1 cup of milk- Me and my little sister would race to the back of the store seeing who would find the best gallon of milk and hand off to my mom like it was a baton in a track race
1/4 cup of butter- Soupy and gooey just like a pool of sun colored ocean. You see it sink into the the bowl and over power the milk like an army of liquid. I would always dash to the microwave to pop it out and hand it to my mother and wait as she smiled to see me pour it into the giant bowl.
1/4 cup sugar- Little ice burg crystals would pile in the middle like little craters soaking up the pools of liquids. I always wanted to dive into the sugar bag and taste it all at once but my mother would laugh for the longest time when she saw me dipping my little chubby fingers into the sugar pile and take a quick taste of it all pretending I didn't see her look at me do it.
2 teaspoons yeast (one package)- Rising as a hot air balloon fills the oven around it creating little balls of yummy messy rolls I sit and watch like I was waiting for them to pop out of the oven and fly right into my watering mouth to satisfy my little tummy
1 egg- I'll always remember the day when my older brother Tony sat me down and created the craziest story on where eggs came from. Of course being 5 years old I believe everything and anything. The truth in his eyes as he told me the story swallowed me whole. He explained that when the mother hen laid her eggs a baby chick was in there, which is some part true. Ah, he began to tell me that once I crack open the eggs baby chicks were going to fly out of the eggs and try to eat me since I almost tried to cook them. I was so horrified and scared I never wanted to crack open a little egg for as long as I lived
1 teaspoon salt- I have to say I was never a huge fan of salt growing up. I always hated when people poured on the heart attack spice and never asked for it even on my french fries. Just a few years ago my taste buds had re arranged and I openly started taste testing around with the magic crystals that most Americans love and enjoy
3-1/2
cups flour- Me and my cousin Emily were always looking for something creative to get ourselves into when we were younger. My aunt Marie (her mom) makes the worlds best chocolate chip cookies in the world and one day when I came over for a sleepover she wanted to bake cookies with me and Emily. So my aunt left the room to grab something and me and my cousin started dipping out hands in the flower just testing the feeling and I made the courageous move of wiping my dirty white finger on her shirt. I believe it started the World War 3 in the creamy yellow kitchen as too it turned into a winter wonderland. We attacked each other in the battle field of cloudy fog until the shrieking of Aunt Marie busting into the room yelling " WHAT IS GOING ON?!". We all started bursting out laughing and I'll never forget the day.
Cream cheese frosting- Cream cheese has always been such a great thing in my world. I absolutely adore cream cheese frosting its actually my favorite kind. The way it oozes out of the clear package makes my whole mouth crave the whole package and just want to drink it, as crazy as that may sound!
