Want some?

When I was a kid, I didn't spend much time doing "girly" stuff like playing house or playing mom with dolls. I never even owned a Barbie doll. Wasn't interested.
I loved my tire swing, and my broomstick horse, and this embankment where I would make mud pies.
I loved making mud pies.

Here was my secret recipe:
Fill an old pan with dirt. Add water. Then, add the secret ingredient, which was crumbled-up autumn leaves. I made sure they were extra fine, just like confetti. Stir the leafy bits into the mud, then sprinkle more on top for good measure.
Let the pan sit out in the sun until it's "done".

I had such fun pretending to be a famous chef, performing each step with such precision and flair. Emeril Lagasse would have been proud.
Guess what I called this famous recipe.

I called it my "Leaf Crunch Pudding."
