To fry a heart—

Hold it
with one hand.
Tap it gently,
create a crack.
Use both thumbs.
Insert your thumbs
into the crack
and gently pull
it apart,
drop the contents
into a hot pan.

2. To whip a mind—

Chill the
watery liquid,
start pouring slowly.
Begin whipping.
Be mindful
to prevent
splattering.

Increase speed:
soft peaks
will start to form.
Watch closely:
when it
gently folds over,
stop.

For stiff peaks, whip'
to straighten out
without collapsing.
Sweeten
if desired.

Don’t over-whip—
it will
turn to
butter.

3. To bake a body—

Combine
the dry parts,
add water and mix
until a sticky
dough forms.

Knead
hard.

Leave her
in a warm place,
until she doubles
in size.

Let her rise.
Then turn her out
on a flat surface
and shape her.

Let her rest,
then bake her
'til she’s golden
and sounds hollow
when tapped.

Let her
cool down.
She is
ready
to serve.
