Driver's License Recipe

Ingredients:

500 one-dollar bills (approximately)
2 quarts of frustration
1 1/2 facilitators
4 quarts of patience
1 cup of "not my job" (you can buy this at SuperMaxi)
1 very dependable taxi driver
900 kilometers of questionable roads
4 teaspoons of indifference
2 bus rides from hell
2 measures of "what just happened here"
Some grease (your results may vary)

Mix all of the ingredients (minus the grease, driver and 6 cups of frustration - see below) until some of the frustration surfaces.  Use some of the grease to line a long, narrow cooking pan.  Let simmer for eight months.

Approximately every six weeks, add very tiny dashes of hope, encouragement and optimism.  Watch until completely dissolved.  (This doesn't add any flavor to the mix but is highly recommended.)  Bring to a boil for about two hours before returning to simmer.

Continue adding frustration at the rate of about once a week.

After seven months, mix the taxi driver with the remaining two cups of frustration.  At this time, continue to add grease to the simmering mix.

Allow the taxi driver to rise and dominate the flavor.  It is the catalyst that will produce the final result.

After the eight months, throw original mix in the trash and replace with a smile.  Be sure to thank your taxi driver.

You will now have an Ecuadorian driver's license.
