Ting-a-lings

Ingredients:  One box of flake cereal (my preference, Wheaties)

     One 12 ounce bag of chocolate chips (my preference being               
           the semi-sweet. dark chocolate, special dark chocolate)

Preparation:  Put wax paper on a couple cookie trays and make

     sure a space is cleared in the refrigerator to place the trays             
           in, once the cookies are made.

                                                                                                                  
         [You'll need a fairly large casserole dish, a large zip-lock                   
         bag, a measuring cup, a regular teaspoon, and preferably a rolling pin.]

     Begin:  Measure out 6 cups of uncrushed flakes into the zip-lock bag. 
          Use the rolling pin (or the palm of your hand) to crush the flakes. 
          Crush them into fine pieces, but not into dust.                                                                                                                                                                                                              

          Empty the 12 ounces of chocolate chips into the casserole dish, 
          and heat them on medium power for a minute in the microwave.                                                                                                                                     
          Take them out and stir (if you can), then place back into the 
          microwave for a minute and a half. Take the dish out and stir 
          immediately. Then add the entire bag of crushed flakes. 
          Stir thoroughly, as if you were mixing cement and gravel (special note for men).

                                    Take a regular teaspoon or a measuring spoon, and scoop up 
                                    that portion to place on the cookie sheet. (By the way,
                                    hopefully you've already washed your hands, and don't 
                                    lick your fingers until after you are done.) 
                                   Then place the filled cookie sheets in the refrigerator.

                               The laborer's appetizer: You've done the work, now you can lick the bowl.

                              The experience: When the cookies harden, you can stack them 
                                    in another container, as not to take up as much space. 
                                    And of course, you eat some …that will take up even less space. 
                                    But restraint is the key! Always leave enough in the bowl to be served to others.

   The real experience: Psalm 119:103-105, "How sweet are thy words unto my taste! 
          Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth. Through thy precepts I get understanding: 
          therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

***serve others with His truth and they will be truly served ***
