Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.

There was a Saturday long time ago when they were mere babies about 4 or 5. Something had happened that day that totally tipped me over. They said it was that they didn’t tidy their toys but I remembered it differently. They were fighting endlessly that day. I could not stop them from getting at each other. I was so furious and frustrated I locked myself up in my bedroom. About half an hour or so later they decided they were hungry. I ignored their knocking on the door. (I am now aghast when they remind me of this tale.) I heard them giggling outside soon after they started banging about in the kitchen. I stayed in the room until all the banging ended and I was greeted with two best friends 2 hours later.

This was what happened.

They rummaged around, found and opened a packet of instant noodles. Thing 2 said, we should boil it. Thing 1, more fearful, disagreed. They plop a dry noodle cake onto an oven tray.

Let’s have eggs, said Thing 1. Thing 2 giggled and they cracked an egg on it. Thing 2 decided vinegar would go very well with their lunch and poured a small amount over the egg. They were laughing uproariously by now.

The whole tray went into the oven for about 10 mins. They took it out careful to use oven gloves and ate it up.

Until today both kids think it was the best thing they ever eaten and the funnest meal ever.
