4th Floor Common Room [Friday Late Morning]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela wasn't a big chef. Or one at all, actually. But she had a sudden craving for some sort of brunch this morning, so she was in the common room making pancakes.

Okay they were microwave pancakes, but they were pancakes none the less. They still tasted good, and smelt even better, and that was good enough for her.

[[ooc: It's a common room, do I really have to say it's open?]]

"I've seen the flipping and frying ones go horribly wrong anyway." Robin giggled. "Of course the Swedish Chef can make almost anything go horribly wrong."

"I prefer the safe option when it comes to cooking," Angela admitted. "Do we have a Swedish chef? Or is this someone from home?" she queried.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Someone from home, but he did work here for a while. He had a cooking segment on my uncle's variety show."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"A chef where anything can go wrong with a TV segment?" Angela said with a little laugh. "Interesting."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"It actually made him very entertaining. That and he only spoke Swedish."

"There's always some fun to be had trying to decypher foreign languages," she allowed, smiling at him.

Angela looked at Robin thoughtfully a moment. "Does this uncle look a lot like you?" He did look a little familiar, now she came to think of it.

"Uh huh, only taller."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Huh." Well, it did sort of make sense. "Would he have been doing his show, say, fifteen years ago?" Best to check these things, just to make sure.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Your time or Fandom time?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Fandom time," Angela replied. "I'm from fifteen years back from now."

"Hmm, no the Muppet Show ended in 1980. Unless he started a show? It's only 1982 for me."

Angela shrugged. "Might've watched it as a little kid," she said.

"I got to be on it sometimes." Robin said proudly. "It was a lot of fun."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I've never been one to want too much of the publicity like that," Angela admitted. She got quite enough as it was, without playing up her existence.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Well I just like to perform. And I got to meet a lot of famous people."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"That, I'll admit, is pretty fun," Angela agreed, smiling at him.

She pulled the plate of pancake out of the microwave for Robin. "Syrup?" she asked him.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Yes please. I even got my punk rock merit badge with Debbie Harry's help." His tone of voice might just reveal a bit of a crush there.

Angela grinned. Aw, that was so cute. "That is awesome," she agreed, drizzling the topping over the plate.

"Here you go," she said, leaning to put the plate down for him. "Enjoy."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Thanks!" He carried the plate over to the coffee table, carefully slid it on top, then hopped up and started to eat. "Mm, these are good."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"For the very not-homemade things that they are, I'd have to agree," Angela said with a little chuckle. "There's something particularly awesome about easy to cook, and still nice food."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Like hot pockets." Which had not been invented yet in Robin's time, but he absolutely loved.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Angela confirmed, laughing.
