There seemed no way out of this sobbing quagmire until she submitted her next demand: to cook something. On her own. With no recipe.
We compromised: She could wear her own apron and do the baking, but she needed to follow a recipe under my gentle guidance from her very own cookbook.
Out came Pretend Soup.
Following the pictures and simple instructions that I read aloud to her, she was able to assemble a fine batch of whole wheat, slightly under-puffed, popovers.
Behold the pastries that saved our dinner hour.

LOVE the stalag 13 reference :)

Yes, I totally meant Hogan's Heroes.
Although there is also a (non-funny) movie called Stalag 13, which, if you watch it, will help you understand where some of the HH jokes come from! Recommended.
