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?

One of my first culinary experiments didn't go so well... i tried to approximate pizza by putting ketchup and cheddar cheese on white bread and baking in the oven for a few minutes. I think I was about 9 at the time.
