Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
From the time I was 11 years old, when I was sick, I would be allowed to stay home alone. I loved the freedom of having the entire house to myself, and despite my coughs and sniffles, would often take advantage of the solitude to do a bit of kitchen experimentation. My favorite thing to make was homemade hashbrowns. I didn't know much about the properties of frying back in those days, so I never used enough oil to get a crispy mound of shredded potatoes. Instead, I'd end up with a pile of grey (albeit, still tasty) potato bits.
Last Friday, a friend sent me a link to the xkcd cartoon you see above and it immediately made me think of those days at home, sneakily making hashbrowns. How about the rest of you? Anyone else have a home-sick-from-school specialty?

Being tiny, and a huge fan of mince pies, on sick days I used to grab it out, smear a bunch of it between two slices of bread and clasp it into a grilled sandwich machine. 5 Minutes later; Mince Pie Sandwich. It was pretty disgusting now that I look back at it... But great.
