Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.
My son engineered The Gingerbread Man Disaster. In the days leading up to Christmas, my son decided he wanted to take gingerbread men to his homeroom class, so the evening before, we made and decorated two big trays of gingerbread men. They were very cute and aromatic. We’d done well. We left them on the counter with the intention off packing them up later.
Before long, I heard John yelling at the cat. When I got to the kitchen, John was studying his gingerbread men. “That darn cat was sitting on my cookies hut they’re okay. I can still take them.” Sure enough, the hair sticking to the cookies convicted the cat.
“You can’t take cookies the cat got on. There will be germs from the cat box. Throw them away.” I left him protesting. The next time I came through, the gingerbread men were gone. I was surprised he gave up so easily.
That evening he was in high spirits. “The kids loved the gingerbread men.” He said gleefully.
“Oh no! I told you to throw them away!” I returned.
“ I know but I got the hairdryer and blew the hair off. I passed them around in home room. After the kids started eating, I told them about the cat. Some of the girls were grossed out, especially when a girl found cat hair on hers!”

Good thing that happened way back when. These days, you’d never have surfaces from the law suits!

You would be surprised how often people do something similar. My friend had dumped a lasagna on the floor which she was serving for a group. I came in as she was debating whether to scoop it up and put it back in the pan and serve it anyhow. She had 2 cats and a dog at the time. I convinced her that she didn’t need it as she had another larger one. When people find an animal hair in food (especially those without animals) they won’t eat food at that person’s house again.

It would be wrong to expose anybody to that bacteria. Cat boxes are filthy and ofcourse cat feet!

You won’t get an argument from me! I’m a germaphobe. We don’t have a 5 second rule in this house. If something drops on the floor it goes into the trash.

We are both retired nurses. No floor food at my house. If suspect contamination, it goes!

hee hee – I guess nobody got sick from eating the cat cookies! Makes a good memory story!
Pets and mishaps! Once I made a birthday cake for my daughter. Left on the table, it was too tempting for our Basset Hound. She ate half of it. haha :)
