To me, "fix a meal" or "fix a drink" sounds a little old-fashioned, but not weird.
I've been trying to quit using "gonna" and "oughta." A lot of the math department is foreign-born, and I always get blank looks when I use one of those.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

try saying, "yeah, but" in front of a Russian. I'm not sure what it means but from the snickers it's clearly something dirty.
I'm more likely to offer to fix someone a drink than to fix them some dinner.

No fire tonight. I count that as a win. I think I'll go to bed now.
I thought that you said that there wasn't going to be a fire . . .

Ugh. Slept all day, and now having trouble getting to sleep now. Better got to sleep soon, though, because I've got to be up at 9 tomorrow.

I would swear when I lived in Houston, (where you find people from all the world, and all over the South) I met people who used "Y'all" to mean second person singular, and "all Y'all" to mean second person plural. Maybe it is a regional difference? (Not a Houston regional difference, but used that way somewhere?)

eek! My roomie just texted he has $10 to his name and he doesn't come home until Thursday night. I still think broke in Hawaii is better than not in Hawaii at all.

I just made a dorm-style wine cooler with pinot noir. It was fixing to turn. (See that sounds quaint) It's actually not bad.

My Mom is nutty. My sister just told her that she told her husband he is no longer invited to family gatherings where Mom or I will be there. Mom replied, "are you sure? Let me talk this over with Liz." Gah! Of course you're sure you crazy woman! You loathe this guy as much as I do.
Congratulations?
