A/N: Double drabble and a half, 250 words.





Buffy and Cordelia were looking their best for the Homecoming Dance; they both had on new dresses bought specifically for the occasion, their hair was elegantly styled, and their makeup flawless. They’d gone all out since this would be their last Homecoming; they were seniors and would be graduating before long. Not that they wouldn’t have gotten themselves all dressed up anyway, but perhaps they’d put a little extra effort into their preparations. Nothing wrong with looking all pretty.


Or there wouldn’t have been under other circumstances, but if Buffy had known they’d be abducted and dumped in the woods outside Sunnydale she would have at least made sure to tuck a few choice weapons in her purse.


Slayer Fest, that’s what the guy in the recorded message had said. People, and things that were both less and more than people, were somewhere out there hunting them, and how was that even fair?


Then again, demons, vampires and such weren’t known for their sense of fair play so she shouldn’t be surprised. What did surprise her was that the idiots had somehow mistaken Cordelia for Faith. Losers!


Well, Buffy wasn’t giving up without a fight. Circumstances, and present company, might not be ideal but no way was she letting anyone get the better of her, and if her new dress got ruined in the process there was gonna be hell to pay. It hadn’t been cheap!


She and Cordy were gonna take out the hunters and still make the dance!

Oh, really? Well, I never stick to the exact measurements of a recipe, once I'm sure what works best.:)

I think the recipe mum had said a quarter teaspoon of mixed spice so mum used a couple of dessert spoonfuls *grins* Bread pudding should be spicy!

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

That sounds about right.*tempted*

I'm use to using cinnamon spice for cakes and the like.:)

Cinnamon is part of what's in ground mixed spice, but there's other stuff as well though I couldn't say what.

You should try it. You soak stale bread in water, squeeze out the excess water, stir in spice and raisins or other dried fruit... I think there might be some sort of binding agent used as well, maybe egg? Can't remember but you can look up the ingredients and oven temperature online. Grease a pyrex dish, smush the mixture firmly down into it, then bake in a pre-heated over. After it's done, cut a slice and serve with hot custard. I can be frozen too, just wrap each piece in foil and bung it in the freezer. Keeps really well and can be re-heated in the microwave.

Wow. Thanks for the information. I have made a note of it.:)

[bk_forever]

I'm just going from memory so you might want to look up a recipe online, I'm sure I'm forgetting ingredients, possibly sugar...

There something called bread and butter pudding too, but that's quite different and in my opinion, nowhere near as good as a proper bread pudding.

Okay. Your feedback will make things easier for me, while I research. I appreciate the tips:)
