Holiday Cooking Disasters

I've been inspired to blog by reading the blogs I regularly stalk follow. With Thanksgiving fast approaching, the Season of Binging is about to be upon us. I would love to hear about cooking disasters that others have had. I'll go first: I was home from Auburn for Christmas and needed to bake cookies to take to a SS Christmas party. I was feeling quite creative and had always seen sugar cookies with silver dragees on them. My mother didn't have any of those in the pantry, so I raided my brother's room and used the next best thing-BBs. I mean, they look identical, right? Luckily, my parents came home and saw the BB box on the counter and stopped me before I inflicted lead poisoning on the College and Career class of First Baptist Church. This little debacle earned me the nickname of BB. In my defense, I didn't know those darn dragees were edible-I'd always picked them off cookies!

Anyone else have a horrible cooking mishap to share?
