Chocolate beans ... I want to try it. It might be as good as smoked
oatmeal
cookies.
I used to date a guy who put peanut butter in his chili.
When we were kids, my brother and I decided to play an April fools joke on
Mother. We switched the flour and sugar in the canisters. Mother decided
we deserved a treat, so made us some fudge. Don't know if she figured out
our prank. It was too hard to pretend nothing was wrong with the
sugarless
fudge. We had to confess our crime.

I put grape jelly in my meatloaf. I thought it was catsup.

I put syrup in my baked beans.
Let me tell you that honey mustard salad dressing does not make a good
replacement for catsup. Yep, grabbed that bottle and liberally covered my
meatloaf with it. That's the second time I did that. The first time, I
thought, "might be good" and baked the meatloaf. Nope, don't do that
again.
So the second time, I wiped it off and used the catsup instead. All I can
say is: smell, smell, smell or taste prior to using.
I am sure many of us, including our sighted friends, have had surprises
in
their food. My mom has bought the wrong item at the store just because it
was on the shelf with the item she actually wanted. So, I say to them,
read,
read, read (:

OK; here's more encouragement for all you new cooks.
I was making some baked beans for a church event a few weeks ago. I was
following my mom's recipe. She uses catsup, mustard, brown sugar and (I
think) worcestershire sauce. Anyway, I grabbed a flat bottle which I
assumed contained mustard and stirred it into the beans. I smelled it and
then tasted it noticing that something was odd about the mixture. To my
horror, I discovered that I had used chocolate syrup in place of the
mustard. OOPS!!!
Fortunately, we were able to add mustard and the beans were not that bad.

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
