In the average little house on the prairie:
Measure three weeks of bone-chilling weather
Add continuous negative news feed
Grate in sporadic spousal irritation
Reduce all traces of Vitamin D
Rub dead skin cells with castor oil
Raise humidity until electrical shocks subside
Bring heating costs to a boiling point
Beat in rapid heart rate shovelling heavy snow
Crack two hips and an elbow over ice
Sift out cold and flu viruses
Sprinkle in salt and grit from unwashed car
Scrape off bumpers sliding through icy intersections
Fold in same ol’ sweaters you’ve been wearing for months
Cover in perpetual darkness and simmer
Let rise until May
Add in longer days
Brown lightly in the sun
Trim bountiful bush hair
Knead doughy winter body into shape
Garnish with daffodils, tulips, and irises
This recipe will expire in November, until we recreate it all over again!
