I had everything set to make my fruit salad, but I made a pretty big mistake....UGH!! That's what happens when you don't read ALL of the directions.

This is my fight song.
...I once accidentally added powdered sugar instead of corn starch to my beef stew...
Also, I once fell asleep while boiling taters ... the water evaporated and the pot became a burnt abomination which I promptly pitched into the trash...the odor was not very pleasant and it was what woke me up...:-(
Hahaha.Many, many, moons ago I had an experience somewhat like koskiewicz'...
I came home a bit inebriated and starving, and somehow got the bright idea of broiling some drumsticks. So, (in my drunken stupor) I placed a couple of unseasoned and frozen drumsticks under the broiler...and promptly fell asleep.
The next morning I awoke to that horrendous smell of burnt chicjen and when I looked in the broiler there were two perfectly formed charred outlines of the two drumsticks. Got lucky that time--could've been charred Count remnants instead if chicken, lol!
"Stick with me, baby, and you'll be fartin' thru silk."
I've had several instances of mistakenly putting sugar in my cooking instead of salt...and vice versa. Not a very pleasant taste if you don't catch the mistake and start to eat the food.

I too have mistaken salt for sugar and the taste was horrendous. I've also used too much baking powder which was a mess. One of my funniest mistakes as a teenager was cooking lemon cookies. I made them perfectly but didn't have aluminum foil for the baking pans which the recipe called for. I used plastic wrap and you can imagine how it turned out. My grandmother couldn't figure out what she was eating until she noticed the plastic melted into the cookies. She laughed for days over that one...Lol!
I remember the first time I cooked eggs in the microwave. The door almost blew off from the explosions.

One time i made gingerbread cake and forgot the baking soda/powder. They were good but more like dense brownies than light cake.
Fraaaank. FRANK! Get my jean bin. Susie wants my jeans.
No she doesnt.
Not a big disaster, but one time I forgot to get flour and made broth for stuffed peppers without it. It resulted in really bland stuffed peppers that resembled school cafeteria food. You need a thick broth to make it hearty, comfort food.
Nothing disastrous, one just humorous and one actually good for its mistake!
The humorous one happened when I was making the first cake mix I'd ever baked all on my own.
The recipe had an optional extra, where you could sprinkle nuts or chocolate chips on it right before the cake was finished baking.
So I thought if a handful or so of chips was good, a whole bag might be better.
The cake baked, but it collapsed under the weight of all the chips!
It was a while before my family stopped laughing over that one, although my dad loved the *flat* cake!
The good one happened when I was making an apple pie one day. I pulled out all the spices, mixed up the pie, then baked it.
As I was cleaning up & putting the ingredients away I noticed one of the spices that I use in the pie.....was still in the cupboard.
I wondered uneasily which spice I had used instead! It turned out I'd used ground ginger instead of nutmeg.
My dad (without knowing what I had done) ate a slice, and said "Wow, even better than usual!"
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.
Oof, I've done that with potatoes before. Eggs too. Not pleasant.
