I have a similar story from my childhood. My mom used to make makeshift cookies by spreading cake frosting between graham crackers. We kids went crazy over them. A few years ago, we asked mom why she never made them anymore.

She replied indignantly that she only made those when she either didn't have time or money to bake. She was a little upset that we found those cookies to be a highlight of our childhood.

How about you?

Well... Did I miss any? :)
