Anatomy of A Recipe

The following information is not meant to be a representation of the truth.  It IS the truth.  Any resemblance to actual individuals, living or dead, is purely intentional.  The names have been changed to protect the innocent…and the not so innocent.

 

“Miss!!  There’s no ¾ cup measuring cup.  Can I use a 1/3 cup measure 3 times instead?”

 

“Hey!  Our cookie dough is all soupy!  That’s whacked!! Yes, we did what the recipe said.  It called for softened butter, so we put it in the microwave for 3 minutes.”

 

“Hurry up and lick all your cookies – then we won’t have to share them with the rest of our team cause they won’t want them after you lick ‘em!”

 

“Miss!  Do you know that in some countries they eat BULL DICKS???”

 

“What do you mean when you say it’s a broiler pan?  We can still cook our cookies in it!”

 

“uh-oh.  Quick….before she comes over here………”

 

“The recipe says to mix with a wooden spoon.  What should we use to mix it with?”

 

“Miss Wolf…how come there’s smoke coming out of the oven?”

“This dough is all crumbly.  We did JUST what the recipe said.  It says “Reduce flour to ½ cup and add ¼ cup cocoa powder.”  So we put in an extra ½ cup of flour and then put in a half cup of cocoa – just like the recipe said!”

 

“Which part of the egg is the yolk – the yellow part or the white part?”

“I can still eat it – 3 second rule!  It was only on the floor for 2 seconds!”

 

“Ummmm….No. I don’t know how I got that flour handprint on my face.  No.  I don’t know how she got a flour handprint on her butt either.”

 

“What do you mean we can’t start over….again!?”

 

So, gentle readers…how was YOUR Day?

Well, my day was not too great. I got home at 10:15 this evening and discovered that one, or possibly five, of my greyhounds had chewed open a full bottle of fish oil capsules and eaten every one of them and then proceeded to pee in every single room of my house and on every single one of their dog beds. My sister-the-vet says, “Expect tons of diarrhea.” That was my day! I’ll trade ya!

I followed up a note on someone’s diary to get here – have forgotten whose;sorry !- and just had to lesve a note to say thank you for reminding me why I like retirement so much! (No, teaching has its moments – and you’ve just recorded some of them very faithfully, I suspect!)

Just wanted you to know that reading your posts is great fun. You are a skillful writer and a delightful observer of life. Your writing reminds me of Erma Bombeck but you do it your way and it is a joy to read. I hope you are cultivating this talent of yours and maybe thinking of a book. Ms. Bombeck left a giant hole with her untimely demise and I suspect you could make a space there for yourself.

October 27, 2004

And here I’ve always worked under the 5 second rule…
