Recipe Book

Here's some recipes I put together for my cousin Becky when she bought her first house. She doesn't like to cook. She came out to visit me once and I was going to make Mexican food and she said, "I can make guacamole, I know how to make guacamole". So, we buy all the ingredients and she proceeds to tell me how to make it. Hence the recipe title and instructions. The rest are family favorites...

Uncle Kenny's "I Don't Do Low Carb" Brownies

I've misplaced this recipe, but the title was still cute!

Tooth Number 8 (and 9)

Tooth Number 8, Tooth Number 8
You made us wait and wait and wait

Emmy would cry and then boo-hoo
While you took your time to come on through

But now it seems she's feeling fine
Oh wait, I feel Tooth Number 9

Tooth Number 9, Tooth Number 9
You make our daughter cry and whine

And cling to mommy for dear life
Oh the pain, Oh the strife

Will you come quick or make us wait?
Like your friend Tooth Number 8

When you are through, she'll feel good again
Until, that is, Tooth Number 10
