I once got my canisters mixed up and sweetened my strawberries with salt. Yuck!

I once apologized to a counter after I bumped into it. I was a wee bit tipsy. Lol

I once fried a stewing hen. Talk about your rubber chicken. It was the first time I had my parents over for dinner. Needless to say it was a fiasco.

This happened years ago. I was quite aggravated because I couldn't find my readers. I was searching the house high & low when I realized I was wearing them... and not on the top of my head. I was wearing them on my face where they belonged.
These days I have multiple pairs, every room, my car, my purse, a few at work.

I once over microwaved scallops and they were mini hard balls flatten a bit.

I wore two different brands of shoes, the same color but noticeably different. Didn't notice until I got home form running errands. I never dress in the dark anymore.

Let me preface this by saying I really don't cook. I don't enjoy it at all. As a matter of fact, I hate cooking.
My niece was hosting Christmas dinner this particular year. Of course I wanted to contribute something to the dinner. I had purchased 2 frozen Mrs. Smith's pies, frozen but you still had to cook them. How hard could that be, right?
Now it's Christmas morning. I preheat the oven as per the directions on the box. Oven heats to temperature and I put the frozen pies in the oven... all good, done. I set the timer & go about my business.
In a while I smelled something burning, went into the kitchen & smoke was coming out of the oven. I open the oven door to see 2 huge jet black lumps in pie plates.
You know how when you set the oven to preheat both the bottom coils AND the top broiler coils come on? Well, I hadn't taken the oven off of preheat so the 2 pies broiled to death under the broiler coils.
There went my contribution to Christmas dinner.
It's pretty bad when you can't even cook a premade, frozen pie.

Smiling at OG. It was a scramble on the way to her house on Christmas day trying to find a store that was open so I could buy something, anything, to bring.
All I could find open was a tiny convenience store and they had next to nothing. I could've brought a carton of cigarettes or lottery tickets but that didn't seem fitting somehow.
I ended up with 2 half gallons of ice cream, hoping someone at the dinner would've brought something that went with ice cream.

I roasted the giblets inside the turkey the first time I cooked turkey. I was 17 and mom was sick in bed & she didn't tell me when I washed the turkey to thoroughly rinse the inside. I found the neck so I thought that was all there was. LOL
The turkey turned out good...lots of relatives complimented me so the giblets were kept a secret.

OMG I had the best laugh at myself today...
So DH and I took my MIL out to lunch. I asked when MIL's birthday is, and hubby replied June 32. I snickered and retorted, "Honey, there aren't 32 days in June!" He looked at me like I was bonkers, trying not to laugh, as it slowly dawned on me that he OBVIOUSLY meant June 1932. I am still embarrassed about that. (But it gives me the giggles thinking about it.)

Wf -a friend came to the rescue of another friend who left the wrapper on the turkey and it was smoking. The Turkey hotline lady had a call once asking why the skin was red and blue -again the caller had not removed the wrapper. Make you feel better WF?
My first attempt at baking/making a pie. I got the ingredients and used pie crust mix in a box. Somehow the pastry went from the bottom and floated to the top. Pecan pie number one and only time .

LOL Dean. My first apple pie was my last like your first pecan pie, but mine stuck to the pan so badly I had to throw away the pie pan. Pies are not my favorite thing to make.

I put tequila in a cake instead of rum. It was too late to bake another so I served it anyway. I don't think anyone even noticed.

I was waiting for a friend to pick me up in front of a store so when a shiny black Jeep pulls up I open the door to get in and it wasn't my friend. I said sorry and quickly shut the door. LOL So embarrassing.

A few years ago I went to visit my mother-in-law who was recovering from hip surgery in a rehab hospital. I took her to the TV room and a few minutes later began rummaging in my purse for my cellphone. I began to really panic and took everything out of my purse as I searched frantically. Although she was seated next to me, MIL barely noticed my chaotic behavior because she was absorbed chatting away merrily on my cellphone which I had cheerfully lent her, moments before!

I send messages about eating muskaret stew to feel better to a cousin who we pretended to eat as a kid.
