Corrina.

MMMMmmmmm. Yummy. Tasty.

Thank goodness that Clark is blessed with infinite patience.

It's probably best if Clark cooks the rice. After 15+ years of marriage (and countless lessons), my hubby (a professional chef) still can't believe my ability to always make rice sticky.

It sounds like Lois has already completely forgotten about Claude.

LOIS: <<to reader>> Who? <<to culinary instructor Clark>> So, do you know how to make anything chocolate?

I wonder if this is where Clark would have ended up if he had showed up at the DP before Claude had been summarily sacked (or shifted DP offices).

This is looking to be an interesting tale! Are you cooking up lots of Lois and Clark waff?

Can't wait for more!

A delight from first the word to the last.

I especially liked the rescuing banter at the end.

I'd write more, but there is an incoming thunderstorm, and I want to unplug my computer now. (That last clap of thunder sounded pretty near.)

Joy,
Lynn

Delicious chapter! I want more!

Andreia

Delightful. Looking forward to more.
BTW I do hope this tale will include a dreadful event for Claude.

Lovely. Glad to see the usual friction, flirting, friendship, banter and attraction all present already.

Delicious! How about they forget about the meal for Claude and get right down to their own repast?
What, only a 3 part story then? Well, maybe that would work. Is that one of the endings? If so, I vote for that one!

Mmmmm, delicious! I hope Claude doesn't get to taste a bite of it.

That's not something you expect to hear every day.

I like how Lois tries to steamroller him, and he just isn't having it. He's going to make her help cook and enjoy it whether she likes it or not.

I'm wondering whether Clark is still going to be there when Claude arrives, thereby driving a wedge between them, or if Clark will leave in time but treat her so well that Lois recognizes what a jerk Claude is in comparison. Or maybe both.

I'm guessing that his plans that didn't work out were that he tried to get a job at a newspaper but failed. I like that he recognizes Lois and knows her by reputation, and I wonder if it's going to come up that he's also an aspiring journalist. I imagine that if she were to find that out, she would be instantly suspicious of his being there instead of Mrs. Spangler. He could be trying to get into her good graces to weasel his way into a job, after all. (Not that he would do that, of course, but Lois would assume that.)

It seemed a bit odd that Lois kept on thinking of and calling her "Mr. Kent". I was really that by the end they were Lois and Clark. They are making good progress. I especially liked all the touching.

If I counted right there should be 4 more parts. This was only 2, so there should be 3, 4, 5 and 6 left.

I really hope we do not see Claude actually show up.

The only fly in the ointment is Claude. I hope that he'll call and cancel again, and Lois'll ask Clark to stay and eat with her. :rolleyes: That would be a perfect way to spend a Valentine evening
More soon, please.

Cute so far!

Hi John:
That was meant as a joke. Skip the whole plot thing and get right to the romance was what I was implying. Although 4 more parts of romance would suit me too.

Artemis

Yummy!

So now let's just hope Claude doesn't show up... or if he does, he quickly realizes he has stiff competition.

love!

When I read part one, my heart was in my throat. Just the mention of Claude is enough to raise my hackles!

Now that 'Mr. Kent has arrived, the story is taking a decidedly yummy turn.

Sooo glad Mr. Kent stood up to her rather than cook the meal for her. It has always bothered me that Lois was so helpless in the kitchen. All it takes is a little time, patience and a willingness to learn. It does not hurt to have a super cute instructor either!

When are you serving up the third course?

OMG!! I'm so sorry!! I posted my comments in the worg place!!!! Help!!
