So everyone that knows me knows that my biggest weakness as a "domestic goddess" is my lack of cooking ability. In an effort to improve my recent poor performance (read: Digiorno pizza fest) I decided to read up on some new recipes. I turned to The Catholic Daughters cook book from St. Theresa's in Sugar Land. My mother in law gave it to me for mothers day this year (thank you again Jan!). As I combed through the pages this week however, I discovered that the creation of this cookbook had absolutely nothing to do with cooking but everything to do with showing off the recipe that you and only you have the skills necessary to make. For example a recipe for dark chocolate pecan brownies would look something like this:
Mix the ingredients as follows:
* 4 cups and one pinch Flour ((hand ground and made of pure organic wheat (see page 558 for instructions))
*1 and 1/4 cups sugar (Take the tour of the Imperial Sugar Factory down the road, it takes about 35 free packets of sugar...its fresher straight from the source)
*2 cups butter (It is best when freshly whipped from a jersey dairy cow, if no cow available in your back yard try your local farmers market)
*3 robins eggs (Only available from April to July they are best when freshly laid)
*25 Suzie's Dark Chocolate Delights (page 75 for recipe)
Mix all ingredients in a glass bowl. Stir counterclockwise for ten minutes then clockwise for three and one half turns. Place in a dutch oven for thirty-five minutes, rotating every seven minutes. These brownies are delicious with homemade mocha frosty cranberry ice cream (recipe on page 89).
Are these women serious?? Did they ever have children? I would like to join Catholic Daughters one day and enter my own recipe for brownies:

Yum...now we are talking! Brownies anyone?
