You've probably all heard the old-fashioned rhymes about children: girls are made of "sugar and spice and everything nice" while boys are made of "rats and snails and puppy-dog tails."Well, we're not so sure about that, but it can be fun to imagine what kinds of things would be included in a recipe to make you. What ingredients are required (and are they physical things or more abstract ideas)? What kinds? How many? Is there any cooking, whipping, tossing, stirring, basting, or chopping involved? Write a recipe for one "you."
