The first thing I used the stove for was scrambled eggs. I was 3. I don't
remember cracking the eggs. I do remember using the egg beater and mixing
them in a pan while standing on a chair. I made toast to go with.

I don't think I made Rice Krispy treats until maybe I was in high school but
that's probably because we never had any of that cereal in the house. We
were only allowed to have certain cold cereals.
