I learned today that's why chorizo always has eggs in it. The milk and eggs cut through the salt.
Don't skip any prep steps anons

wow I guess I'm the only one & no one has ever accidentally messed up their dish before this

not reading all that, however
>christmas eve mid 20s
>nearly out of food, have enough for a breakfast scramble
>grabbing garlic powder for scrambled eggs
>shake it down
>it wasnt garlic powder
>suddenly realize I have put cinnamon in my eggs
>cook it anyways as its the only food I have
it was okay, I would never make it again, but not inedible

I was reheating a sauce with sugar in it and the sugar burned before the sauce was heated so I killed myself.

>new to baking
>made a few loafs, wanted to try something else
>bauernbrot bread
>preparing takes days
>recipe recommends placing a container of water in the oven during baking so it steams and adds moisture
>put the water in a glass bowl
>set the bowl above the bread
>in minutes, while the dough was still soft and maleable, bowl shatters into fine pieces over the bread
>had to throw it all away because fine pieces of glass were layering the top and weren't coming out with just a rinse
