It needed to bake for fifteen minutes at 425 degrees. She did the calculations in her head. If the turkey was set at 325 and the pie needed to be at 425, maybe she could put the pie in at 325 and bake it longer. Yup, that is what she would do. Oh, Lois, that's not how it works, honey.

Don't worry, Lois, your best friend will not let you down! Love this little added scene, and Lois was indeed quite lucky to have found a place that could deliver her the food on time! Thank you for sharing!! -Bek

Glad Lois realized the secret to a perfect holiday dinner. ETA: Also, Lois, Spatchcock the turkey! It won't be as pretty, but by removing the spine and flattening it, you'll get a juicer, tastier bird in half the cook time! Last edited by Queen of the Capes; 12/09/22 04:59 PM. ~•~

Well, the “wondering” part. Considered various options during fanfic-plot-bunny discussions, oh sure. Quote With one little oven, how did she get everything done in time? Well, we have time travelers, 5th-dimensional Imps, and more cloning attempts than perhaps even bank robberies, so…some sort of molecular reconstruction? Quote “Turkey is in the oven,” Lois said to herself as she closed the oven. Looking around her small kitchen, she realized she still had tons to do. The turkey would take hours. Did she unwrap it? LOIS: Of course I pulled the price tag with the cooking instructions off the cellophane wrap. What sort of nit-wit do you take me for? Quote Luckily she had been able to find a cookbook at the local bookstore with an easy pie recipe. Don’t they have those printed on the backside of the pie-mix boxes? LOIS: Wait…what? Quote “How hard could this be?” she mumbled. She was going all out for this dinner so she decided to attempt a homemade pie crust. Getting a nice, crunchy brown crust shouldn’t be too difficult in the oven. Quote She tried to move the dough together, but it kept sticking to the counter. Flour? Quote She read the recipe over again and realized she needed to flour the counter. Quote Lois had found a roller in her kitchen in one of the drawers, not sure where it had come from. Garage sale. She thought it would make a great weapon. Quote As soon as Lois put the dough in the pan, she realized this was going to be harder than she thought. The finished pie, huh? Quote She did the calculations in her head. If the turkey was set at 325 and the pie needed to be at 425, maybe she could put the pie in at 325 and bake it longer. Yup, that is what she would do. Yah…nope. Quote The non-cook had the whole rest of an entire Christmas dinner she had to cook. Quote Lois was going to make a spectacular dinner even if it was cooked by someone else. Dialing is making, isn’t it? Quote She wasn’t sure if anyone would even come, but she decided she deserved a perfect Christmas dinner, even if she didn’t have anyone to share it with. Aww…and who would have thought that Clark’s star-present would be the most homemade thing at that Christmas dinner Really funny fuzzy Lois you did there. I kind of felt like she got worse and worse with each passing dish Michael Join us on the #loisclark Discord server! We talk about fanfic, our favorite show, life, and more!

Oh god I hate making dough, this is so relatable Quote Another dish that needed the oven. How did people make these fancy dinners with just one oven? Right?? I love fics with shenanigans, hahaha! This was cute and funny and even poignant in the end! She deserves a perfect Christmas dinner indeed!! What we've got here is failure to communicate...
