When throwing a surprise party....

You may need to go to your Mother's house
to bake a cake on your lunch hour.

Please be aware: 

• You may not be able to find eggs.  Thus you will have to get back in your car and haul Cooper to the store.  
• You may have to hunt down the hand mixer.  It will be from 1897.
• You will have to mix with a silicone whisk, because obviously the beaters would not be in the box of the mixer circa 1934.
• This will suck.  The whisk will not be strong enough to break the yolk, but don't worry, just keep stirring, eventually it will all not mix.
• When your Mother does call you back, she will tell you 3 places that the beaters would be, having looked in all those places, you will find them under a stack of hand towels and oven mitts.
• Make sure the mixer is turned off. If you don't you will jump, the sound of the mixer mixing the stove top is scary.  *whomever used it in 1400 forgot this and just unplugged it*
• You get to watch TV while the cake bakes! *and play angry birds*
• You may have to move about 6,000 items around in a freezer to find a place to place said cake.
• You have to go back to work.
