This reminds me of one of my favorite stories of my son as a boy scout.

To get his cooking badge he had to plan the meals for a troop weekend outing - breakfasts, lunches and dinners - buy on budget, with healthy foods, organize the preparation of the food, and do much of the cooking himself.

For the final dinner the desert was to be a "dump cake", the instructions said: mix all ingredients in a pan and chill for an hour. Well, he took that to mean "chill out", not put on ice... with inedible, but hilarious results.

We still joke about it to this day...

We love our house at a nice low temp - 58F at night and 60-62F during the day. Of course it helps that we are cheap!
