This was an assignment we had to do for the creative writing group we have once a week here. The objective was to pick a word, an emotion or a thing, that helps describe how we are feeling, want to feel, or don’t want to feel, and write recipe for it. Here is mine…

LIFE HONEY PIE

(Thats a sweet slice of life, Honey!)

1. Start with a pie plate that has patterned edges to give the pie rim some fun texture.

2. Lay the pre-prepared store-bought uncooked crust in the plate so that it forms to the dish. We use this because, with so many other activities to enjoy in the world there just isn’t enough time to make the dough from scratch.

3. As an added secret bonus sift some sweet powdered confectioner’s laughter over the empty crust before putting it in the oven to bake.

4. While the shell is baking you want to mix the filling in a medium-size bicycle helmet. (The helmet adds a hint of adventurous flair to the ingredients.)

Filling Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sliced raspberries soaked in a sympathy marinade
  • 1 cup blueberry amore puree
  • 1 cup mandarin hope segments
  • 1 tsp dry crushed irony
  • 2 tbsp Karo family syrup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar friends
  • 1 tsp fresh cream of the past
  • 1 tbsp softened butter of the future

5. Once these have all been mixed pour them into the crust evenly. The crust  should be out of the oven and cooled for a minimum of 10 minutes by now.

6. Place pie back in the oven for another 15 minutes and relax with your favorite pastime and a mug of cocoa as the tantalizing pie scent drifts through your kitchen.

7. When the pie is done baking let it cool for a final half hour while you wander outside and admire the nature around your home.

8. Top your pie with whipped understanding and sprinkle equal parts cinnamon reality and spiced imagination generously over the cream.

9. Serve immediately on neon-colored plastic frisbee dishes with a small scoop of iced faith.

10. Lastly drizzle your desired amount of glistening, amber, sweet, sticky honey over it all and dig in!

Easy as pie in just 10 steps!
