How to Bake a Planet

First warm the oven – dust

and prepare a suitable work surface.

Sauté all ingredients in lava, allowing

the mixture to thicken and harden

into a crust of pasta-like sheets.

Use rainwater to make stock,

adding seaweed, kale – boil

and cool repeatedly. Simmer.

Meanwhile, gather fresh greens,

bone the fish, marinate the meat in

juices from sun-ripened fruits, whole grains,

nuts, garlic to taste – pour liquid over

dish until it almost drowns.

Increase heat gradually, stirring continuously.

Flambé the mushrooms!

Throw everything into a sealed container

with generous lashings of crude oil.

Set timer –

bake indefinitely...

(Drink a glass of wine, watch a movie, disaster ones are best).

Remove contents,

add a final pinch of salt –

serve chilled.
