I’ve kind of been picking on Mel today, and now I feel bad about it, so I am going to try to make up by sharing my bagel fail from a few weeks ago. The Facebookers already know about it, though I don’t think I went into great detail, not that I plan on it now either. LOL
So, I fixed a bagel for breakfast one morning. Someone had messed with the toaster, and the bagel didn’t get toasty like I wanted but I didn’t have time to wait on a second toasting. I got out the cream cheese, because I like cream cheese on, well, bunches of stuff, but particularly on bagels. I had no idea how long it had been in the fridge, so I checked the date, and it expired that day. I remember now it was Feb 28. HAHA. Anyway, as I knifed out the cream cheese, it seemed a bit thin. I made a mental note and pressed on with spreading it on my bagel slices.
I started eating it as I got about 2 houses down from my house on the way to work. That’s when I realized it didn’t taste right as if it had started to sour, and made a mental note to either get more or use butter next morning. But, soured or not, rotten or not, I was eating my bagel, and waited to see how long it would take to get sick.
Surprisingly (I thought at the time) I didn’t get the least bit sick, and proceeded to forget about the morning’s mental notes. After supper, I was having a craving for something sweet and went through the fridge trying to will some dessert to appear, when I noticed the box. The cream cheese box was the one I noticed first, and then it hit me. “Oh, I am stupid!” The cream cheese, which was Philadelphia Cream Cheese in the gray box, was sitting behind the white sour cream box.
In retrospect, knowing what I had really eaten, sour cream isn’t all that bad on a blueberry bagel.
:rofl2:
:rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:
Oh DL, you crack me up soooooooooooooo much. I was trying to figure out how you confused cream cheese and sour cream, because I buy cream cheese in the little square packages, then i remembered they also sell it in round tubs, LOL.
Anyway, you can pick on me anytime because then that gives me the right to pick on you again later. :laughatu:
:rofl2:
Yeah, but at least your goof didn’t turn out any worse.
I remember once sitting at the table and watching my great grandmother reach for the Hershey’s syrup to put some in her glass of milk. Only she didn’t grab the bottle of chocolate syrup, she accidentally the bottle of ketchup instead.
Blueberry bagel with sour cream is doable.
Ketchup milk is not. In any way. :laughatu:
HAHAHA! Well, on that note, I have been known to put lotion in my hand instead of soap when intending to wash my hands, and have put hand soap on my toothbrush before. :cheesy:
:laughatu:
Maybe I DON’T have chemo brain, maybe I’m just getting older too.
Maybe. :rofl2:
:haha: cute!..gotta try that recipe for breakfast girl!!
I am always glad when some good can come from my fails. :cheesy:
Got a challenge up at my place, if you’re interested.

Haha, that’s a funny story. Glad the bagel was alright as a cousin that bit into stale bread was sick for days one time. I remember when I was a kid, I once tried a new ice cream and it wasn’t sweet enough for me. So I think I’m gonna sweeten it up and reach for the sugar jar but since they weren’t labeled, I grabbed the salt jar instead. Needless to say, I didn’t finish that ice cream.
