This Week's Silliest Mistake?

Today, I went to make myself a cup of Gravy, in the kitchen, got an empty cup, put 4 teaspoonfulls in, and stirred for the appropriate time.

Only as I poured it on my Yorkshire Pudding did I realise that I'd made it with coffee powder instead of my Bisto granules.

(Not too bad tasting though!)

Can you beat that?

Dozy old B!

I'd stick with using the coffee before I'd use Bisto.

I love toast topped with mashed banana. I usually sprinkle some cinnamon powder on top but, one morning, I picked out the jar of cumin instead - different - but, as you said, ST, it was a mistake I haven't made since.

Re: This Week's Silliest Mistake?

Poor you, Ted. I did something similar a while back.

l had two jugs. One with custard powder mixed with cold milk waiting to have the hot milk added. The other with the gravy granules mixed with the water from the vegetables.
l tipped the sediment from the meat into the custard powder mixed with milk? Instead of tipping it into the gravy liquid.

When you’re doing so much at once, it’s easily done.

Re: This Week's Silliest Mistake?

It's easily done, How many times have I picked up the kettle, opened the lid to add water from the tap after already boiling some water already to warm the teapot, Yep, tipped the boiling water out of the teapot, ready to put my Yorkshire Tea Bags in, only to plop them into the open lidded kettle instead!

How about playing backgammon late at night after several whiskeys. Dropping the dice into my glass instead of the shaker box and drenching my wife with a nice Jack Daniels.

Re: This Week's Silliest Mistake?

I have put coffee in my cup, gone off and started something else, then come back and put a tea bag on top of the coffee and poured the water on.
An interesting taste!
