My cooking tragedies
The angelfood cake I attempted to make for my Dad when I was about 12 years old. I didn't read the recipe correctly. Instead of adding 12 egg whites, I added 12 whole eggs. Needless to say, it was one very dense (heavy) cake that smelled and tasted remarkably like an omlete. Bless his heart...my Dad ate it anyway.
