Today, I have been enlightened to the most awesome thing in the world. It is a simple recipe that makes a wonderful creation: awesome. The recipe is:

1. 1 part water
2. 2 parts cornstarch

That's it. Try mixing it with your hands, that's even better. I'll leave it to you to discover why it's so awesome. (don't eat, please!

Also, I did promise Meredith a choco chip cookie recipe with directions, so here you go:

1 c. sugar 1 teaspoon salt
1 c. brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla 1 bag of chocolate chips,
1 c. real butter or other items (like chopped nuts, raisins, coconut, 3 c. flour or any combination of the above) 1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix together the sugars, eggs, vanilla, and butter (when measuring the brown sugar, press it to pack it down [it should be molded into the shape of your measuring cup]). Mix until creamy and smooth. Sift the flour into a bowl and measure into 3 cups, while still keeping it fluffy (don't flatten), and put in a larger bowl with the salt, baking powder, and baking soda (make sure to keep the flour fluffy and light through the whole process of measuring and mixing). Add that mixture to the cream mixture. Add the chocolate chips or combo. Take two normal spoons and scoop the dough in one, and use the second to scoop onto ungreased cookie sheet in even clumps. Bake at 350 degrees for 11 minutes. The cookies will still look doughy and uncooked, but when they cool, they'll be delicious!

This recipe makes enough for a person for a few days, or a few people for a day, depending on how much you eat. You can double it to make more. I'll give you a rough idea of how it makes: with the amount given, all the Chelaks plus the Core Four ate it in about a day. With double this amount, it could last those people for two or three days.
