Hi Everyone,

I had Xmas dinner at my house today. I cook, however, I do not consider myself "a cook" so I tend toward easy recipes and short cuts. Last night, in preparing, I was making a cheese cake. Not a traditional one with springfoam pan, but a short cut easy one. You mix up the cream cheese filling stuff and put it into a ready made graham cracker crust in a foil pan and shove it in the oven. I took it out of the oven after the alotted 40 minutes to see if it was "set". It wasn't. As I was putting it back into the oven, the foil pan decided to FOLD and consequently the crust crumbled and the filling started to pour into the oven, on the oven door, and BETWEEN the door and the over, oozing into the drawer below. I was able to get the pan back onto the top of the stove before all the filling poured out. I then invented "Cream Cheese Crumb Cake". I served it today in bowls. Surprisingly it was a hit. Of course I told the story of the invention so the sympathy may have helped!

Anyone else have a "mishap" story to tell?
