Devil in the Kitchen
My submission for @hprecipe-recfest! Please enjoy!
"Says I've gotta bake it for twenty minutes again." He frowns, eyes narrowing, the point of his wand scratching at the side of his head through his mess of hair. "What sense does that make? Why would you twice bake a – wait!" He reaches forward, snatching something, a card quickly flinging over his shoulder and fluttering to the floor behind him. "Wrong one. Done with that. Right. It's time for the sweetened condensed milk."
"Gods help Lily Potter," groans Remus, pinching the bridge of his nose between two fingers. James ignores him.
"I don't have condensed milk," bemoans James.
"And we've established you don't even know what it is," states Sirius like an eager puppy, leaning forward on the sofa. "You could use milk."
"Don't use milk!" warns Remus.
"I'm going to use milk!" chimes James excitedly. "We've got loads of it."
Remus whimpers, knees twitching up towards his chest like a frightened child.
"You're going to poison your wife."
"Hush, Moony. You're being dramatic," scolds Sirius, flapping a hand in his direction.

Bruce being absolutely horrible in the kitchen will always be a fav, but listen aight
Would Alfred really let this boy live with teaching him how to cook? I know Alfie drilled it into his brain on how to cook with perfection, but Bruce just chooses to make bum ass food for a reason only god knows, most weirdest combinations that got so weird to the point Alfred banned him from ever stepping foot in the kitchen ever again

Tuesday Snippet
Uh...so I've been tagged a lot in like the past month in snippet shares and last line games. Most recently by @tracingpatternswrites, @squintclover, and @theresthesnitch, so thank you all so much for that! Mostly what I've been working on lately has been super secret stuff, so I've not really had anything to share, but here's a snippet from my recipe rec fic that I'll finish eventually (though maybe not by the deadline oops).
Open tag for literally anyone who wants to share something, but a soft little tap to @brandileigh2003 @in-flvx @mycupofrum & @lizlemonbennet

"Right. Right, right," says James quickly with a small jump. "So I thought that not only would this make her feel better, but maybe I could, you know…show her up a bit."
"A truly selfless act, then," gives Remus lightly. "In true James Potter fashion."
"Hush up," scolds James, taking on a pout. "It's not selfishness. It's the point of it, Lupin." Remus hums as James glares at what he can see of him through the glass of the mirror.
"I still don't understand why you need my help," interjects Sirius before James can dither on about Remus' attitude any longer. "I'm shit at baking. I set our oven on fire just the other day."
"He did. It was foul," agrees Remus, head slumped backwards over the sofa, staring at the ceiling, likely lamenting his choice of partner and friends. "Smelled a bit like burnt cheese. I'm still not sure how he managed it with currants."
"I'm aware, but you know how to use all the Muggle stuff," invades James, ignoring Remus' comments. "It was like climbing a mountain for you, mastering them."
"And master them I did," says Sirius proudly.
"Did you, though?" questions Remus with heavy suspicion. "Cheese and currants in our once pristine oven, that's all I'm saying."
Sirius shushes him, finger tacking to Remus' lips.
