Stupid Kitchen Mistakes?

How about adding salt instead of sugar in my applecake, and then serve it to my guests
well, I did, and they did NOT like it...

As well as the breakfast hockey pucks which Lady's Human mentioned, there's the gingerbread story.

When we were kids, my beloved Grandma lived with us for a while after Grandpa died. Well, you know the "too many cooks" thing? Grandma and I liked to cook together, and made gingerbread many times. Then came *that* time. We were out of brown sugar, so made some with molasses and white sugar - not completely successfully, but that wasn't the big problem. We were both doing things too quickly, and as we poured the batter in the pan, I looked at Grandma and said "Did you put the baking powder in?"
"No, she said, "I thought you did!"
"Oh, I said, "I thought YOU did!"
So we measured the baking powder and tried to stir it into the batter already in the pan. Do NOT try this at home, boys and girls! It was awful. It looked like an amateur diorama of some ancient landscape, high in some places, low and gummy in others. We literally didn't gingerbread again for years!

The worst food I ever made, was when I added garlic to a can of brown beans It smelled good, but the taste was so bad I nearly dropped my bowl. Tom took a few bites & then tossed it out. Rob ate the whole bowl Guess who was sick that night & for 2 more days?

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!
