Ingredients:
Grandma’s kitchen
1 cup of flour
1 cup of sugar
1 tbs. of favorite
cousin’s smile
2 bags of Nestle’s
semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup of Grandpa’s
familiar, rich pipe tobacco that permeated the house every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
2 tbs. of vanilla extract
1 cup of Mom’s
congratulatory-hug on the ‘A’ you got on your essay the week before.
3 eggs
1 cup of Dad’s teaching
you how to throw a Frisbee
½ cup canola oil
4 oz. of your big brother
standing between you and the school-bully who pulled your hair when
no one was looking.
1 4x6 picture of you and
your best friend going out trick-or-treating by yourselves for the first time.
Combine ingredients in
your late, great-grandmother’s chipped, antique mixing bowl with the family-crest on the
bottom, and beat until you’re exhausted.
Pour in Mom’s old, blackened baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees until she sticks her head out the back-yard door, where
you’re on the tire-swing, and yells, “It’s done!!”
