Stupid Kitchen Mistakes?

[Laura's Babies]

I saw this on another forum and thought it was a great topic, especially since I am a cook. Luckly, most of my worst mistakes are hidden in the garbage before the crew comes in to eat but last trip, I made one that really cracked me up and I did it myself...

I lost my dishrag. Could not find it anywhere and I spent about 15 minutes looking for it, including digging through the garbage can 3 or 4 times, back and forth to the sink, moved just about everything in the galley and could not find it. No one had come in and I had been in there all alone so no one was playing a joke on me. Finally, I gave up on that one and got a clean one and went on about my business.. Went to put the mayo in the fridge (cough! cough!)..... there it was, in the fridge.

(I had put the dishrag in there and not the mayo!)

Anyone esle have any good kitchen stories? (goofs only)

I don't cook -- in fact, my cooking is so bad that I am told by hubby and the kids to stay OUT of the kitchen!

Mom though is a cook. She works in a cafeteria and makes the desserts as well as running the register. Years ago, she also made soups and salads and one fine day, she looked down and noticed the diamnond from her engagement ring was gone. She KNOWS it was there earlier in the day. She never did find it, and she's sure somebody got a special in the Chcken Noodle soup.

Diamond Soup anyone?

How do you get by with not cooking? My sister is like that though. She said if she ever wins a lotto, she is building a house with NO kitchen....

My idea of a perfect kitchen is vending machines!!!

One time I was putting groceries away and ended up putting lettuce in the freezer. I wasn't paying attention, I guess.

When the mayor and I were much younger, we had to cook breakfast for ourselves one day. We are both pretty good cooks, have been for a long time, and we decided we wanted bacon and eggs.

Mistake #1 was leaving the kitchen unattended with a plate of bacon on the table. Freckles, our ST Bernard, decided it was going to be her breakfast, and that was the end of that.

Mistake #2 was cooking the sausage that we replaced the bacon with. We cooked it in the microwave, and kept trying to get it crispy. In the end we wound up with about 8 oz. of tasty hockey pucks.

Oh Laura..... hubby needed my help last night in the kitchen. He was making those AuGratin potatoes from a box. All he needed me to do was open the packet of cheese powder and pour it into the warmed milk & butter mixture that he was stirring. Ok... sounds easy, right? NOT FOR ME! I tore the pouch open, and powdered cheese went ALLLL over the stove, the wall, the refridgerator, the floor, me, and hubby! I couldn't believe all that powder was in that little packet!!!

I told him it was HIS fault for making me COOK... he said "you weren't cooking, you were only tearing open a packet of powdered cheese!"

LOLOLOLOL

I think my worst mistake is when I decided to boil some eggs.

I put them on to boil, and proceeded to go out and mow the lawn Needless to say I had eggs on the ceiling and everwhere else in the kitchen It's just a good thing I didn't burn down the house

I have to say when i made banana bread for the first time.
I blended it TOO much and then i had to gas stove too high and it was stiff and burnt on the outside and goopy, doughy in side!
It was gross!
i think everytime i bake i tend to burn stuff from being on PT too much!
