Chocolate Chip Code

I was making chocolate chip cookies with a new recipe from a book I found in the attic. It was a weird recipe with numbers after each word and symbols after each sentence. I couldn’t figure out why but it got me wondering, how old was this recipe book? I finished baking the cookies and they turned out well. I went back up to the attic and saw more symbo;s on the roof beams and the floor and walls....

UNIT L

Whilst I’ve been contacted by the Agency through many abnormal ways before , this… this was new.

It has been a few months since my last contract.

The recipe indicated it was writing by a ‘Miss A Lodger.’ To the common eye this would just be a name , but this actually meant ‘ Mississippi Agency Unit L’ which is where I trained in my younger years. I was told by another agent this Unit was decommiss...

The Code

‘Three cups of “st”’

What? What’s st?

I read the next ingredient.

The rest was like this,

‘Four ounces of “ai”

One cup of “do”

10 tablespoons of “d_”

Seven minutes of “th”

Nine cups of “be”

Five ounces of “rs”

Two teaspoons of “wn”

Eight handfuls of “e_”’



A couple weeks later I’m in my mansion. The treasure was easy to find once I knew th...

Alive 🫴

The only noises in the house are the blades of the fan whirring and soapy water washing the dishes in the dishwasher. I stare at my phone and let out a long sigh. I set it next to me on the couch and scan the room for a blanket or a robe, suddenly freezing. I find my khaki robe and quickly put it on over my covered-in-cat-fur pajamas. With that, I glance at my cat, Snuggles, who is sleeping peacef...

Sometimes Potatoes Should Stay Potatoes

When my nephew asked what foods could be substituted for flour while baking cookies, I though he was being a wiseass. The year before, I used Ritz crackers instead of potatoes when making potato salad. It did not taste good. It reminded me of the time my mother used whole Cheerios as breading for fried chicken. Scarred from the culinary experiences, I haven’t eaten crackers or Cheerios since.
