Recently I visited a friend that gave her nine year old daughter an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas. I scanned the room for the massive toy oven I had known as a child only to discover things have changed! The current model looks more like a small microwave. Although technology has improved over the years, I felt a certain comfort in knowing that despite its new exterior design, today's toy oven still cooks with a single lightbulb that barely heats up the famous flour and water cake mixture that thrilled me and gagged anyone I could persuade to eat in bygone days. But as disgusting as it may have been, it set me on the path of curiosity over how a concoction of ingredients could actually turn into something edible. Today I am rewarded with great joy in preparing a wonderful meal to share with family and friends and fortunate for them...I have come a long way since my Easy Bake days!
