it's amazing the shenanigans that you can get into when left to your own devices for entertainment. for example, one trip to somalia, i randomly decided that bringing instant cake (the ones where you add just eggs and water and bake) would be a great idea. this, despite having no oven, no baking dishes, no mixers, and eggs the size of coins. i think i had some random thought that i could just eat the dough (hello salmonella & typhoid!!). so yeah, there i was one day with a box of instant cake, a free afternoon, a friend as bored as i was and this was the result:
 |
the beginning -
dough made with tiny eggs
(put in 5 when the instructions said 3) |
 |
| this is the 'stove' |
 |
| the dough was put into a pot |
 |
which was then covered
|
 |
and topped off with hot charcoal
|
 |
and then weighted down
with the top part of the 'stove',
also filled with hot charcoal
|
 |
resulting in rather burned,
|
 |
crumbly,
|
 |
cake
|
 |
the end result -
crumbly sweet cake which looks
more like rice than cake,
but we ate it anyways! hey!
beggars can't be choosers!! |
