 14:59 AEST |

At least Dawn is learning. Which is more than I could say for a flatmate I had who was old enough to know better — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.03.2005 15:00 AEST |

Ah, Andrew the chef. Lovely! — via LiveJournal — posted by Willa at 14.03.2005 15:00 AEST |

Poor Andrew did seem to get lumbered with all the traditional girly tasks. And he looks so cute in an apron — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.03.2005 15:01 AEST |

Hehe! Good one! — via LiveJournal — posted by Kristen at 14.03.2005 15:03 AEST |

Thank you! — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.03.2005 15:03 AEST |

Ahh Andrew! Lovely drabble (loved the gnome reference!) — via LiveJournal — posted by sunnyd_lite at 14.03.2005 15:04 AEST |

Thanks!

Not a fan of the garden gnome. Horrid creepy little things, much like that batch of Potentials — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.03.2005 15:04 AEST |

I love it when you write Andrew! — via LiveJournal — posted by Jessica at 14.03.2005 15:05 AEST |

Thanks! Andrew is wonderful fun to play with — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.03.2005 15:05 AEST |

Hee! Very cute — via LiveJournal — posted by Kristina at 14.03.2005 15:06 AEST |

Thanks! — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.03.2005 15:07 AEST |

And do the girls ever thank him? I think not. Drabble-licious. 8 ] — via LiveJournal — posted by zandra_x at 14.03.2005 15:07 AEST |

They never did. The heartless wenches — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.03.2005 15:08 AEST |

lol. gosh, you've put me in the mood of just that specified cardboard encased cute-couriered food... ::licks fangs:: — via LiveJournal — posted by Pheral at 14.03.2005 15:13 AEST |

Alas, it's a bit of pot luck with attractiveness of the pizza dudes — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.03.2005 15:13 AEST |

Loved it. Dawn's new ideas for food should be tasted only by a select few — via The Batpack — posted by Sarah Leathers at 14.03.2005 15:22 AEST |

Poor Andrew! ::L:: And it sounds like me and my housemates — hence why I pretty much just cook for myself... — via LiveJournal — posted by phendog at 14.03.2005 15:53 AEST |

Housemates are tricky animals. I've lived with an experimental cooker, which could be frightening at times, so sometimes cooking for yourself is better than the alternative of cooking for a horde of unappreciative people.

Maybe you should get an Andrew to cook for you — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.03.2005 15:54 AEST |

I don't think I would be brave enough to eat anything Andrew cooked up! You caught his thought processes perfectly here — via The Batpack — posted by Sandra Strait at 14.03.2005 16:04 AEST |

I never thought of Andrew as a foodie, but I can totally see it now — via fanfiction.net — posted by CindyCindy at 14.03.2005 16:13 AEST |
