This is from the Sun Developers CD-ROM.  A couple of quibbles from me
about the accuracy of some of the items listed (for example,
all-purpose flour is certainly not 100% gluten!), but still pretty
hilarious:

Why Engineers Don't Write Recipe Books...

Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Ingredients:


        1.)   532.35 cm3 gluten
        2.)   4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
        3.)   4.9 cm3 refined halite
        4.)   236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow 
              triglyceride
        5.)   177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11
        6.)   177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11
        7.)   4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
        8.)   Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian 
              albumen-coated protein
        9.)   473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao
        10.)  236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats 
              (sieve size #10)

Directions:

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall
heat transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft2-hr, add ingredients
one, two and three with constant agitation. In a second 2-L reactor
vessel with a radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add
ingredients four, five, six, and seven until the mixture is
homogenous. To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three
equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally,
add ingredient nine and ten slowly, with constant agitation. Care must
be taken at this point in the reaction to control any temperature rise
that may be the result of an exothermic reaction.

Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture
piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm). Heat in a 460K oven for a
period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston's first
order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown. Once
the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25C heat-transfer
table, allowing the product to come to equilibrium.
