Spill something? Ruin something? Burn something?

What’s the worst cooking or baking mistake you’ve ever made?

I’ll tell you mine – and maybe Mom’s and Grandma’s – if you tell me yours.

OK, a few – no, many – of mine.

Spill something? Ruin something? Burn something?

Was fire involved? Actual flames?

As long as you survived, no one or nothing was (seriously) hurt – except for maybe your ego – why not share your funniest or most embarrassing moment in the room everyone gravitates to during parties: the kitchen?

Nobody’s perfect – from home cooks to top chefs. Everyone’s invited to share their best worst faux pas – or four.

Look for details in Wednesday’s Spokesman-Review section.

And, as always, find a few food-related morsels in the weekly Fresh Sheet feature.

Meantime, put your thinking colanders on. Can’t wait to see what stories you all have to share!

Cheers!
