I can't remember much about pre-k or kindergarten, but what I can remember is distinct, and of those memories are ones of dictating stories to a class aide with a typewriter for various projects. While creating the art portion of a project, my classmates and I would get called into the hallway one by one by Miss Maryann, who would type everything we said for the written portion of the project (the best example I can remember was being asked to recite an original Mother's Day poem to accompany a handprint flower masterpiece, which still hangs in my mom's basement).
Although the time of the typewriter is mostly in the past, a pre-k class of today was tasked with writing (read: dictating) 'recipes' for a class cookbook, and you can basically hear the toddler in the hysterical computer-printed transcriptions.
Shared by Jordan Adams, the uncle of one of the kids in the class, each recipe includes cooking times, ingredients and where to buy them, and instructions — and they're all pretty much downhill from the recipe names on. 'My nephew Ethan's pre-k class made a cookbook, and all the kids had to come up with all the recipes,' schreef Jordan op Twitter . 'Zo veel beter dan ik me had kunnen voorstellen.'
'Smeer er niets op, want zo maak je eieren, met niets.'
Ethan, de neef van Jordan, had misschien wel het meest aparte recept. Het recept heet 'Ethan's Eggs' en vereist pannenkoeken, suiker en kegels, die je bij Texas Roadhouse voor $ 3 kunt kopen - en hoewel het een uur duurt om de eieren klaar te maken, is de kooktijd slechts twee seconden.
'Eerst doe je de pannenkoeken en dan de suiker, en dat is alles', instrueert Ethan. 'Je kunt het koken, maar je kunt ook naar mijn huis gaan en ik zal je eieren geven, want mijn moeder maakt altijd eieren. Je kunt ze met een lepel eten. Doe er niets op, want zo maak je eieren, met niets.'
Als dat geen ontluikende culinaire uitmuntendheid is, weet ik het ook niet meer.
