The Brie Cheese from the Otherside Cafe in Boston: brie, sliced pear and granny smith, red onion, lettuce and tomato on sourdough with honey mustard. So tasty that even when I broke my temporary tooth while eating one, I finished the sandwich before bursting into tears and calling my dentist!

We took Home Ec. in 6th and 7th grade (94-95)...and it was cooking and sewing. We learned to cook bacon, wash dishes correctly, bake a cake, and how to use measuring cups/spoons correctly. What I remember best was getting yelled at for rinsing a pan in cold water.

We also sewed a pillow, a locker caddy, and a duffel bag. I wouldn't have learned to sew otherwise, and I'm eternally grateful that I can read a pattern, back-stitch, throw a zipper on that mother, and thread a machine! The pillows were hideous and had felt lions on them btw.

Domed, delicious and perfect! We get the popovers at Jordan Pond in Acadia Nat'l Park, ME every summer and I've been too scared to attempt making them on my own. It's like I'm on vacation again! These were so good with butter and blackberry preserves.

first day of class sophomore year of college: i turned the stove burner on to make tea. new apt/new stove/wrong burner. the back burner had a "pyrex" baking dish resting on it. i realized my mistake too late and as i walked over to shut the burner off, molten glass explosion. my roommates were terrified, i was glad to be wearing glasses and a sweatshirt, but the rug in the living room and my pajama pants were ruined with molten glass shards. scary and a total freaking mess.
