Cooking 101
Ch.3
Disclaimer: If I owned the rights than the show would be MUCH better. No offense to any Vala lovers, but she is a whore.

"Colonel, I told you NOT to bake the cakes!" Jack yelled in exasperation at his 2IC.
"Jack! I am fully capable to bake a cake!" Sam yelled back.
The 23 volunteers were spending some serious overtime in the kitchen at the SGC. With the cooks off duty for 3 days most people were sent scouring the vending machines for edible food, and they weren't having any luck.
To just about everyone's surprise, the SGC kitchen had 5 ovens, 4 stove tops, 4 long tables, and 5 giant, walk in freezers. Those with limited cooking experience were sent about chopping, frosting, mixing, grating, and fetching things for the others who were actually cooking.
The people doing the individual jobs looked like this:
Cooking:
-Jack
-Jacob/Selmak – that about shocked everyone
-Janet
-Cassie
-Carter – Jack tried to talk her out of it, she yelled at him
-Elizabeth
-Hank
Chopping:
-Dr. Lee
-Neissa
-Nieh
-Ishta
-Ferretti
Fetching:
-Thor
-Loki
-Tayla
-Daniel – cut himself w/ a knife
-Cameron
Reading out instructions:
-Vala – the farther away from Sam the better
-John
-Jonas Quinn
Turning people away from the cafeteria:
-Teal'c
-Ry'ack
-George
Everyone turned to stare at the Colonel and General as they were shouting back and forth,
"That's 'sir' to you, Colonel!" Jack felt his irritation levels rise.
"Thought you HATED it when I called you 'sir'!" Sam knew she was being insubordinate, but at this point she couldn't care.
"That's when we're on downtime! Also, all I said was-"Jack started to say something when Sam cut him off.
"You were criticizing my cooking! How about every time you drag us to go fishing I complain when you inevitably burn the food!" Sam felt her face heat up when she saw that everyone was looking at them.
"That's because the LAST time anyone allowed you to cook you put 9 officers in the infirmary with FOOD POISINING! You made PIE!" Jack looked incredulous.
"If you would care to remember, YOU and DANIEL finished making the pie for me when I got the flu, spilt the filling all over the floor, decided to make another filling, forgot to refrigerate the stuff, and gave it out at lunch and blamed ME when those officers came down with the food poisoning!" Sam was yelling louder at Jack now.
"I –"Jack was cut off AGAIN.
"You didn't even say sorry! I felt really bad about that." Sam was glaring at Jack now.
"I was-"Jack tried again, with no luck.
"What? You were going to when I forgot about it! I was so humiliated! I couldn't believe that you would do that to me!" Sam felt her eyes tear up.
"I'm sor-"Jack now was trying to think of some way that Sam would let him get a word in, and came up with the ultimate solution. When Sam opened her mouth to start yelling again Jack walked over quickly and kissed her full on the mouth. Cassie let out a squeal of delight before Janet tactfully ushered everyone away. Fortunately no one had anything in the ovens or on the stoves that needed immediate attention. Jack pulled away from his shocked Colonel, "Like I was TRYING to say earlier, I'm terribly sorry. You are a wonderful cook."
Sam sat down on one of the bar stools, trying to make her brain reboot, "A-apology accepted," Sam just laid her head on her hands on one of the counters, just looking at Jack.
10 minutes later everyone came back, trying not to look like they had just witnessed the General kissing the Colonel. Jack thought everyone had forgotten about it when Janet came over, on the pretense that she needed some vanilla extract and Jack had had it last,
"That was very interesting, General."
"Thanks Janet. Did everyone witness it?"
"Yes. Daniel looked like he was going to have a stroke from the amazement."
Jack laughed as he pictured Daniel like that, "um….Hammond?"
"Trying to pretend like he didn't see it. I think he's trying to get Thor or Loki to scare the Security team into wiping out the footage." Janet said out of the corner of her mouth as Sam was looking at them oddly.
"Thanks Janet." Jack whispered.
"You're welcome, Jack," Janet said, then she spoke louder, "Thank you, sir for the help." Janet walked away with the vanilla extract that was in her pocket, now in her hands.
The rest of time everyone spent cooking was, in one word: interesting. Vala had ATTEMPTED to seduce Cameron, George got in an argument with Thor over the Prometheus's hyperdrive capability, Jack had, with his previous actions, inadvertently caused Cassie to pester him with VERY uncomfortable questions about him and Sam, Sam had to endure Janet's teasing and Vala's veiled insults, and Daniel had placed himself in the infirmary because he twisted his ankle when he slipped on some water that Jonas had spilt (Jonas felt really bad about that, considering that that was the second time Daniel had been in the infirmary because of him or his people).
After the three days the cooking was done, and the SGC was in need of food supplies badly. In all, everyone seemed to have forgotten 'The Kiss'. At least everyone but Sam and Jack.
