Second Floor Common Room - Tuesday Afternoon

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

Meg had been watching too much Food Network lately and decided to actually cook food instead of watching people do it on TV. So she got out the ingredients for peanut butter brownies and started making them from scratch. Anything else was cheating. She wasn't semi-homemade. Sorry, Sandra Lee.

[OMG I don't have a facepalm icon. But the post is open nevertheless!]

Z wandered into the common room, despite it not being 'her' common room, and waved to Meg. "Hey. Are you cooking something?"

"Sure am," she said. "Peanut butter brownies."

[multiplez]

"..." said Z. "Marry me."

Meg giggled. "I actually don't think Dean would have a problem with that."

[multiplez]

"Probably not," said Z. "This is Dean we're talking about here, after all."

"I'm pretty sure the promise of brownies would help convince him to be okay with our marriage too," she said.

"Not just brownies," Z reminded her. "Peanut butter brownies."

"Can't be forgetting the peanut butter. It's the best part," Meg said. "I feel so bad for people who can't enjoy the deliciousness of peanut butter."

[multiplez]

"Theirs is a tragic affliction," Z agreed. "They'll never know the joy of peanut butter and chocolate."

"Best combination ever," she said, grinning. "Why hasn't a giant statue of that Reese's guy been built yet again?"

Andrew's room was right next to the common room. The smell was too good to not investigate.

"I smell tasty goodness," he said, following his nose into the room.

[multiplez]

"Do you know," said Z, "I don't know. They haven't built one by my time, either."

"You smell correctly," Meg said, grinning. "Unless I accidentally mistook the salt for sugar. But I don't think I did. I'm usually pretty good about that stuff."

"Are you sharing or are you just evil?" Andrew asked with a grin.

John had been heading down to Andrew's room, but seeing people in the common room with the smell of chocolate emanating was pretty hard to resist.

"I sure hope you're sharing."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"That is so sad," Meg said, shaking her head. "Mr. Reese needs more recognition."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Of course I'm sharing!" she said, giggling. "No way I can eat all these by myself."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"I am," she said. "I like peanut butter brownies as much as the next person but there is no way I can eat a whole batch by myself."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Glad to hear it," John said. "Any special occasion for brownies or are you just trying to draw all the sensitive noses to a central location?"

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

"And, I have to ask, but are these brownies free of any mind altering drugs or plant products, because I don't need to be repeating that experience any time soon."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Hey," John said, giving Andrew a big smile. "Been able to wash off that permanent marker yet?"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Actually, I was watching a lot of Food Network and I got in the mood to bake," she said with a grin. "But the company of others is a good perk too."

Isabel followed her nose into the common room. "Baked goods? For sharing?"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"These are drug free, trust me," Meg said. "I wouldn't be baking them in such a public area if they weren't."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Of course!" Meg said. "I think a riot would start if I denied people brownies."
