Here's another one that happened to my Mom, who had good eyesight.
She always made a double batch of oatmeal raisin cookies because they always
disappeared too quickly. She reached for a bottle of vanilla extract and
didn't look at it, because it was where the vanilla extract usually was.
When the cookies were baking, something didn't smell right. There was a
smell like someone had a barbecue going nearby. We couldn't track down the
smell. I found out where it was coming from when I tasted the first cookie.
Instead of vanilla extract, she had used liquid smoke!!
For a long time, we kidded her about her new invention: Mom's Oatmeal
Smokeys.
Yes, oddly enough, we ate them all. It just took a lot longer to do it.

Subject: [CnD] Oops disaster for long-time cook
Hi Folks,
I share this as it happened to me and I am a long-time cook. So don't get
discouraged as you'll see, things happen to all of us, old or new cooks.
You can laugh at me or with me whichever.
I was making a sauce for meatballs that required some bouillon granules. I
made a large batch as I was going to freeze it. Saw a jar in my cupboard
that was the same size that I ordinarily get bouillon in. I opened it
and sniffed and didn't look at the size of the granules. When I had eyes
available, I discovered it was actually yeast. Oh brother. Had to
regretably throw out the sauce. See, old cooks make mistakes sometimes too
through carelessness. So much for that sauce. Lesson re-learned.
So to all the new cooks out there, take care to know you have the right
ingredient that you think you have. Sigh.
As Always, Vicki
