My dad will be 86 next month and still eats either a peanut butter sandwich or an onion sandwich every day for lunch! I think it's part of his secret to longevity.:-)
My son made me an angel food cake when he was about 8 years old. He didn't know it needed to be in a cake pan. He'd poured it out onto a cookie sheet. He'd also arranged with a neighbour to invite me over for a few minutes, so that he could cook it and surprise me. Unbeknownst to me, he called her in a slight panic. She calmed him down and then a little while later I said goodbye and went home.
When I got there, he had the cookie sheet in his hands, with crumbling, flat cake baked all over it and over the sides. He'd stuck a twig in the middle and attached a sign at the top which said "To the World's Best Mom."
Well, I had to have some. What nobody warned me of, was his emergency call to my friend was that it had dripped over and caught on fire in the oven. He knew to throw baking soda on it to put it out, but wanted to know how to get it off of the cake! He couldn't, since it was still cooking, SO...I got a very mouth-puckering cake to eat, just full of tasty baking soda!
