Thank you for leaving feedback!
KenJ: Finally, a new take on the 'Lois can't cook' theme that runs through so many fics.
I just thought it would be fun to explore why on Earth Perry would have threatened Lois with writing for the Food Section of the newspaper (of all things) in Fly Hard.
Morgana: Hmmm one wonders why M. Bouchard would have a subscription to his former newspaper.
I thought M. Bouchard was just the French Chef Lois asks for cooking lessons in Ghosts! What other episode is he in? I totally missed it!
Still this story has all the earmarks of 'more to come'
Any possibility of that happening?
Umm…not at the moment. I *do* have an idea for Perry sending Lois on a dog-show-esque story as punishment (where of course Lois comes back with a Pulitzer-worthy story, naturally), but that idea is still in its embryonic stages.
Annie: Glad you enjoyed it!
Christina: It's not just the stories though, Lois in the series herself states she can't in "Chip off the old Clark" in season three and it was a running issue in "Ghosts" from season four (culminating in her being ABLE to cook only breakfast after the ghost leaves her body for good.)
You know, I actually personally think that Lois cooked the London Broil to perfection in 'Ghosts.' The quickest way to get me to lose my appetite is to show me some still-pink meat! Ah, the perils of taking microbiology while I was still young and tender…(and a wee bit pink in the middle myself!)
I do wonder if she experimented with her heat vision when she had Clark's powers. She might have been sighing over that if she knew how to work that right. Remember Clark with his over-easy eggs? I'm betting that was one of the exercises he did with her (I get the feeling that it was one Martha had him do to learn to control it.)
You're right; that would be a great way to help navigate the powers! No wonder Clark is such a great cook!
IolantheAlias: Hee hee! I guess Perry got tired of having his threats taken for granted, and decided to show Lois once and for all that she can't cross the line!
Yup! Now the question is, can it EVER work?
