Exercise #174: Brainstorm Posted 8/23/06
You might have seen this recipe, as it’s been passed around in various versions for a long time:
Recipe for Peace by author unknown
1 cup of friendship 1/2 cup of hope 2 cups of love 5 tbsp of respect 1/2 cup of kindness 1 cup of joy 3 tsp of understanding 1 1/2 cups honesty
Mix friendship, love, and kindness in a large bowl. Add understanding a few drops at a time. Then stir in honesty and joy for good firm dough. Sprinkle half of respect over it and mix well. Pour into a cake pan and bake at 350̊F. When it is ready pour the hope and the rest of respect on top and share with everyone you know.
For today’s exercise, create a new recipe. Give us the ingredients and directions, and tell us what we’ll be creating if we follow them. If you wish, you may write a piece where a character finds, uses, or shares your recipe as an example. If you really can’t come up with a recipe of your own, you may use this one for your example (this recipe has 103 words).
Note the modified word limits.
