applecameronI leave the internet alone for half a day and suddenly my journal style changes and I can't pick 'component' as a style anymore. Sheesh.
Enough with the whining.
Some oldstyle SG-1. Before anything canonical ever happened to them. (I.e., season 1/2 ish.) No spoilers.
Teal'C blended togther the brown sugar, softened butter - which came from the mammary glands of bovines, CaptainCarter had informed him - yolks from the unfertilized eggs of domesticated and seemingly flightless fowl, and one egg white from the same, with the cream and dark rum.
The cream - also from the mammary glands of bovines - and the rum made pretty swirls as he stirred with a wooden spoon.
The final ingredient was "walnuts".
Teal'C darted a glance into the living room, where JackONeill and DanielJackson were perched, barefoot, one on the arm of the sofa, the other on the arm of the 'Lazy Boy', performing a Tauri ritual sport they called 'thumbwrestling'.
It involved frequent stops for beer, which, he'd speculated, after some educational programs on something called a "sports network", made the sport not all that different from "cricket", given that British tea and American beer seemed both to be comprised of "mostly water".
This conclusion, was, of course, pure conjecture. And he had been wrong at the "supermarket" about the nuts, after all, mistaking a Tauri slang word for a food ingredient. The combination of sweet and savory had made sense to him at the time, after his introduction to ChineseFood, courtesy of DanielJackson. CaptainCarter explained as they returned from the "supermarket" that walnuts were legumes while the "nuts" ColonelONeill spoke of were a euphemism whose linguistic origins and meanings were something he should really discuss with DanielJackson.
He had not yet asked, as DanielJackson had become engrossed in 'thumbwrestling' shortly after their return.
It could wait. Perhaps while the dish was baking for 40-50 minutes in a 350-degree-Fahrenheit oven, there would be time.
He added the nuts.
