A Testament Of The Granola Chronicles

And the Banji said let a glass mixing bowl be brought forth
And the mixing bowl was brought forth.

And the Banji said let a measure of the oats known as rolled be poured into the mixing bowl.
And as it is written so it was done.

And the Banji said let a pinch of salt, a tittle of vanilla, a jot of honey, a sprinkling of sugar brown, a graspling of cinnamon, and a pour of syrup of maple be added to the glass mixing bowl.
And as it is written so it was done.

And the Banji said let a handful of raisins be added to the bowl of mixing.
And the handful of raisins was added to the bowl of mixing.

And the Banji said let the contents of the glass bowl of mixing be stirred and mixed in a forthright and vigorous manner to ensure that the raisins, cinnamon, sugar brown, syrup of maple, honey, salt, and vanilla be homogeneously distributed among the oats known as rolled.
And is is written so it was done.

And the Banji said let the receptacle of heating be set to 325 degrees and
And as it is written so it was done.

And the Banji said let the contents of the bowl of mixing be poured into the pan of baking that has been greased with the butters of Wisconsin.  Furthermore let the mixture be spread evenly on the pan of baking.
And as it is written so it was done.

And the Banji said let the pan of baking be placed into the receptacle of heating for a time of 7 time five minutes.
And as it is written so it was done.

And the Banji said, "Thus sayeth the Banji verily, verily I say onto thee that after a period of 7 times 5 minutes the mixture in the pan of baking will have turned a golden brown and I will bring it out of the receptacle of heating for its roasting and caramelizing will be complete."

And it came to pass that in the time interval of seven times five minutes that the Banji brought out the golden brown mixture for it was caramelized and it was roasted well nigh to completion.

And after an interval of cooling the Banji said, "Behold I have brought you forth granola for pennies on the dollar that granola mafia charges for the similar product.  So from this day forth may all your birkenstock wearers, hippies, regularity chasers, and ancillary consumers of the oatmeally derived goodness cease to worship at the doors of Cascadian Farms, at Kashi, at Kellogs, or at the one known as Bare Naked brand."

After he had completed speechifying his speech the Banji poured the wonder called granola into the bowl of eating and added milk of soy.  And the Banji said let the golden brown granola be tasted and he proceeded with the tasting and the snacking and the eating, and the chewing till the granola was eaten up and verily the soymilk was drunk up.

And after the completion of this act the Banji pronounced the granola good and he slept for he was sated.
