Summary: Jack makes the team a special Thanksgiving dinner.  (Yes, I know the UK doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving, but Jack's supposedly American, and he needed a reason to make one of the dishes)

“Jack... what’s all this?” Tosh asked, staring at the food on the conference table.

“Thanksgiving dinner! We’ve got turkey, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, and bread pudding.”

“You made us dinner?” Owen was shocked.

“Of course!” Jack didn’t even try to keep the indignation out of his voice. “And it took forever to find some of the ingredients, so you better appreciate it!”

“Very kind of you, Sir,” Ianto said. “It looks delicious.”

Jack beamed. “Wait till you try the bread pudding. There’s a secret ingredient that makes it special.”

“Why does that worry me?” Tosh whispered to Ianto.


Author's note: Seventh in the powdered sugar crack!fic series. See if you can guess the secret ingredient Jack used for his bread pudding by looking at the recipe here.

Awwww, Jack. Good team building! He should do more of that on the show.

Owen better make sure he gets some of that pudding, he keeps getting left out.

Re: the recipe: OMG. I can almost feel the delicious diabetic shock setting in. (And hopefully not the Alien effect.)

I was watching food network and saw them making it and well.. that recipe just screams alien donuts, doesn't it? (I don't think it would taste good, and would be a terrible waste of 2 dozen donuts, but it lead to a pretty funny idea!)

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Seriously, how could you *not* use that idea? Excellent. And I love that you did a holiday edition of the Alien Donut series. :)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

See, that's exactly what I thought! I'm attempting a thanksgiving part 2 now, the word count is fighting me though

[unfeathered]

I don't think it would taste good

I've made bread pudding with brioche, which is fairly sweet, and that was lovely. I think this would probably be yummy, though I'd probably skip the rum sauce as I think that would be too sweet for me. :-)

Anyway, love the fic. Lots of fun and nicely in the holiday spirit! :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

really? hmm.. still think I'd rather eat them as donuts though

*Grins* naughty Jack!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and would you really expect anything else from him?

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Must. Not. Look.
BEDtime
Must sleep
Must not think of food


Does that mean Owen's finally going to *get some*

*whistles innocently*

*whistles innocently*

yeah, that really works for you....

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

*wide-eyed stare*

This work any better?

Seriously it isn't even that I like Owen but it's getting to the point where I'm actually feeling sorry for him missing out all the time. (You know I should hate you for that, right?)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

errr.. that means I'm a good writer, right? That I can make people feel sorry for Owen? the little prat

[itsarift-thing.livejournal.com]

Yes I think this establishes your writing credentials once and for all *G*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*bows* why thank you!

[itsarift-thing.livejournal.com]

You are most welcome

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHH DONUTS!!!!! Oh be CAREFUL!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

between the booze, the food, the strippers (don't. ask.), and THIS, I think this is quite possilby the perfect Thanksgiving.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

:) Your thanksgiving sounds a LOT more fun than mine! Glad you enjoyed the drabble!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

it was certainly interesting.

and I always enjoy the donut drabbles :)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

thanks! *blushes*

[geordie-star.livejournal.com]

HeHeHe! Very good! I loved the last line.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

omg cookie Dalek! I love it! Glad you liked the drabble!

[geordie-star.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked the cookie :D I made them myself. :P

[secbeth.livejournal.com]

I don't know what scares me more Jack cooking or the secret ingredent!!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

both are probably equally worrisome!

[avon-09.livejournal.com]

I am sooooooooo hungry now.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

but for regular donuts, right?

[avon-09.livejournal.com]

Actually I don't have a sweet tooth. It's someone else cooking dinner for me that I fancy.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

lol! Even if the green beans are squeaky I'd happily have JAck cook for me anythime!

[avon-09.livejournal.com]

In an apron and nothing else.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oooh, I LIKE the way you think!

[em615.livejournal.com]

That has GOT to be the most decadent recipe I've ever seen! Very suitable for Jack!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Honestly, the recipe scares me just a little, it must be SO sweet. But Jack would absolutely exploit it for the alien donuts, wouldn't he?
