Baking Night (2nd Floor Dorms)

[janet_fraiser]

Janet wasn't going to the memorial bonfire. It wasn't that she didn't care, it was just-- She short-circuited that train of thought and grabbed a bag of supplies from the corner of her closet. There was another bag in the fridge, and she grabbed her cartoon slippers before heading to the common area kitchen that Lee usually used to make toast.

She emptied the supplies for chocolate chip cookies onto the table--carefully, in the case of the carton of eggs--and started measuring out flour.

And if this was what she and Cassie did on the bad days back in Colorado, no one else needed to know that.


OOC: Open to anyone!

After the memorial service, Sam went back to the dorms and changed into her snuggliest, fluffiest flannel pajamas and baby white seal slippers. She shuffled to Room 239/240 and knocked on the door, hoping to find Janet, who hadn't been at the service.

The room having been empty, she was roaming around the second floor when she heard the noise and went to investigate.

"What're we making?"

[janet_fraiser]

Janet gave Sam an amused look. "We?" she asked. "Please, God, don't help. Chocolate chip cookies. Want to measure out the sugar?" Janet shoved the recipe over at her. "I'm making a double batch."

Sam stuck her tongue out at Janet. "I only burned down the kitchen that one time. The fireman said that could have happened to anybody."

She double checked the recipe and doubled the amount for the sugar, then measured carefully. "Where's the bowl?"

His hair still wet, Cameron entered the common room. "Yo," he said, at least tried to as he ended up yawning through it.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Cameron," Sam waved with the hand holding the measuring cup, spraying brown sugar everywhere.

"I'm thinking I've come too soon," Cameron said with a grin.

Anders, with a serious case of sleep-messy hair, waves at Cameron with his free hand as he and Cally enter the room (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/245314.html?thread=9112130#t9112130).

"Hey, Mitchell."

*Cally enters the common area, unsurprisingly attached to Anders at the hand, smiling*

Hey, what's going on? We could smell something interesting all the way down in 201. *grin*

[janet_fraiser]

"Hey, Cally!" said Janet. "I'm baking cookies, Cam's keeping me company, and Sam is getting in the way. Come on in."

John saunters into the common room. "Is there food in here? I could smell it cooking down the hall."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"That's what I thought too, but it seems like we've all been decieved." Cameron replies.

"Crichton!" Anders gives him a sleepy grin that's only made goofier by the state of his hair.

[janet_fraiser]

"Not yet," said Janet. "Apparently cookies-to-be smell just as good before they get in the oven, though." She started mixing the butter, sugar, and vanilla together carefully.

Parker wanders in, drawn by the smell, an hour or so after Sam, no longer wearing black. Unless you count the "I see Stupid People" T-shirt.

"Mmmm. Smells good. What's on the menu?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Parker!" yells Anders, who -- surprise -- is pretty much attached to Cally.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam waved to Parker. She was grinning and waving an flour-covered paper towel. "Chocolate chip cookies. Janet's supervising."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet laughs at Parker's shirt. "I want one of those."

As Cameron is being dragged out by Vala he shouts at Parker. "Yo! Ask Crichton about his name tag. It's really good!"

The First Batch Of Cookies Are Done

[janet_fraiser]

Janet pulls the first batch of cookies out of the oven, and starts pulling them off the cookie sheets and onto a sheet of newspaper so they can cool off.

Hopefully, no one will try to eat them while they're too hot. But she knows this group. Someone inevitably will.

"Mmmmmmmmmmm." Parker turns away from teasing John, then stalks over to the counter. "Ohhh, these smell good." She hovers over them, waiting for them to quit steaming.

*shuffles into the kitchen, wearing plaid boxers, an old t-shirt for Dirk Hopeless and the Undertow, and socks*

I smell cookies.

Anders drags Cally over, both of them goofy and grinning, with melted chocolate chips smeared over their hands and faces.

Bridge walks past the common room, stops, swivels around and pokes his head in the door.

"Heeeeey, cookies!" he grins. "Awesome!"

[janet_fraiser]

Janet packs up the cookies she wants to save for her roommates, and Daniel and Jack, and then leaves a bunch for everyone else.

She's tired and needs to sleep.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders grins. "Thanks for the cookies, Janet."
