Have you got a big veggie? Or many little frozen veggie pieces?

[conuly]

I picked up some chicken at a different store, which turned out to be $1 cheaper per pound anyway.

I am reliably informed that iguana tastes like chicken, and as a bonus you get 4 drumsticks :P

I have forgotten to put curry powder in coconut curry chicken. Yes, I cooked it that way. It was really good, but not curry.

Oh my.

Once I saw an episode of a baking show and one contestant forgot to add sugar to the brownies. The judges clearly were trying to be kind, but they all knew he was out.

My grandmother, distracted by 3 grandchildren under 5, forgot to put flour in the brownies. Best hot fudge sauce I ever tasted.

We've all had days like that.

That’s a source of great comfort.
