Title: On Tonight's Menu
Pairing: Rimmer/Lister
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Still don't own Red Dwarf. Still don't make money from this.
Spoilers: Legion.
Notes: I'm cooking. I felt like it. ;)



Lister was an excellent cook. He never read books, but he had a large collection of cookbooks (which he felt didn't count), that he'd read several times from cover to cover. He could make dishes that tantalized the senses and brought grown men to tears just from the smell of them...

...in theory. In reality, there was Arnold Judas Rimmer, chewing slowly and laboriously, with a disgusted look on his face.

Luckily, Lister knew of more than one way to satisfy the man he loved. Fifty minutes later, the look on Rimmer's face was rather different indeed.

Rather indeed?

The rest of it's good, though. Very in keeping with Lister to believe he's utterly brilliant at cooking, and have that little mental narrative. Then promptly shrug it off when he fails, and try one of the three thing's he's actually good at (along with pool, and balancing pints on his head while whistling, right?) And I have my suspicions about why a man who likes grated raw onions on cornflakes might be able to bring someone to tears with his cooking.

Don't cook and drabble at the same time. Oops. I juggled things around a little so I could fit the missing word in. Drabbles are fun in that you have to make them 100 words exactly. Well, that's how I play, anyway. It's like a fanfic equivalent of crossword puzzles! ;)

I think Lister isn't that bad of a cook, really. It's just that he's lazy, so he's likely to take short-cuts, and substitute things with other things they really shouldn't be substituted... with. And then, of course, there's the fact that he won't have any notion of 'too spicy'. So yes, 'in theory' are the operative words.
