Yesterday i decided to make apple crisp and peeled the apples cooked them in butter and sugar. Added the spices put the apples in the pan..Then i here the puppy gagging. I run into the room to see him throw up a baseball size wad of thread...OMG... on my new wool rug no less....:(...so i clean it up go wash my hands. And get back to the topping add it put the applecrisp in. It smelled great...but when i took it out and tried it i realized i forgot to but sugar in the topping.....i could have cried. My son inlaw happily took the whole pan and said "oh mom its ok , I will flip it upside down and put ice cream on it"...I get side tracked like this all the time...what is wrong with me?

The only thing wrong with you is you are human. We all do it.

Join the ranks girl!! And it just gets worse as you get older!!LOL

Nothing wrong with you. We all get in that situation now and then. I've done it too. In my case it's usually a cat and a hair ball. Yuck.

You have the same thing we all have. It's called life and sometimes it just gets in the way. Take it from me, it does not get any better as you get older but you just have to learn to roll with it. I have learned to laugh at the goofy things I do. I had to. If I didn't I would be crying all the time.

You just have to laugh it off... life happens :wink:

2 years ago I was mixing up a double batch of pumpkin bread, phone rings :roll: and I go back to making the bread. The next day, everyone grabs a piece of the bread and starts making faces... I forgot the sugar too LMBO It was REALLY bad... My nephews took it to give to their friends as a "gag" gift.... gotta love 'em :lol::lol::lol:

One time DH made cookies and used baking powder instead of baking soda, or vice versa - you know how they taste when you do that!!
Just so happened an encyclopedia salesman came to visit, he served the cookies to him and neither one said a thing.

If anyone said anything, I would just shrug and blame it on the dog.

I did...he just shouldnt interupt me....lol

Why do pets ALWAYS do that at the worst times, lol?

You should have just sprinkled the top with the sugar. No one would have known the difference since it was hot, it would have melted into the topping.

Don't get all stressed out over perfection, you need to enjoy life (even that puppy) and live it. Perfection is never going to happen in any of our lifetimes. I like your DSIL and I don't even know him, but he knows how to back down stressors. :-)

Two years ago for Thanksgiving dinner, I made my usual, pumpkin, apple, pecan and cherry pies but somehow I forgot the sugar in the pumpkin. It was inedible! Thank goodness I had lots of other pies.

Hey! you at least tried making one! and who needs all that sugar anyway(hehehehe) you did good, kid! and the ice cream probably did it wonders anyway.

diet apple crisp!

I made a cheesecake one year for my small quilt groups annual Christmas luncheon. When I took it out of the pan, a small piece fell off and I popped it into my mouth. Just like you, I forgot the sugar!!! Yuck! I called the Kraft help number but they told me there was no way to save it. Turned out to be an expensive mistake .... plus I had to make another one! Sorry to say I couldn't not blame my dog on this mistake. Ah yes, we humans sure can muck things up.

Too many irons in the fire. We all take on more than we can handle.

Okay, so you're human like the rest of us. Happens a lot...and I am not gonna fess up either. I'd have shared it with SIL and dumped some ice cream on top and liked it, I'll bet it was good.

Sounds like the time I got mad at my son's Boy Scout group who were having a party in our back yard and making home made ice cream in a crank-it container. They were playing keep away with boxes of red hots, sprinkling them all over the place. So I took them away from one smart mouthed brat (not saying who, but he has my DNA) and in anger tossed 6 or 8 whole boxes of redhots in the vanilla ice cream and then insisted they eat it. Turns out everyone loved it!!! Even me..sigh.

Read the recipe for the pumpkin dessert yesterday and knew I had the ingredients but short for sugar --no problem as I like less sugar. HUBBY walks into kitchen so I put dish in oven. Oh then I remembert I was to put in milk as you would do when making pumpkin pie. I poured some milk around the outside and mixed which totally ruined the whole idea of the recipe. Was edible but dry.
Relatives would have eaten it tonight but I FORGOT to take it with the jello dish. Thamks for the recipe.

I have done something similiar....like no flour in the cookies...:)
Could be menopause? I am getting so forgetful.

at least I know Im not the only one....lol

We all do it.
