    Only pots and pans go on the stove top.

    Oh yeah.... I forgot about the day I learned that particular lesson. Oops. (Glass casserole dish, in my case.)

    Yes, I did this with a stone casserole dish, luckily it didn't shatter and the family ate whatever was in it and then threw the dish away.

    I like to bake and generally do well, but my mom gave me a recipe for tiramisu cupcakes. Not sure what happened, but they were not right. They tasted fine, but looked bad....I turned them into a tiramisu trifle.

    I really wanted cookies but only had whole wheat flour. I made them anyway, without adjusting the recipe... not good.

    I was making homemade chocolate ice cream at my parents while talking on the phone with my best friend. After the ice cream maker finished we all got a big bowl full. A big bowl full of straight cocoa powder flavored ice cream. Completely bitter. I'd forgotten the 2 cups of sugar. Wasted 1/2 gallon of milk, 3 eggs, plus the other ingredients as well as an hour. Had to wash everything and completely start over. Two hours later, after a trip to the market, we had real ice cream.

    Great topic. As it turns out, when making cheesy biscuit and homemade lasagna, the mozza goes in the biscuits and the ricotta goes in the lasagna. Was there company over? I think you know the answer to that ...

    I also once put a 6 pound roast with veg into a Crockpot and went to work. 9 hours later I returned expecting that wonderful smell upon coming through the door. Instead I had a spoiled roast that had set at room temperature for 9 hours because I forgot to turn the darned thing on.

    Wasted $20 and ended up having to order pizza. I hate pizza.

    oh geez - this sounds like something I would do. How many times have I said, "I wonder what went wrong ..." :)

    I tried to make some protein fluff a while back. It looked like something you'd find in a diaper, and the texture was like the slime we used to play with as kids. The taste was mildly inoffensive, but the rest....*shudder*
