Could someone please come up with a recipe so that we have a reason to leave this picture here? This picture speaks to me in so many ways, that I keep having to go back and forth to the other blog to enjoy it.Isn't there like some SuperHero Cookie recipe out there or SOMETHING? Some recipe on how to make Kriptanite or something?
-----------------------------------
Mother of the Superhero jumping in here… I was trying to come up with a recipe for SuperSomething when it finally occurred to me I should go directly to the source. So I asked Super Amanda, "What do Superheroes eat?" And she said, "Superhero Stuff" (I'm not sure but I would swear that as she answered, she shot me one of those looks… you know the look that she will spend the next 13 or so years perfecting…the look that says, parents can be SO DUMB sometimes). "Oh yeah, of course, Superhero Stuff. Can you give me the recipe for that?" I asked.
To which she replied, "Sure Mommy!!! What's a recipe?" So then she told me. But as she listed the ingredients and I asked her how much or how many she was rather vague. Or she would say, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9,10… 4!" like she was trying to trick me. I'm afraid that either she doesn't know the exact recipe because she's one of those cooks who just throws in a little of this and a little of that and it comes out just perfect or she doesn't actually want me to know how to make Superhero Stuff. You know, since I'm a mere mortal and all. So make this at your own risk. There's no guarantee it will be as good as the stuff the superheroes eat.
Superhero Stuff
A lot of macaroni
10 peas (optional*)
Chicken
Some corn
Sausage
One piece of pepperoni pizza
4 trees (broccoli)
Get a foon. Get a bowl. Put it all in together. Get the salt and get the pepper. Shake.
*I told Amanda that Aunt Darin doesn't like peas and asked her if there was something we could use instead. She said, "Hmm. I don't think I want any peas in my food either. But what are we going to do with the peas?" As I looked around at my currently pea-free windowsills, I said, "I don't know, but please don't ask Aunt Darin."
Superhero Buzzert
11 marshmallows
A lot of chocolate
5 M&Ms
6 lollipops (lollipops are good – any flavor)
Like 88 Reeses peanut butter cups
All the boxes of chocolate ice cream at the store… like five!
Put it together in a really, really big bowl. Don't forget to take the paper off the lollipops. Eat it with a fork or foon.
When I asked Amanda what Superheroes drink, she said, "Water. They drink water. They don't ever drink chocolate milk but I do. Can I have some chocolate milk, Mommy?"

OK, Dione, I'm sorry you have to witness this since you are anxious about the next 13 years of Amanda perfecting her "uh--DUH Mom" look...but somebody has to say it:
Mom (Darin), WHY ON EARTH (Or any other planet) would you WANT to have a RECIPE FOR KRYPTONITE??? Kryptonite is BAD!!!!!!! Maybe a recipe for curing you of the bad effects of kryptonite...but that would be an "antidote" not a "recipe" now wouldn't it? Whatever--this blog isn't about recipes anyway--it is about anecdotes, and thats close enough to "antidote" for me. Just what I need when i'm having a bummer day: check out the nelson sisters blog--always sure to make me smile :)
Ok, I'm done spieling. Now, to business.
WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE REVEAL THE ANTIDOTE FOR KRYPTONITE? I'm really curious. :)
COLLEGE KIDS (parental eyes rolling)...they think they know EVERYTHING. Re: WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE REVEAL THE ANTIDOTE FOR KRYPTONITE?
Duh, it's "Superhero Buzzert." If you haven't figured out by now that Chocolate is the antidote for Everything, including Kryptonite, then the next generation is in trouble.
