Have You Seen Any Signs Of Brilliance Lately? **Frankenstein

We were looking at what was in the meat section at the grocery store today and we bought something because it looked pretty good and it was on sale. It was just raw meat and it already had everything mixed into it to make it a meatloaf. I don't know why but I happened to glance at the label tonight just before cooking it and the directions said very simply, "Cook until done." That's all it said. I'm thanking God right now that they saw the need to put that on there because if they hadn't I wouldn't have had a clue about what to do with it. I probably would have just eaten it like it was. I love the freedom that they gave me so that I could fix it any way I wanted to. I'm cooking part of it by packing a little bit of it in a thimble one thimble at a time and holding it over a candle. I've decided to bake the rest of it under the sun tomorrow. I'm going to make it a cool, little tent out of aluminum foil and put a radio nearby for it to listen to. I'm going to write to the company and ask them for some information on the guy who wrote those brilliant cooking directions. If he's written any books, I've just got to read them. I don't know if it's the same person but I did a search and I think that some of the books I found could be by him. I found the following, "Cook Until Done," "Cook Until Raw: The Sequal," "Don't Cook At All And Say That You Did," "Cook, Cook And Then Cook Some More" and "Mommy, Why Did You Kill Us By Not Cooking Until Done?"

The directions were so profound, I'm beginning to wonder if I even read them right. When I read, 'cook until done,' I just assumed that it meant to cook the meatloaf until it was done because it was it's label that it said that on. What if I was wrong? What if it was speaking in a more general way? What if it just meant for me to cook it until I got tired of cooking it and decided that I was done cooking it? Could that be? Could it have meant that maybe I should just cook anything until I was done? Wait a minute. What if whatever it is isn't done but I'm tired so I'm done cooking it? Then I'd have something that I had cooked until I was done doing so and some raw meatloaf. Even that sounds pretty good right now. Man! I never knew that meatloaf could be so confusing.

I don't know what you've bought lately but when you read the directions, did you see any signs of brilliance?
