I'm the dork that dropped an uncracked egg into the sink's drain yesterday and actually tried to pull it out! Needless to say, even though I knew it was going to crack I still did my best to get it out in one piece.

We buy eggs in 2.5 doz boxes which can be a little flimsy. I was rushing to get a cake in the oven and grabbed the box with one hand. Sure enough, it starts to bend and the eggs start dropping off and hitting the floor. I try to grab the other side with my free hand and hit the box instead. It flips out of both my hands and hits the floor. 36 eggs strewn across the floor.

I also set eggs on the stove to boil and forgot them. After awhile the water evaporates, the eggs overheat and explode. Smells gross and feels impossible to clean.

Oh, yeah. The smell of burned eggs tends to linger for a few weeks. Yech.

Not cake related, but wanted to share. I tend to just go on auto-pilot all the time w/o even noticing. The other day I got a roast out of the fridge and was going to throw it in the crockpot by itself. I was planning on using it to make Italian beef sandwiches. Well... next thing I know, I have the crock pot full of peeled potatoes, carrots, and onions... like I was making a roast with veggies! My mind was obviously wandering and I was on auto-pilot b/c the roast was supposed to be in there alone So... dinner menu changed

@Rose_N_Crantz OMG!!! I'm glad it was just practice. Adorable little buggers. Good thing they can't talk!!! spillin' all our dirty little secrets

@chassidyg Ahh!! Oh my goodness!! That is too Funny!!! I can just picture it now...

lol i did the same thing with an egg i thought it would be fine but my bowl moves on my mixer,, it was one of my da moments. ok with my back and making mm fondant, i lay a large clean blanket on the floor. use large bowl, have every thing i need, crisco, con sugar, everything ok ready, pour some powder into mm and dive in with hands ahhhhhh now, i live alone, well 1 tiny dog and a cockatoo, not much help. so i'm sitting there, probably better no one was there expecially my son, and anyway i'm just sitting there thinking you dummy, now what do i do, hands are just full, between fingers, you got the idea, didn't want to touch anything, if i touched the mm bag i'd mess up my amount's couldn't get up couldn't put my hands down so in some really weird way i finally got up think it was rolling over and using elbows, well turned out fine, hopefully i'll remember that disaster,

My Yorkie Story:

I had done a nice looking luggage cake with a dummy cake.. all covered in fondant.. all the details added... everything looking nice... I put it in the display shelf I have.... then one day I look and see that where the luggage dummy cake was... there now it stood a white rectangle... nothing NOTHING on it... as I wondered...

My Yorkie licked ALL the color from everything on it!!! now I have a white on white luggage cake lol

ps I almost called the dog pound to send her away for good lol

I've been so tired when baking, I put my cake pan in the fridge instead of the oven LOL, realized what I'd done when I got back to the other end of the house.

I've pulled some really goofy things (ie., forgetting the eggs, putting bizarre things in the fridge), but realized yesterday that I've really lost a few cells when the checkout girl yelled, "you forgot your stuff!!!". I was leaving the store w/ only my 3 year old and an empty cart. Gheez!! The guy behind me tried to make me feel better by telling me he'd done the same thing before. I thanked him for being so kind and grabbed my bags and tried to sneek out w/ my daughter saying, "Mommy, why did you forget the bags?!" as loudly as she could. LOL

I love threads like these -- especially when I need a good laugh!

I must have a angel yellow lab because she's never touched anything -- from food the lids leave on the coffee table (well in her grab and go range), to cookies/cake cooling on the counter, she won't touch it. I gate her out of the kitchen when I bake, but it's gotten so I just have to start getting the stuff out and she gets up and leaves the room! I've even forgotten that she's been in the car with groceries (including a beef roast), and come back to find her being as good as gold just waiting for me, nothing touched. -- However, it's not to says she hasn't had her moments - if it's in here territory (on the ground, the floor, etc.) it's fair game -- Learned this the hard way after she did a projectile technicolor yawn at the door while trying to ask to go out one night (yep, definetly needed a new rug there!) Couldn't imagine what she had gotten into but could tell it wasn't good while doing the nasty job of clean up. Did a walk around the yard to discover that a snowmobilier had left/dropped an entire bag of peanut m&m's on the trail that runs through our backyard. Nice!

I've had my share of brain dead moments but one of my favorites is when I was newely married I was trying to teach my DH how to make tuna casserole -- I carefully put in all the ingredients while he watched -- baked it, then as soon as I tooked the first bite I broke into laughter -- my DH looked at me puzzled until he tried it and realized what was wrong. -- I'd totally forgotten to put in the tuna! Not very appetizing to say the least!
