Fish Cakes
My dad wasn't much of a cook. Most. if not all, of the cooking was done by my mother. My dad and I specialized in popcorn, chocolate malts, and Sunday breakfast. One Sunday morning, my dad wanted to make pancakes from scratch, and we didn't have baking powder, so he decided to add baking soda to the mix, thinking they were pretty comparable. It wasn't. The pancakes ended up tasting like FISH! They were awful. Unfortunately, it just affirmed why he shouldn't cook, which just put a bit more pressure on mom. We stuck to Bisquick after that.
