How about another recipe? This one is for all of us who are feeling sorry for ourselves for whatever reason; however, I especially dedicate it to all of us educators bracing for pay cuts.

Poor Me Pie
1 cup of tear drops to wet the inside of a dry bowl
- Mash one $50,000 home equity loan statement used to pay for your kids education into a fine pulp
- Shred a $5,000 credit card bill from all of your business tries into fine strips and add
- Pour in 3 cups of “Worry All Night about Finances” and stir vigorously
- Apply 2 tbsp. of the paste to closed eyelids and try to take a nap while the mixture settles
In one hour:
Bake at 500 degrees while standing over the oven door cracked open so as to incite a fumin and a fussin frenzy. Dance wildly around the kitchen screaming out frustrations.
