Famous Death Row Last Meals
Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
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?
