I tried waking up 15 minutes early this moring so I could try eating breakfast at home instead of at work. So I got a bowl out the cupboard and put some cornflakes in it. Then I went over to the fridge and took two eggs out. I cracked the eggs and poured them out over my cornflakes. Then I put the bowl in the microwave for a minute & a half. As I set the bowl on the table I thought “Somethings not right”. :smack: I ate at work anyway. So anybody else screw up a simple breakfast recently. On the plus side at least I remembered to put shorts on before taking my dog outside for his morning potty break.
Well, I have NEARLY put tomato juice in my coffee once. And I wasn’t even attempting two whole courses like cornflakes and eggs. See, it’s trying too much that lets you down. 
Too ambitious!
I was once making oatmeal and starting a loaf in the bread maker at the same time, and accidentally poured the oil into my oatmeal. Oops.
When I lived in a cheap hotel where the only working toilet was on an entirely different floor, I’d keep a thunderjug by the bed. I also kept a pitcher of water by the bed for when I got thirsty. I guess you know where this is headed. Yes, one bright morning I woke up thirsty and took a nice big swig from the thunderjug.
Not a mistake I made again.
I tried making some banana pancakes last week, and the bananas were too mushy, so instead of pancakes with nice chunks of banana in them, I had… something not tasty.
Eggs Benedict:
Broiled the ham and tomato, toasted the english muffins, had the hollandaise ready - perfectly synchronised. This is a breakfast that never fails to impress new bedmates, and I was well pleased.
I was when I began to assemble the whole business that I remembered that at some point I was supposed to poach some eggs. Tiny detail.
Poured milk into the cereal box once. I managed to salvage breakfast, though.
I had some banana syrup (delicious!) that was really good on pancakes. I like chocolate banana flavored stuff, so I thought chocolate pancakes was a good idea. I found out why I’ve never seen chocolate pancakes before. Ick.
Made another batch with dark chocolate chips instead, and with the banana syrup. Yum.
You’d think chocolate milk would be good on granola, too.
It’s not.
Really? That *sounds *good, but I’ll take your word for it.
Orange Juice on Cheerios is just awful. I didn’t even realize I’d done it till I took a bite. :smack:
Oh yeah, I’ve done that. Even the dog wouldn’t touch it, and she eats deer poop.
My gf had been up all night and hadn’t had dinner yet. She was gonna reheat leftover rigatoni noodles and top it with jarred sauce that was also left over. Well, she has a very big, filled, refrigerator.
The jar of sauce was not the recently opened jar she thought, rather it was a very old jar that had hidden successfully in the crowd. She poured sauce into a dish to reheat in the microwave, and saw a big wad of cheese. She was hungry and the cheese looked yummy, so she picked it up and took a bite.
Not cheese. Rather it was a big ball-of-mold sorta deal. Breakfast was ruined.
On an canoe trip a while back my buddy tried to make scrambled eggs in about 1 inch of bacon grease. Which, if I had eaten it, would not have been nearly as disgusting as the story told by kayaker.
Ugh.
I was going to impress the kids by making waffles a while back. I didn’t have any non-stick spray, so I just oiled up the waffle maker really well, or so I thought. The first waffle stuck so badly I ended up throwing the whole thing out, waffle maker and all.
The pancakes we had instead were pretty good, though.
I did that once many many years ago. I believe that it was Corn Flakes though.
I poured milk over my cereal one morning, not knowing that the milk had gone bad. Very bad, almost overnight. Chunky bad. I was groggy and didn’t notice the chunks until I’d taken a bite. Eyyyyyyech.
beer and Cap’n Crunch isn’t as good as you may think. It is a great deal worse than you would think, actually.
I generally don’t have any problem with food combinations, although my aim is terrible early in the morning and I tend to miss cereal bowls and the like.
What is really bad is when I put things back. I’ve found milk cartons where I keep the bread, I’ve found coffee cups in the fridge instead of the sink, and I’ve found cereal containers in the fridge more times then I could count.
A few years ago I set out my bowl and the cat’s bowl, poured raisn bran in my bowl, and then opened a can of Mixed Grille and dumped it onto my raisin bran.
When visited my parents one time I grabbed a random box of cereal, dumped it into a bowl and poured music over it.
Upon taking the first bite I noticed it was incredibly sludgy and bland, not taste at all . I checked the box to see what the hell crappy cereal they were into these days. It was a box of instant mashed potato flakes. I suppose I should have noticed something when it poured out of spout in the side, not the top.
