42. There have been a few failures for me, but I can't remember them specifically.

I've asked my wife and daughter and they can't remember either. I do remember once trying to make homemade drop biscuits, but they weren't as good as Pillsbury, so why bother. I did try stovetop green bean casserole because my oven doesn't work; that was an experiment than failed.

If it isn't something my family will like, I won't even try to make it. I hated my mother's liver; I've never tried to make it.

My pancakes are the bomb.
