What’s the last cooking mistake you made that you still regret?

I put shrimp cocktail sauce into my organic tomato and cabbage soup because I had some left over and I do not believe in wasting food. It made my soup taste synthetic, unhealthy, and fake, and I feel like I bought those organic tomatoes for nothing, but everyone makes mistakes when they are learning a new skill.

When my wife and I had just started dating, we were going to go out to dinner and then to a movie. She got stuck in traffic and got to my place very late, too late to do both dinner and a movie. She had to eat something, so I quickly threw together some tacos. She hated them, said they had no flavor. To this day, she refuses to eat anything I cook.

I was in a hurry this one time and my mind wasn't fully paying attention, and I must've not fully read the directions.

I was making pork chops and stuffing in the crockpot. I made the stuffing first then added it to the crockpot - you weren't supposed to make the stuffing first.

It was awful!

It came out a mushy mess.

I feel this so much 😅
My last real regret was overloading a delicate miso ramen with a very smoky chili oil I was testing. The broth went from subtle and soulful to harsh and bitter. I’d simmered the dashi for hours, like when I first learned in Tokyo, and ruined it in ten seconds.

Your shrimp cocktail moment is just part of the adventure 🍤🥣
