Did you ever cook something and have a total disaster from either the wrong ingredients or something else?

I had leftover bananas, really ripe so I decided to make banana bread. I was on the phone while I was mixing it up and totally forgot to put sugar in it. It’s baking now so it’s too late.

A friend comes from a large family (big Irish family of many kids). I was over their house when I was a teenager and the mom was busily doing her nightly cooking for 9 or 10 people, and she was making mashed potatoes. Instead of grabbing the milk container to put milk in it, she mistakenly grabbed the dish detergent and put dish detergent into the potatoes. Needless to say, the whole pot of potatoes was garbage, 5 pounds thrown away. Disaster that made for a funny story for many years.

How about you? Have you ever had a disaster when cooking or baking?
