Bless your heart for posting this recipe where I would find it today!!! Now, after a good chuckle, I can return to enjoying my two "helpers" with a renewed sense of humor and a fresh smile on my face. After calling the bakery and lying down, of course!

This "recipe" certainly deserves a picture. I'll have to try to shoot an appropriate one.
