  Best lines (IMHO): Or possibly, he knows I’d kill him.
I’d find a way. Watch it be something like, The One and Only Year I Spent in Metropolis Due to Lois Lane’s Terrible Cooking. Maybe they’ve started holding Justice League meetings on my fire escape just for kicks, and this is a weekly inspection. That last one had me wiping tears of laughter. I can just imagine the guys standing there, and it's all I can do not to dissolve in a fit of giggles again. Thanks for sharing JD, totally made my morning!

Oh, this was such a sweet and funny fic! My favorite lines: Maybe they've started holding Justice League meetings on my fire escape just for kicks, and this is a weekly inspection. Okay, Lara quoted it already, but it just is side-splittingly funny!!! ![[Linked Image]](http://www.slowlysinking.com/images/chef22.jpg) Ann

So Superman is doing Clark-style standup now? And the Justice League is camping out on Lois's fire escape? Does she have the Metropolis Fire Chief on her speed-dial?
That was cute! I liked it. Where's the next one?

This is just delightful. I think my favorite part was: It actually oozed out into burnt lumps, like…like black bacteria dividing. Or the oil spill that crazy environmentalist tried to toss me into last week. This just feels so Lois! Bob

Jenn, that was too funny for words! I always enjoy your comedies so much. And I love the little revelation hint at the end. I wonder if Lois wakes up in the middle of the night and thinks, 'wait a minute...'
Thank you for sharing!

I loooove the title. I have such a backlog that it took me awhile to get to this one, trying to read in an orderly fashion to that I wouldn't miss a little gem here or there. In the meanwhile, I've been singing Beetle's tunes in the back of my brain.
You know how they say that memories tied to emotions or smells are the most vivid? When microwaves were new-fangled contraptions, at least in my financially conservative house, my sister and I tried a recipe for microwave peanut butter cookies. Since the recipe didn't tell us what to expect, we kept looking through the window and cooking it longer and longer and longer, waiting for them to brown. Finally my mom asked us to take them out and check on them. When we opened the door, the airtight seal was broken and the smell... I decided that there was nothing in the world that smelled more acrid than something burnt in the microwave. (My brother asked, "Do we eat them?" He's no Solomon.)
The only thing worse is the smell of burnt plastic. I have another vivid memory of that one, unfortunately it's much more recent. I'm supposing that the combination of my two worst smells, burnt Saran Wrap in the microwave, would be atrocious.
Hilarious!
