Kindergarten Recipes

I recently moved and found in a box that has remained packed since 1997... this little wonder:

One day in Kindergarten we were asked what we would like to cook for our mothers on Mother's Day. A bunch of sixth graders came in to transcribe our ad lib recipes and this was the result:

Big Pizza
Not just any pizza..

It is essential to eat a very lot of it.

Cookies
Nobody taught us how to cook yet!

I think she was shy.

Chicken David
Fun trivia: David was known as the Jewish kid, which we knew meant he didn't have Christmas and there was some talk of what kosher meant. I grew up thinking 'Chicken David' was some sort of kosher chicken dish with no chicken in it.

Note the lack of chicken, and the amazing spelling abilities of our sixth grade friends.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
I think you put the brown sugar in after you cook it.

Four entire chocolate chips and don't even think about skimping.

More Cookies
Bake 15 minutes by Tony

ONE CUP OF SALT

Even More Baked Goods
Note the half-erased 'mustard' and 'pepper' at the bottom. Kenny thought about being funny, but was afraid he would get in trouble.

I suppose if you have chocolate bread on hand, you're more than half way to brownies. I'm not sure what is going on in Kenny's cookies.

Lunch
I guess her mom made shitty cookies so she wanted to be certain that this was going to be a good cookie, like from the store.

Susan cared enough to plan mother a whole lunch. Mix up those greedience! Once again we find bread making an essential appearance in the baked goods ingredients list. And it's not just any cookie, it's a store cookie.

Soup
Save a step: I think the blender would mix it up for you.

I don't know if Gabriel is an ingredient or not, but be sure to add plenty of soup to the soup.

Nut Cake + Cup Cakes

Nut Cake sounds dirty. I do like the way this kid thinks though... icing up that cornbread -- no cooking required!

Cookies (Again)
Do you cook them?

Kindergartners love cookies! I think Clay's making scrambled eggs here though.

Fruit Cake
I think this guy died a while ago in a drunken boating accident where they didn't have life vests.

This is the only kid who really got it I think. I laughed at it then, and I'm laughing at it now.

Bonus points to anyone who cooks any of these. I'm going to have a nice milkwater cookie right now...
