When I was a kid I used to have a Little Tikes kitchen set.

I'm at my parents' house and it's in their storage crawlspace, along with about a million other things I had as a kid.
I also had an extensive collection (hundreds?) of Matchbox cars.
I did too! It had a little skillet with bacon in it that at teh turn of a little knobish type thing would make sizzling sounds...
It had a toaster oven too! and I had fake little plastic eggs and whatever else.
I remember selling at a yard sale for $13, to the most adorable little girl.
Little little little...

This was, apparently, because I really wanted to learn how to cook.
According to my mother, this somewhat disturbed my grandfather, until I actually started cooking in the real kitchen at a young age. Then it was... ok.
