The container was sitting next to the container of non dairy creamer. I was on the third spoonful before I noticed the mistake. One day last week, I caught myself trying to shove a pitcher of freshly made iced tea, onto the much smaller cabinet shelf. When I opened the refridgerator, there sat the cannister of sugar. :smack: My husband murdered 3 cans of frozen lemonade, (on seperate occasions), this Summer. He put them in the pantry with the other canned goods. Share your absent mindedness… ---

After making a cake, I carefully cleaned everything up. A couple hours later, my dad asked, “Why is the mixer in the fridge?” ---

I recently poured my salad dressing into my glass instead of the juice. ---

Once I was making egg custard, and when I was just about ready to pour the liquid mixture into the custard cups, I tasted it to see if I’d put in enough nutmeg. Turned out that I had used a cup and a half of salt instead of sugar. Bleh. ---

Just the other day, after fixing myself a bowl of cereal, I put the milk into the cabinet and the cereal in the fridge. Recently, after a night of drinking (I need some sort of defense!), I carefully scooped three tablespoons of coffee grounds into my cereal bowl, and emptied the contents of two instant oatmeal packages into the coffee filter. I’m not much of a morning person, can you tell? ---

This is the worst I’ve ever done… I was making banana bread and instead of adding 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of shortening… I added 2 cups shortening, 1/2 cup of flour…AND put it in the oven for an hour. After it was ‘baked’ I cut the crappy goop, tasted it and just about threw up. NASTY. ---

I put the orange juice in the cupboard, the bread in the freezer, the glass in the fridge, and the butter in the drawer. Yes, senility kicks it a bit early, doesn’t it? ---

A while back, I was chatting on the phone to a friend. Poured myself a glass of orange juice as I talked, and took a sip. Then involuntarily screamed into the phone. It wasn’t orange juice. It was grapefruit … ---

Once, waking up after working a very long, physically demanding work week (with much too much overtime), I awoke feeling groggy and wanted to wash my hair in the kitchen sink and take a nice, hot bath to soothe my aching muscles. My parents always keep shampoo beside the sink for those times. It wasn’t until much later, after my wonderful bath, that I noticed my hair felt dry and crispy… and had a fresh lemon scent. I’d washed my hair with Sunlight dish liquid. ---

Cooking one evening, I got a block of cheese out of the fridge, got the knife and went to the cutting board. Something interupted me before I could get started, and when I came back the cheese wasn’t on the cutting board. I searched the entire house looking for a block of cheddar cheese. I finally found it in the knife drawer. ---

> [@photopat](#): > > Hillbilly Queen: > > And? How was it? I hate coffee, but maybe parmesan would make it tolerable. 🙂 I didn’t get to taste it, but it was seeing the first 2 spoonfuls melting into a slimey yellow glob, that made me realize something was wrong. **Kaotic Newtral** reminded me of when I almost ruined a brand new bread machine. I got the measurements for the flour and water mixed up. Instead of baking bread, I boiled it. It overflowed out of the pan and into the machine. ---

I am incapable of doing two things at once. I need a glass of water and a fork. I go into the kitchen, get the glass of water, get back to the living room, realize I forgot the fork, go back to the kitchen (glass of water still in my hand), put down the glass to get a fork out of the drawer, go back to the living room, realize I forgot the water. If I’m _really_ lucky, I remember to put the fork down before returning to the kitchen. ---

I put detergent in my frying-pan instead of oil. While I was frying food. Three times. Then I started wondering why the oil was frothing. ---

I’ve repeatedly dumped salt, creamer, vanilla flavoring stuff, and pretty much anything other than sugar in my coffee at the coffee shop at school. I also have gotten back to my dorm after buying some food, proceeded to put a bag of chips or something in the fridge, and put the yogurt I just purchased on my shelf. ---

Bill Cosby may _love_ Jello pudding, but probably not the way I once made it. I reached into the fridge to grab the milk and instead grabbed the buttermilk (I have it to make biscuits). Chocolate pudding made with buttermilk will make you gag. I know this from personal experience.
