Got a salad for lunch. As intended, I at least tried everything in it. Didn't really learn anything new:

Tomatoes: One thing I've actually tried to eat a couple times before. Still hate them (flavor was too strong).

Cucumbers: If I've ever had one before, I don't recall it. I was hoping they'd be like a less-salty pickle. The flavor was fine (had nearly no flavor), but the consistency made me gag after eating my third one. (Ate the first one to try it, forced the second one to see if it'd grow on me, barely finished the third one.) I wonder if I was to make my own pickles (like so many of my LJ friends currently are), would they keep their vitamins? Or would they get leeched out into the brine?

Come to think of it, their slices were really more like chunks. Maybe I could try again with thinner slices...

Lettuce: Fine and dandy. I've eaten it before, I'll eat it again. I suspect there's not much "good stuff" in it though.

So add a Diet Coke and that's lunch. Meant to grab a little bag of popcorn to take back to work, but I forgot it. (Since I ate only about half of the salad, I'm expecting to be hungry long before dinner.)

This week's [livejournal.com profile] hp100 drabbles. The challenge was to pick one or more sentences from a list, and write about them.

#1: A rather disturbing Draco writing a rather disturbing letter from prison.
#2: Three words: Draco's hot tub.

I'll probably do more before the week's finished.



Title: Bacon Fat and Peanut Butter Nipple Sandwiches
House: Slytherin
Words: 100
Note: Used two sentences from the list. The first one is the first line; for the second one, check the end.

In a cold, dark prison cell a young man sits alone, reflecting on his actions... or at least paused in thought. Draco twirls his quill, then goes back to writing.

I'd slather your nipples in bacon fat and then dip them in peanut butter.

Though imprisoned, he's still permitted to send letters.

I'd like to have a three-way between us and your aunt. Or us and my father.

Prison bars won't stop him.

Have you ever considered bestiality?

With a smirk, he folds and seals the letter, then stands and hands it to a guard to be owled to Potter.

A/N: 11) In a cold dark prison cell a young man sits alone, reflecting on his actions. (Lhazzie) and 12) Harry receives a letter that disgusts him. (Kitty)


Title: Draco's Hot Tub
House: Slytherin
Words: 100
A/N: Using two again, and once more centers around Draco. (Man, doesn't it seem fitting for Draco to have a hot tub?)
8) Snape discovers that a surprising number of Hogwarts students are very, very gay. (Sajasma Lee)
19) Draco's got himself a hot tub. (harrypotterfreak)

Oh, and set sometime before GoF, otherwise this would be really disturbing.

-------------

Draco's got himself a hot tub, but you can't take a dip unless you're invited. And male. And handsome.

How'd he get it set up in the dormitory without anyone finding out about it? And how did news of it stay quiet for so long? Draco isn't saying. But word got out, and as head of Slytherin, Snape went to investigate.

Announcing himself as he strode through the door, the scene before him caused him pause.

Draco atop Blaise, Wood all over Diggory, and Potter enthusiastically licking a Ravenclaw boy.

Snape tried to decide between punishing them and joining them.

Glad you liked them!

Yeah, the taste of the cucumber was fine (like you said, they taste mostly like nothing), but the spongy outside and the icky slimy smushy slidey seeds in the center were just... yuck!

*shakes head in disbelief*

I actually did go and eat a huge chunk of cucumber ten minutes ago cos of your post, y'know. Nothing spongey or smushy about it!

The lettuce in my salad was on the old side. Maybe cucumber gets smushy with age?

Perhaps. Though it's also occured to me that we're probably talking about different things; I've never even seen a cucumber that has seeds - they're all seedless over here.

Interesting piece of trivia there, no?

(No.)

So that's why it's called an English cucumber, then! Fascinating! I never understood the English liking for cucumber sandwiches before, as I thought they'd be mostly seeds. (the light begins to dawn for this American...) But do your pickled cucumbers/gherkins have seeds in them, or not? Ours tend to, although we pick smaller-seeded cucumbers to make into pickles. Smaller cucumbers in general, in fact...(pickled anything-but-cucumbers is designated by name as pickled xx. Pickles = pickled cucumbers/gherkins.)

Oops, I meant to add, (pickles = pickled cucumbers for the Americans.) I know we're not the center of the universe...

I'm not sure, I don't eat them cos I can't stand em... however, McDonalds & other fast food places put gherkins in their burgers (which a lot of people remove before eating) and they don't seem to have seeds, so I'm guessing no. I'm gonna push the boat right out and say that us Brits don't go near things with seeds in em :)
