yesterday i went out to my freezer to get what i thought was some dressing i had frozen. i usually mark everything & had a sticker on this but had failed to write anything on it. duh !! anyway i just knew it was dressing & i set it out to thaw. i didn't look in the bowl got busy doing something else. my grandson was coming over yesterday afternoon & i thought he might eat supper w/me.he loves dressing. thank heavens he didn't because after he left i went to get the dressing ready to bake & when i took the lid off it was chicken broth instead of dressing. i'll not say what i said, wasn't nice. i have a potty mouth anyway. sooooooo guess what i'm making today, u got it , dressing. do y'all do crazy things like that? tell me i'm not alone, please. lol.

No, I don't think you are alone. A couple evenings ago, I got hungry for lasagna. I took it out of the freezer. Turned on the oven and put it in. Needed 45 mins to be ready to eat. I turned on the TV and laid comfortably on my couch. You probably guessed it all ready... I had fallen a sleep, woke up 5 hours later, thinking I was suppose to be waiting for something. Then I got this weird smell in my nose and realized I had forgotten about my lasagna. Take care, have a nice day.

Thank-you. No, I skipped dinner that night. It was so early in the morning, I turned off the oven. Took out my burned lasagna, and found in the middle I still had two bites that I could eat. Two little bites. hahaha! That was all that was left of it. hahaha! Bye for know.

You are not alone. I'm younger but I do some goofy things too. But I wont mention it here, It's kinda private. Anyways, I think we all experience that kind of goofiness once in a while. Stay Happy always.

I have a cute story about my mom, she's always doing stuff like that! She went to Walmart the other day and when she got home she was looking at her receipt and it said SOFT CHEESE 11.99. She didn't remember buying cheese, didn't intend to buy cheese and could not find new cheese anywhere in the house. It bugged her so much that she went to Walmart with her receipt and went to customer service. She insisted she did not buy any cheese and was so sure about it they refunded her the money. She went into the cold room to grab some dog food the next day and it hit her - the dog's food is SOFT CHEESE and beef and she had indeed bought it during the same trip! She felt so bad about accidentally scamming Walmart and getting her money back that she went BACK to Walmart and insisted on (re)paying for it.

No, you are not alone. I have left water on the stove while doing something else, and come back to see that the water is all dried up and the pan is starting to glow. DUH!!! Then the ULTIMATE DUH MOMENT!!! I do it again at least 2 more times THAT SAME HOUR!!! I have done this not only once, but several times. Please someone tell me I'M not alone in this. I probably am. Oh well, oh no got to go check if I have any water on the stove... Oh good, nothing cooking tonight... Phew!!!

I really don't do too many goofy things around the house , except if I haven't much sleep or not feeling well. On the other hand my husband does enough goofy things to last me and him a lifetime!..hehe.. Like my husband almost always forgets and leaves out the shredded cheese when he's making pizza, I can't tell you how many times I have woken' up early in the morning and have found a very warm zip lock bag of shredded cheese on the counter top. My husband also like's to leave out the salad dressing bottle and I have thrown out MANY bottles of salad dressing because he forgets to place it back in the refrigerator the night before. Last night I woke up and went to the kitchen to get a drink of water and saw that my husband left a loaf of bread wide open on the stove ( not the cheap type of bread, the expensive grain bread)and boy did I get mad because I have a cat that loves to steal bread loafs and I don't like stale rock hard bread which will happen to bread if exposed to air too long.Luckily I found the bread before it got hard and before the cat sniffed his way on the stove to steal it, I just could imagine my cat jumping on the stove and slapping the open loaf of bread over onto the floor then jumping down to the floor and start chowing down on my expensive bread!( he's done similar stuff like that before- I wouldn't put it past him to do it again!)

Hi ANTIQUELADY I do goofy things all the time, so many that I would be here all day talking about them. I guess having young kids, a busy lifestyle and sleep deprivation does that to you!! Well not you so much but most certainly me. That is my excuse for doing goofy things and I am sticking to it!! LOL

I can't think of anything right off that I have done goofy lately. But I am certainly guilty of it too. And mine are not all food related either. So you are not alone.

No way your not alone every one has silly moments, me myself a few weeks ago bought some food then put it in the freezer the next day i took it out and put it in a tray ready to cook it. Then i put it in the oven and left it for half a hour. But i forgot to put the oven on!!!! So yeah i think it proves that everyone does silly stuff no matter how old they are.

I don't think that its crazy at all! I don't mark anything I put anywhere first of all. lol Once I threw a bag of lettuce in the freezer... well, that was no good, and a pint of ice cream in the fridge. I've put cat food in the fridge and cheese in the pantry and every other thing. Kind of like when I look ALL OVER for my glasses that my 2 year old daughter has to tell me they're on top of my head!! You're not alone... :o)

Well it's been awhile, but let me tell you what I did when one of my boys was just a babe! I used to make his formula up in a glass Mason jar and of course, set it in the fridge. Well, one day hubby was working on his car and needed something to squirt gasoline into the carburetor with and wanted my dishwashing liquid bottle. So I took all of the liquid and put it in a Mason jar and sat in near the sink. Now this was Ivory, so it was a milky looking substance. No, we're not making baby sick, I'll tell you guys that much to keep you from worrying!! We went on to bed and got up the next morning, seeing that Mason jar on the sink I was aggravated at myself for leaving the babys formula out all night. I picked it up kinda swished it around in the jar and boy was it thick, and ruined, it had to be to be that thick. Right down the drain went all of that milk!! LOL, it took a few hours before I was ready to do some dishes did I realize what I had done. It can't be age with that one, I was only 26!!
