My cooking tragedies
When I was a small child, perhaps 6 years old, I decided to make rosewood infused candy canes. I had a rosewood box. I cut candy canes into mini pieces, about the size of an after-dinner mint, dipped them into water, and placed them into the box. I let it soak until dinner was over and then brought them out to surprise my mother's dinner guests. I'm sure you can imagine their delight at coughing down sticky gooey pieces of candy cane. My mom told them they didn't have to eat them and told me to go put them back in my room...but they were good sports about it nonetheless.
