30 Times Folks Online Messed Up A Meal In The Most Entertaining Way Possible For Unexplainable Reasons

I have done this- not once, but twice in the last few years. I am hoping the sink drain and pipes enjoyed my hours simmered chicken stock.I did not enjoy the feeling of being stupid.

This brings me so much joy. Not because they lost their stock, but because my fondest holiday memory is of my mom and dad standing side by side at the kitchen sink as my mom held the pot of broth and my dad held the strainer and they proceeded to do the exact same thing until my mom realized their error and yelled STOP!!! They managed to save about, I dunno, maybe a cup of liquid. 20 years later and I still laugh. 😊

I did this with canned broth, thoughtI was draining veggies... Nope. Stoodthere thinking an awful long time with the can, lol

Oh man that is painful

OH WOW!

Why would you throw away an egg with a crack? You can just keep on boiling them and eat them.

Not long into their marriage, my mum was cooking eggs, and she says to my dad, "Oh look, yours has cracked".

And you were lucky cause they usually crack when they go into hot water

If you add vinegar to your water it will minimize the lost of yolk

I'm positive we have all done this a few times, but I may be wrong.

My mom went shopping one time, put things away. Dad comes home to get ice for his drink, and there is a box of tampons in the freezer. He's like, " Honey...?" and Mom rushes and retrieves the frozen peas from the cupboard under the sink in bathroom....

I have found the milk in the kitchen cabinets before. My husband found it first and left it there for me to find. That was funny and it wasn't left up there long. Thank goodness

"oooh the things I've found, in the fridge, doo dah Doo dah, the things I've found in the drawer, all the Doo dah day "

Did you eat it?

I found my (warm) jug of milk in the pantry this morning so I feel you 😂

There are recipes that use cinnamon and other spices with chicken, raisins, and apricots.

I'm laughing way too hard at this.

My dad once was making something that needed cumin, but was out, so his brain just said "curry sounds similar, maybe it will work"... It did NOT work 🤢

I accidentally poured cinnamon instead of nutmeg into my Potatoe-Soup. But it was actually fine, just a little hint of cinnamon which was pretty neat.

Are there any cinnamon unfriendly dishes??? How come????

This was the header picture on the homepage for this article and I accidentally read it as “I made Benedict Cumberbatch”.

Poaching an egg, including getting your water to boiling, takes no more than 10 minutes. Could have just kept the sauce warm and poach the eggs

Always serve Eggs Benedict on a hubcap, because there's no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise.

I once prepared a spectacular chili with every topping you could want for chili dogs, then realized I forgot to buy hotdogs.

let's be honest no one's eating for the eggs really anyhow...and I LOOOOVE eggs...

I've used five spice *in* hot chocolate, but not *as* hot chocolate. (Just a pinch of spice in a big tub of homemade cocoa mix. Was into Vosges chocolates at the time, which had all kinds of unusual flavors.)

Hard to believe you didn't smell the difference immediately.

I wouldn't either, no messing with my chocolate intake

Can't imagine why she wouldn't like it.....? 😏

I don't think many people would of liked it.😂😂

Game changer - you can make a large batch of rice in advance in the good old Instant Pot and freeze it in portions. Tastes just fine. My new favourite is cilantro lime rice.

Yall are making this too hard. I use a non stick pan, 1 &1/4 cups liquid per cup of rice, boil 12 minutes with lid on, let stand off heat for 10 minutes with lid on, fluff with silicone spatula not fork. Perfect rice every time.

I did this today, and I actually remembered! I atartes the soup pot and the rice cooker at the same time and was SO proud of myself. ;D

Another uncle roger tips that'll come clutch: buy a rice cooker. But I'm not the right person to give you advice. I'm asian, we ALWAYS have rice ready in the rice cooker 24/7.

Same! Or mashed potato.

Depending on what you keep in the trash can, it might be salvageable. I've definitely dropped food like potatoes into the trash while I was peeling them - just a quick rinse under the water solved that problem!

Isn't it an easy save tho? Take them out the garbage and clean, should be all fine... Unless it was a deepest garbage container ever or something
