Cake

1. Decide to clean out freezer because children fishing for ice cream and yogurt tubes may be injured by tumbling containers.
2. Alert to plastic bag of frozen, granulated, homemade cookie crumbs (Why? I am Cuisinart, therefore I cuise).
3. Because, in twenty minutes a four-year-old must be fetched from school, do not, under any circumstances, measure. Reuse bowls and spatulas from egg white-whipping pursuant to quiche, without washing. Beat one cup of egg whites into soft, undulating, ethereal peaks.
4. Because aforesaid crumbs (see #2, above) are unidentifiable, add half a fist of brown sugar, a wink of baking powder, and a jigger of flour.
5. Because aforesaid crumbs (again, see #2, above) are largely unidentifiable, add a dash of cocoa powder, four squares of chocolate meant for eating out of hand. Smear chocolate on palms carelessly in the process of breaking them.
6. Because they have been in the refrigerator longer than initially planned, pistachios should now be added, but not so many as to frighten the intended audience. Note to self: pistachios, due to their pigmentation and health benefits as a member of the Nut Family, belong to the vegetable echelon (read: basement) of the food pyramid.
7. Fold with presence of mind (Cf. #3) until mixture is amalgamated.
8. Bake at 325 degrees in a 7" glass pyrex tart plate only after aforesaid four-year-old has been successfully retrieved and deposited safely in the kitchen.
