Very cute story! It reminds me of some absent-minded/sleep deprived moments of cooking with my best friend in college (in the microscopic kitchen shared by the entire dorm floor). My friend forgot to boil the water one time before pouring in the pasta, and another time couldn't figure out why the water wasn't getting how (she never turned the burner on). Sweet, fun memories, and I can SO totally see Lois making those kind of missteps. Thanks for sharing such a sweet fic.
