OK, what's your worst, your funniest, your most obvious, your cleverest recovered, etc... kitchen blunder?
I have three to offer. You all know the brisket story already.
1) Carrot cake without the flour. OOPS. I remembered shortly after putting it in the oven, and fixed it. Took a while to live it down though.
2) I can't take credit for this: Bouillabaisse without shelling the shrimp. That was Amit, a guy known in our living group for... creative... cooking explorations. (Favorite quote: "Does it need more oregano?")
3) Fig bars from a mix, when I was something like seven. I added two cups of water to the light brown stuff and three tablespoons of water to the dark brown stuff. OOPS. I tried a couple of creative (for a seven-year-old) solutions to the gloppy crust mix. I set it on the warm spot on the counter above the dishwasher. Nope, it didn't get any drier. I put it in the oven. The bottom of the (plastic!) bowl started to mold itself to the rack and I got it out of there. Then I mixed the light brown stuff and the dark brown stuff together and made drop cookies.
OK, what are yours?

no subject
I had made it at my mothers house (she's the one who taught me how to make it)
And as I set the pot on the table for people to begin ladling out...my mom and I looked in the pot and were startled to see three large daddy long leg spiders...swimming around. Her house was known for have lots of spiders...but damn...did they have to get in my stew?
I think we ended up having pizza that night.
