World's Greatest Ham Sandwich

Thumb-size chunk 2-year-old white Cheddar cheese (NOT SLICED!!!)
Thick cut ham (real ham, not lunchmeat)
Two slices white bread

Wrap the cheese in the ham, put it between the bread slices. Enjoy.

Dessert Soup, 5-Year-Old-Me-Style

Take a soup bowl, fill one-third of it with chocolate pudding, fill the rest with root beer. Enjoy!
(Yes, I actually ate this as a child, and yes, it's delicious.)

 'Secret' asparagus

16 stems asparagus (washed, with tough bases removed)
8 strips thick-cut bacon, cut in half lengthwise
Mayonnaise
Coat asparagus thoroughly with mayonnaise. (Yes, this is a necessary step, and I have the burns to prove it.) Wrap one bacon strip half around each asparagus stem. Secure with toothpick(s) if necessary (it shouldn't be, but it depends on the quality of your bacon, and some of us can't afford the better stuff due to circumstances beyond our control). Bake 14-15 minutes at 425-430 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve immediately.

Rumaki

16 water chestnuts, canned
8 oz. enoki, fresh or canned
4 slices bacon
Hot soy sauce (teriyaki sauce will do in a pinch)

Trim enoki and rinse thoroughly. Let drain 15 min, then divide into 16 equal portions. Soak water chestnuts in sauce 15 min. Remove and discard sauce. Cut bacon slices into four equal pieces. Wrap bacon quarter around 1 enoki portion and 1 water chestnut. Repeat. Bake 30 min. at 345-350 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve immediately.
