Hello reader. Good day to you! How would you like to get a great recipe for a pie that only my dear old granny knew. Well, actually, she was the recipe! You see, it all started 10 years ago when my dear old granny Gonzales was sick in the hospital. She had lukemia. It was on the day on January the twenty fourth that it happened. I know what your thinking - that that's the day she died. Well, you're right, but not in the way you think! My dear ol granny handed me a piece of parchment all crumpled up and scratched, but the writing on it was still ledgible. It said the following..

6 tbsp white sugar
6 tbsp yellow sugar
1 third cup of flour
1 tsp cinnamon
one fourth tbsp of salt
one fouth of a cup of butter
half a tsp of lemon rind
6 tbsp cream
1 pastry recipe
6 cups of the secret ingredient
"Aaron," said my dear old granny Gonzales, " take this too."
She handed me another dilapidated piece of paper. It said...
"The secret ingredient is 15 12 4 16 5 15 n 16 12 5 16 7 5."
"It's an old family heirloom," she said.
But before I could ask her what the code meant, she fell fast asleep and the doctor said she must stay asleep. So I obeyed and went home, the mysterious recipe and cryptic message in my pocket. The moment I arrived home, I focused all my brain power into deciphering the code. The next day, the
mystery was solved. It was not I who deciphered the code, actually, it was my best friend Troy Sabourin. Upon looking at the cryptic message, he said, "Simple! The numbers represent letters according to their places in the alphabet. For examle, that 15 would be "O"."
After thanking Troy, I set to work on the rest of the message. The 12 must be "L" I thought. And the 4 would be "L" and then "D" and "P" and "E" and "O" and "P" and "L" and "E" and "P" and "I" and last of all "E". The cryptic message had been solved!
OLD PEOPLE PIE. And then I remembered something. It was my uncle Frank, who had died six years earlier. I recalled that he had been old when he died, but perfectly healthy. I also remembered that his body had not been present at his funeral. And three days after my uncle had died, my mother had put a huge delicious pie that was both dessertish and meaty, and quite peculiar. And then all the information clicked together like a seatbelt. I knew exactly what my nearly dead old granny wanted me to do. Here's a hint: Her body wasn't present at her funeral, and a big meaty and dessertish pie was on my table three days later.
Here's the Gonzales family ingredients and recipe...
6 cups thinly sliced old people
6 tbsp white sugar
6 tbsp yellow sugar
One third of a cup of flour
1 tsp cinnamon
One quarter of a tbsp of salt
One quarter of a cup of butter/margarine
Half a tsp of lemon rind
6 tbsp cream

Core, peel, and slice old people. Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt and add to sliced old people. Spread into pie plate. Pour cream onto old people and dot with butter/margarine. Sprinkle with lemon rind. Place top crust over mixture. Bake at 450 degrees farenhite for 10 minutes and 350 degrees farenhite for 25 minutes. Enjoy!
