Learning to walk before I run

oh no - what a terrible oversight!  Can you use the dough to make skillet naans so that it does not go to waste? - hope the takeaway was good though!

I've forgotten the yeast several times, it was still OK - just a little thinner and crispier than usual!

Now you tell me! My pizza is better than the takeaway one, I'll know for next time.

@rtandon27 - Also noted for the next time my memory fails me!

It’s worse when it’sa loaf, trust me! (Even when you try to incorporate it afterwards - it just doesn’t work.) But agree - homemade is definitely better than takeaway/shop bought. We so rarely have takeaway anything these days - it’s just nearly always a disappointment.

I concur tmv, even if I'm tired/ill/been out all day, that's the one thing that stops me getting a takeaway, I just don't think the 'convenience' would 'best' the feeling of wasting so much money, and the feeling that even 'a boiled egg and soldiers' would actually have tasted better. 

I forgot yeast several times in my simple little breadmaker, ed - it really is unrescue-able, although flatbreads are an option as rt mentioned.  I wore the BM out, so don't have it anymore - my trick now is to forget baking powder in cakes as I only stock plain flour in the house.  My, how I laugh when the chocolate or fruit or apple rock scones come out of the oven.......... 🙄😂

I once forgot to put the paddle in...

I once ran the slow cooker overnight for 10 hours, before waking up to discover I'd forgotten to switch it on at the wall 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Have done all of those things in recent memory at different times

@South_coast - you're giving me flashbacks to when I left a whole roast chicken to cool on the worktop and then went to bed!

A slow day but a few bonus bucks were made - £8.55 ready to withdraw from Prolific when I can do so again tomorrow

I also got groceries and took DD2's rear-facing car seat to the recycling centre (she has outgrown it). I felt pretty bad to be throwing it away but the NHS says that you shouldn't take car seats from other people unless you can be 100% confident that it has never been in an accident. As I don't know anyone at the "little people" life stage I made the decision just to get rid, hopefully the metal base gets recycled We sold our last one, but it was a very expensive brand. I felt retrospectively bad about this, possibly because someone who wanted the best for their little person had relied on my honesty. Conflicted!
