Oh that reminds me of someone in this house. Wasn't me by the way.

It was supposed to be cake but it was so damned heavy that one bite
would fill you up.

Next time it was so light it broke apart.

Then of course there are the famous Sahara Dessert cookies. Those were
interesting so long as you had a half gallon of milk handy for 3 or 4
cookies.

But my first real cooking experience happened when I was in my early
20's. Spaghetti sauce... it was a little bit acidy the first couple
times but I've refined it since then and it's pretty damn good now.
