I have some I can share. I remember when I was younger, I was going to bake cookies. The instuctions said to place the dough on the cookie sheet. I didn't know what a cookie sheet was, so I pull out a roll of waxpaper and stretch that across the baking sheet I originally had. I stick it in the oven only to hear the sound of fire alarms going off seconds later.
I also remember this, and it happened this summer!
We have blackberry bushes going near us in the woods. They're tons of them. I love muffins more than anything and had decided to make muffins later that day. I picked about two cups with my younger brother after getting stabbed with thorns and came back.
The muffins were made, and I'm all excited. It's just than I realize, I forgot the baking powder. The muffins don't rise and it tastes like hard bread. It wasn't that bad actully, and they all dissapeared in the end.

When I was younger, my aunt made turtle brownies quite a bit. Actually not the turtle brownies you get in the box, but two boxes of regular choc. brownies with caramel melted and sandwiched between the two already prepared layers of brownie. Anyway, she forgot the eggs one day. It came out thin as paper. We cut it into strips and ate it anyway. We loved it and called it "tree bark."
The thing is that it was good and you didn't realize how much you were eating. Five minutes later it hit your stomach really heavy. So we decided that whenever we were going to have a party to keep this in mind for later on in the night. Offer the "tree bark" to the people who would not leave. They will want to leave in 5 minutes. xd
We never actually offered it to anyone though, just a thought.

This story shows that i do not get my skills from my fathers side of the family.
One time, my grandmother was visiting from Florida. She could not cook to save her life. She tried boiling some water for tea, and first overfilled the pot, the she left it there to long and burned it whee ....then she tried to make a sandwich from some canned tuna, And it was seriously like eating a charred book....very bad....

I remember the first time I tried to make a smore at home. I had the gram crackers and marshmellow right and all I needed was some barly melted chocolate. So I popped in a bar of Hersey's chocolate without taking off the shiny part of the wrapper. I was home alone, that is why no one stopped me. When the candy caught on fire I was so scared that I didn't do anything! Lucky for me, that mean the fire ran out of oxygen soon and the candy was ruinned. I cleaned up the mess and threw out the rest of the smore. I must confess, I lost my taste for smores on that day. xd

Ahh... here's my old cheesecake recipe story.
Well, it all started when I found a recipe for a caramel cheesecake. I wanted to make it, and after realizing my uncle would be coming over the next day, decided it would be a perfect opportunity to do so.
Oddly enough, many of the instructions didn't make sense. Things like putting the caramel right on top, instead of swirling it, or covering the cake in aluminum while baking, and it also called for a water bath.
So, not realizing the use, I, sadly, left those parts out.
Well, the caramel bubbled in the oven, and dripped to the bottom. We had smoke in our house for hours. Obviously, this wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t left those parts out. Sometime, you can’t use your intuition, just gotta follow instructions I guess.
Never the less.... the cake turned out quite good. Kinda smoky though.

I remember this one time my Mom, Dad, step-mom, sister, and aunt got together and we were having this little cookout in our backyard... I was little, so I decided to help and make lemonade. I made it, and when we sat down my mom picked it up and smelled it she said is smelled fishy. Then my sister piped in and said she'd dumped fish water into one of the pitchers in the kitchen. I think I cried.. I was so mad at her. >_>
