I must've missed this thread the first time around...lots of interesting stories!
It's nice to read here and know that I'm not alone in cooking troubles. haha
Several years ago, I tried making an Italian Cream Cake, something my mom makes often and well. It's three layers, and my screw-up was that I somehow forgot about the icing and put two layers together with nothing in between. We were able to get the top layer off okay to add the icing, luckily. My fear was that the layer would just crumble apart when we tried moving it.
And I get really mad at myself anytime I burn cookies, so much that I think I've become paranoid, and now my mom claims I try to take them out too soon. I like to notice people's various cookie preferences. My brother likes chewy soft cookies, what seems not fully cooked. My grandpa actually likes burnt cookies, so he's the savior when I burn any, because I know he'll eat them.

I had a cooking mishap, I ate a 2 inch think Delmonico too fast

"Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" So what’s the labyrinth? That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

A bacon tray will come in handy; also known, I believe, as a defrosting tray (I re-name things according to my own purpose  ):  ^ The fat drains into the grooves. Cover it with a microwaveable bowl.

It doesn't top DMC's grizzly misadventures with knives but a few months ago I was innocently making a can of Chef Boyardee ravioli or spaghetti & meatballs or whatever and cut my left thumb pretty badly trying to open the can. There was a profuse amount of blood everywhere and the gash took quite a while to heal. Needless to say I now employ greater caution while opening cans of Chef Boyardee and other canned foods. The exact thing happened to my son 3 1/2 years ago.And it was Chef Boyardee ravioli with the pop top for the microwave. My daughter told me that he was bleeding and he was fine until I took his hand, squeezed it and the blood squirted up. He got a few stitches, and couldn't play basketball for ten days. He actually played after 7 days because his team was in the playoffs. During the game, while dribbling the ball, the thick bandage came off. Realizing it came off, he started looking all over for it...while dribbling the ball the whole time. He finally found it, scoooped it up and only then did he pass the ball so he could put it back on. The doctor in the ER said that it was surprising the number of people who slice themselves opening those cans.

The one my son used was a pop top with a tab that you pop, like a can of soda, and then peel back. Yeah, I got cut on the same one. With a can of pop or beer though, the tab doesn't flip up with the same force and at the same angle as the Chef Boy can and that's why you really can't cut cut yourself while opening a cold one. The old Chef Boy cans didn't have the dangerous pop tops so they could be opened pretty easily with a decent can opener but the new ones all have the pop tops. Just a case of a company not being able to leave well enough alone.

There are two types of openers that I know of. The ones with a circular blade that make an incision on the tin are the dangerous ones. The ones which cleanly remove the top without making any cut are fantastic. I am using one such can opener for more than a year and it is one of the most satisfactory tools to use The one my son used was a pop top with a tab that you pop, like a can of soda, and then peel back. I use a can opener that cuts through the top, and then you twist the knob and it cuts around. How do you open the can without making any cuts? Even in mine, you need to twist the knob and it "cuts" around. But the cut is not the same as in regular opener.The teeth of the cutter are very fine (it is not that circular sharp disc). It removes it from the periphery of the top lid and you cannot even see the cut. My cutter is from "good cook" which you can get in walmart. It is impossible to get cuts from the partially opened tin with this opener. Good one: The dangerous/bloody version:
