...I was at a church pot luck, I might have been 14, and I had just taken a bite of slaw when I had a sneezing fit.
Now I did get my hands over my mouth and nose in time.
But cheeze and crackers.
I was so embarrassed.
Ok. Your turn. This is intended to be a fun thread. Share your stories.
Let's laugh at ourselves.

I was like 10 when my aunt and uncle took me fishing for the first time. I caught a fish, my uncle got it off the hook, handed it to me and told me to "throw it back". I got some good distance on that fish.

We had company over just a few weekends ago. I was going to make goulash for lunch with home canned pasta sauce--only....
I grabbed a jar of salsa, instead.
That was some spicy goulash.
We were making pumpkin cookies one Christmas with my grandma. She grabbed the wrong spice. My cousin and I were rolling on the floor in tears unable to tell her she had used chili powder instead of cinnamon
I was making a mousse cake thing once, and the recipe called for 3 tablespoons of milk and a cup of something.
Well, my dyslexic brain saw 3 cups of milk.
I had mousse everywhere.

The time my mom accidentally used vanilla yogurt instead of plain yogurt in her savory chicken casserole was pretty memorable. We all took one bite and then we decided to go out for dinner.

I did that with meatloaf, my first meatloaf. It was soupy loaf.
Milk seems to be my downfall. I used to have gallon jugs of water in the fridge, used it to make my coffee. One early morning a grabbed the jug and fill up the coffee maker, only it wasn't water, it was milk.

The first time I was having DH over, I was making curry and cheesecake for desert. The curry was horrid. He tried to eat it, but I took one bite and knew it all needed to be thrown away. My oven broke while the cheesecake was only half done. I had to run it over to my friend's oven to finish cooking. It turned out good and we had a good laugh.
He still asked me out for another date, and I now make awesome curry - it just took some practice.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
When DH & I were dating, he came over for dinner. It was impromptu. He worked near my house, said he wanted to see me, I was making dinner, so I asked if he had eaten. As I was taking the salmon off the pan to plate it, it dropped on the floor. We looked at each other and said, "5 second rule" at the same time and I picked it up and plated it. We ate it. But every time I make that salmon recipe I'm reminded of that time, and we still say, "whew, made it" when I get it on the plates.
One of the first times my sister cooked dinner for her now husband, she burned the garlic bread and set off the smoke detector.
I had just started dating this guy not long before Valentine's Day. So we decided to stay in and I said I would cook. I made a wonderful dinner (if I do say so myself) and cheesecake for dessert. Except, the cheesecake wouldn't set. It tasted awesome, but it was more like pudding.
Then there was the time I got wax paper and parchment paper mixed up. Nothing like having all your doors and windows open in December. In Indiana.
When I was about 13 my family was at the beach & decided to ride the bumped boats. I couldn't control mine & just sat spinning in a circle. My whole family just sat & watched laughing hysterically. I don't think anybody bumped anybody.
