Starsky should be careful what he asks Hutch for.

 

This was a personal challenge to write a scene using no more than 3 words per line. If you’d like to see a picture and the recipe for what inspired this piece of fluff, you can see it here. I’ve never made the recipe. I’m not a vegetarian. And, I don’t own that website. So, I’m not endorsing anything! Consume at your own risk. Hutch would be proud of you, I’m sure.

Thanks, Hutch.

For what?

Invitin’ me over.

You wanted dinner.

Yeah! Home cooking!

For you? Anything.

And I’m starved!

Voila!

What is that?

What’s what, Starsk?

That!

Our dinner, dummy.

You’re joking, right?

Nope.

Hutch, that’s gross!

No, it’s delicious.

Chunky, green glop?

Don’t like casseroles?

Made of what?

Good, healthy stuff.

Like dog barf?

Well, it’s chunky.

It’s partly kale.

Blech.

Don’t tell me.

It’s good, Starsk.

You promised dinner!

This is dinner.

Wanted real food.

Okay, one bite.

So, Starsk?
