An important message to earth:

...I don’t have much time… I really don’t. Dear earthlings, I have found it. Finally, I have found what we’ve been looking for all these years. After traveling throughout strange lands, different matters, and meeting different people, it is a pleasure to inform you that I have finally found it in this quarantine time after all those failed experiments. Through the magic and intelligent window, a stranger told me the rules I had to follow and so I did. Let me tell you something about this treasure. You have to make your own, otherwise, it’s not going to work. I was following the rules, but something inside of me told me that something wasn’t quite right. I started mixing things up until I got the perfect mystical mixture we all have been craving for. The following are the seven (perfect number) ingredients to a whole new fantasy.

- 1 Egg

- 1 cup of milk

-1 1/2 cups of flour 

- 1 Little teaspoon of salt

- 1 Little teaspoon of sugar 

-1 little teaspoon of baking powder 

- Love (unlimited)

Now read the following steps carefully. Otherwise, the recipe is not going to work. 

First, this has to be made special for someone that you love.

Second, in a container be prepared to put an egg, all the flour, and the cup of milk. It is very important that you carry love with you all the time. Then mix these ingredients for about five minutes.

Third, put a pan to heat. 

Fourth, add the little spoon of sugar, salt, and baking powder to the mixture, and start mixing again for a minute.

Fifth, add your mix into the hot pan, but it doesn’t have to be very hot. Also, it has to be cooked at a low temperature. Make sure you put enough of the mix in the middle of the pan to form a circle.      

Sixth, when you see bubbles over the mixture, get a spatula and turn it carefully as if your life depended on it. 

Seventh, wait about a minute and see if it is completely cooked. If it is, then the first mystical and delicious (what here is called) a “Pancake" is ready to be served. Then, repeat step fourth, fifth, sixth, and seven until you have enough to share with the people you choose to make this recipe for.

And this, my dear earthlings, is the recipe for a moment of happiness, sharing something that we all love, something that you have made with the secret ingredient of love. I have found that moment when those people that I love eat what I have prepared, a moment to serve others in a simple way, but with the reward of smiles and gratitude because honestly, we all love pancakes. Don’t worry if the pancakes didn’t come out the way you wanted, just add syrup, chocolate, condensed milk, or whatever sweets you have; that will fix it. You can make whatever you want, but if you want that recipe to lead you to that mystical place of happiness, you will have to make it with love for someone that you love. Remember that there is nothing so fulfilling as something you have built yourself, or in this case cooked. 

I am out, but I hope this can work in these times of isolation as it worked for me.

Love, 

April
