Oven the past week the boys and I having been making gluten-free treats for the holidays. Tonight we made mint merengue cookies with chocolates. Although we needed only the egg whites for the cookies, Spencer did not want me to waste the yolks. I put the yolks into a separate bowl for Spencer. He got busy. He was in and out of the pantry adding things to the bowl. Eventually Spencer's focused attention drew in Michael as well. They continued the food project together, crushing things in plastic bags, adding a pinch of this, a handful of that. After I finished the cookies (by myself) and put them into the oven, I agreed to fry up the eggs. Spencer sampled the finished product and declared it good (even when I questioned him repeatedly on how that was possible). The boys were (are) very cute. They started talking about making the recipe again - first asking if we could do it in the morning. No. Well certainly before Christmas? Maybe. They want to make it without gluten next time (next time?) so that Michael and I can try it. They recorded the recipe on paper (so they will not forget it). They came up with a name for the recipe, the "MS Concoction." They decided that we should make the MS Concoction on halloween and feed it to the kids (or "customers" as they called them) who came to our door (at least to the kids who do not have a nut allergy). Here is the list of ingredients:
egg yolk
water
graham crackers (optional)
cheesy rice quakes, crumbled
peanuts, crushed
sunflower seeds
brown sugar
cheese powder
cinnamon
basil
oregano
rosemary
salt
vanilla extract
peppermint extract
green food coloring*
* In future they would like to try different colors
