Our cooking or baking mistakes we can laugh at now. [View all]

I posted a picture of my plastic packed bread. I had hurriedly put it in the oven to bake but left the clingwrap cover for when it was rising on the loaf. Ooops. One of us suggested that we all might have some stories to tell or mistakes we have made that we can laugh at now.
At my last MIL house I mistook the salt container for a sugar container and added extra salt to some dinner rolls. Oops. Didn't rise as well as expected. They became my traditional (never baked again) salt lick rolls. The next time I visited the salt container had NaCl in black marker on the lid.
