I'm not sure this thread is such a good idea.

You lot keep reminding me of mistakes I had conveniently forgotten. :whistle: :rotfl:

when i used to have a breadmaker i frequently forgot to put the little paddle in - and just ended up with a solid lump of hardened flour.

i forgot to add margarine when i made scones the other day - and guess what? fat free scones taste fine! result!

I forgot to put the bottom bit in my Kenwood blender attachement on top of the mixer the fist time I used it. Switched it on, result - leek and potato soup everywhere!!

I only dare use it again after another year with great trepidation! It was ok this time - I must have fixed it!

I also have left the polysterene base on the pzza in the oven -whoops!

I have lost count of the number of times I have put everything in the Remoska and then forgot to switch it on! Dinner delayed by an hour - again!

I remember buying some chicken breast nuggets for my daughter once and thought I would cook a couple extra for me.

Didn't tell her as she would have wanted them, didn't tell hubby as he would have wanted to try one plus I was cooking our meal at the same time, so really I was being a bit of a pig wanting these too.

I left them under the grill to cool down so that I could wolf them down without anyone noticing.

Found them two days later shrivelled up on the grill rack.

That will teach me for being greedy, sly and a lazy s*d for not cleaning the grill pan until 2 days later!

:rolleyes:

My DH thought the chicken stock I had just made was dishwater and threw it down the sink.

He was not popular

Don't ever give your OH a pasty on a plastic plate and say 'pop in the oven for 25 minutes'. :rolleyes:

Pasty was fine, the plastic plate had started to melted through the bars. :eek:

On pack holiday with the Brownies who were trying to get their cooks badge. I asked them to put the butter in the pan and stir till it melts... butter and wrapper went in!

Decided I'd bake a Christmas cake to send to soldiers (friends of mine) in Afghanistan. Typically you're not allowed to send alcohol so I thought I'd just bung a whole load into the cake to give them a taste of it. The cake took hours and hours and hours to cook and the house stank of booze for ages afterwards... aparently it tasted good though and was a massive morale boost.

I'm not destined to make flapjack... first attempt it turned out like museli and didn't stick together. Second attempt I burnt it to a crisp. Third attempt my oven broke. I'm taking the hint now!

Howsabout the time I made a massive vat of stock using 4 carefully saved and frozen carcasses, poured it into a bowl to cool, didn't cover it and came back half an hour later to find the hugest spider in the world floating around in the murky depths. Apparently spiders can't do the breast stroke in chicken stock. I had to chuck the whole of it down the sink. BLEURGH!


Or the time I had made gravy for dinner which was in a pyrex jug in my kitchen. I was also making fairy cakes at the same time and hadn't gotten around to washing the dishes after dinner. For some reason I mistook the gravy for icing and iced my cakes with cold congealed gravy - NOM!
