Title: taste of home
Fandom: Glee
Length: 306 words
Prompt: glee_anon: F/K, bed sharing. Or dinner. IDK.
Pairing: Finn/Kurt established
Other: Just a lost snippet from... last year that I found to post.

Excerpt: Finn was looking at the plate like he expected its contents to jump up and eat him. Kurt would be offended, but they had this argument at least twice a week. He rolled his eyes and spooned out a serving of his own.

"I don't know why you have to police my dinner like you do your dad's. I'm too young to have a heart attack."

Finn was looking at the plate like he expected its contents to jump up and eat him. Kurt would be offended, but they had this argument at least twice a week. He rolled his eyes and spooned out a serving of his own.

"You're never too young. And I know that when you go out with Puck, you cheat anyway."

"I'd never - I wouldn't cheat on you - " Finn's eyes were wide and he looked like he'd totally lost the thread of the argument. He picked up his fork and began to eat as if trying to prove his loyalty to all of Kurt, including his weird cooking.

"You cheat with food, you oaf," Kurt answered fondly, hooking his ankle around Finn's under the table. "I can smell the beef jerky when you come home. Do you know how bad that stuff is for you?"

"Tastes good," Finn offered, his concern deflating as Kurt explained. He took another bite and then looked down at his food as if seeing it for the first time. "This is actually good."

"Don't stop with the compliments," Kurt said, his tone dry. "Of course it's good. Rachel Ray might not be the most fashionable woman on television, but she can do some amazing things with extra-virgin olive oil."

"What makes it virgin?" Finn asked, brow furrowing.

"Well, for one thing, it isn't dating a gorgeous man," Kurt answered, as a smile crossed his face. "Actually, it's made from better olives. And it's healthier than frying things."

"Oh. Well, that's cool, I guess. And these green things are--?"

"Capers. Don't ask, just eat them."

"Fine, fine." Finn looked hopeful. "Dessert isn't going to be weird, is it?"

I told you I would! Even though this is impossibly fluffy. |D

Capers are delicious. I approve. Although not about the olive oil information, and if he's been cooking with olive oil, I may just cry. But it's salad, yes?

And I firmly believe that making dessert weird is hard. Unless blue cheese and leek ice cream falls under the label 'dessert' and not just deconstructed appetiser.

lolol who knows, I have nothing. I don't cook, so I watched some Thirty-Minute Meals with Rachel Ray and felt semi-educated.

....ewww. lol, I think that dessert is probably pretty normal. Maybe low-fat bread pudding (if that's even possible).

*did a chef course, so actually does have an idea* Pan fried salmon with a side of mesclun salad with lemon and olive oil dressing and capers, mozzarella and bagel crisps? Easy and quick but tasty and fancy sounding/looking, depending on how much you dress the plate.

I'd be more worried about the amount of carbs bread pudding has rather than the amount of fat it has. Because you could use low-fat milk and spread, but you can't get rid of the carbs in bread. Or salt, depending on if you used an actual loaf from a bakery or just the square processed loaves from the supermarket.
For a healthy-ish dessert, I'd probably resort to something fruit based. Like poached or baked fruit with soy/low-fat ice cream, a fruit sorbet or fruit cobbler.
*way overthinks the food*
