4th of July Recipe

Happy 4th of July readers! Tonight is generally a time of revelry and celebration. Across your city, unknowing of the zombie hoard that could quite possibly be lurking behind the 7-11, citizens of America will be drinking copious amounts of beer, barbequing trunk loads of red meat, and thoughtlessly wasting precious explosives (here in Oakland they will be wasting bucket loads of ammunition).

In honor of the 4th of July I offer my readers a new recipe. If when you wake tomorrow morning the world is covered in post-apocalypse ash, know that you still have hope!

Awesome Ashcakes!

Ingredients:
Flour
* Water
* Twig
Coals from 4th of July barbeque

* For water you can substitute the dregs from the bottom of 3 or 4 beer bottles. For twigs you can substitute the sticks from Corn Dogs.

Directions:
With twig, mix small amount of water (2 or 3 tablespoons) with flour
Use hands to flatten out dough ball into pancake shape.
Throw onto coals of fire.
Turn as necessary to keep from burning.
Let cool.
Eat.

If your guests were nice enough to leave behind scraps on their plates you can also make Awesome Ashcake Turnovers! Simply take whatever ingredients you can find (left over pie pieces, half eaten hot dogs, mustard smears), add to the flattened dough ball, pinch the edges, and throw it all on the coals.
