Well, a couple years ago I was making a meatloaf and a pecan pie to take to a church supper. I had saltine crackers for the meatloaf sitting on the counter and the pecans for the pie. I was really stressed out and in a hurry and picked up the saltines and put them in the pecan pie instead of pecans. I ended up pouring the mixture through a strainer and got most of the saltines out, then added the pecans. They ate it all but one piece. Had to do more saltines for the meatloaf. We all have our crazy cooking moments. It was funny after the fact.
