Take a look at this post that explains what happens when a kid staying home sick from school finds inspiration in a Seussian cookbook.
One Sick Day + Dr. Seuss = Weird and Amazing
Whenever either of my kids shows interest in cooking anything–no matter how weird, how obscure, however ill-timed, however overly complicated (did I mention ill-timed and complicated?)–I am so excited, I’m like, “Sure, you betcha! I know it’s a weekday morning, and you have school in half an hour, but brioche sounds great!”Read the entire post here; it's an adorable and excellent reminder that sometimes creativity should trump good sense.
So, younger son, home sick for the day, begins to browse a “kid” cookbook, called The Green Eggs and Ham Cookbookby Georgeanne Brennan. “Can we make something from this?" ... leave it to Charlie to pick the most complicated recipe in the book.
Some days, you just gotta throw concerns about strict nutrition out the window and be happy. Be creative! Do something silly! Eat a cookie!

Funny-I had cookies on the brain too this week! http://officersmackhouse.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/c-is-for-cookie-or-is-it-celery/
