Recipe

How to Bake a Breakup:

Ingredients:
Broken heart
Numb brain
Water

Prep Time: Depends on the maker, and the relationship

Steps:
1.  Break heart into little pieces. Place in medium sized mixing bowl.
      Be numb from shock.
2. Add water.
   Cry your eyes out.
3. Mix heart and water together. 
     After you've wrung every tear out of you,  go to sleep exhausted.
4. Chill overnight. Re-read recipe.
    Be confused. Ask yourself why you broke up. Is it a horrible nightmare you can't wake up from? (Is it just that you forgot the salt, and that's why it tastes so nearly inedible?)
5.  Realize you mixed the heart and water in wrong proportions.
    Be despondent. Wail in frustration. Tell yourself you'll never find another who takes care of you so well, or that there was someone better for you anyway. Add a sniff and foot stamp and if you are really feeling adventurous, add a few ounces of self-pity.
6. Turn on the oven to "bake" and the proper setting. (It won't be 350 degrees for every person). As the oven preheats, stew and plan and reanalyze every little thing you each said in the last few days before the breakup.
7. Re-read the recipe. Repeat steps 2-6 over and over, to varying degrees.

When you have the mixture just about right, dump the heart and water mixture into a casserole dish and bake until hardened. Bake times very depending on how finicky the oven is and if you like it chewy or hard.

Note: Best served room temperature. Please limit servings. And serving size....
