Destroying the Kitchen
with
Marcus
Today Marcus will be making a new creative dish, Brown Sugar Cocoa Noodles! To prepare the brown sugar-cocoa mixture, go to the kitchen in the morning (You really want to have at least five or six hours for the mixture to sit.) while your mom is in the shower and dump some cocoa powder in the brown sugar crock. Be sure to leave the cocoa box on the counter so your mom finds it when she comes downstairs to get everyone rounded up so she and your dad can go to a funeral. This next step is one of the most important in the whole recipe: say, "Sah-vee" in a very sweet voice when your mom yells, "Marcus Christopher Jacks, this is not your kitchen! You need to stay out of my kitchen!" That apology is what is going to make your mom trust you enough to put on a movie in the afternoon so she can take a nap to give you a chance to finish the dish.
After the sugar and cocoa gets a chance to sit, get out a bowl of leftover plain spaghetti noodles that your mom usually puts cheese on for your lunch. Place it on the floor and dump your sugar-cocoa mixture on top of it. Keep a cupcake pan handy, just in case you might need it, but place it on the floor upside down (this is very important!) to, uh, keep it clean. Have your mom move the bowl to the counter before she thinks to take pictures, and enlist her help in trying to salvage your ingredients before throwing them away.
Place the sugar-cocoa mixture in a 9 x 13 inch pan, and mix it up with a fork. Smile for the camera when your mom takes a picture, and then yell, "Me? Me!" after every picture.
Once the sugar and cocoa powder is sufficiently mixed, dump it in an extra bowl and spread the spaghetti noodles into the pan. Look cute.
Spread the sugar-cocoa mixture on top of the noodles, cover in plastic wrap, and cook in the microwave for a few minutes.
Enjoy, and throw away the leftovers. Really. You're going to be the only person in your family to take more than one bite.
