when me and my sister were little my grandmother gaves us milk, but we refused to drink , she had put salt in the milk

One time many years ago i made bechamel sause but turn a little lumpy and i end up putting the sause in a blender thinking will fix it quick .... it didn't move a lot so i thought to help this with a wooden spoon some part of the spoon got chopped had to make the sause again.

I have never been a good cook, and still really struggle with eating anything I have prepared

When I was younger, during a cooking class, I was so upset at how my pizza had turned out, I put coins in the oven and watched the oven blow up.

I have no respect or interest in cooking. I can't even make toast without burning it

We did have two cooking mishaps..

Mine was that, I added a half cup of honey to the corn bread mix and totally forgot that it is a humectant and made the muffin super moist..

So much so that when you take the skirt off, it falls apart.. but it was awesome.. lol

Now that I think of it, I think the issue might've been that my oven cooked unevenly.. as exactly half the muffins fell apart and the others didn't. All the muffins were fully cooker though.

My husband's cooking mishap was arguing with me over HOW WE WERE GOING TO MAKE MY MOM'S BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE!

Yes, this man is so stubborn that he decided to argue with me over how were were going to make my Mom's macaroni and cheese. MY MOM.

Not his Mom, but MY MOM, as in, the woman who put me on this Earth and raised me.

He wanted to use bechemel, I wanted to use Campbell's Condensed Cheddar Cheese soup instead.

So I decided to compromise and let him use bechemel, since he did compromise with me on the baked ziti when I wanted to mix shredded cheddar parm cheese in with the mozzarella and Italian cheese blend for it.

The result was that I was right about both.

The bechemel method for the mac came out good, but it was not as cheesy as it would have been with the soup. My mom had posted the recipe once on our Telegram chat, but somehow it got lost and I had to look up part of a baked mac recipe online and the original called for 2 eggs as a binder. The baked mac and cheese came out good.. but it would be better if we had used the soup and left out the eggs.

So that is what we'll do next time for Christmas..
