What have you done that served you right?

It reminds me of the time that I went out for a Christmas meal at a carvery. I was greedy with what I thought was bread sauce, putting it all over everything only to discover on eating that it was horseradish, which I absolutely hate!

First jersey royal of the season, sneaked straight from the pan, standing by the hob - big blob of butter - severely burned tongue and big blob of butter on really nice jumper. blush

Yesterday we had the whole family over- 5 adults & 6 children & I cooked 2 lamb shoulders with all the trimmings, Mary Berry's sticky toffee pudding & Chrishappy's gorgeous white chocolate & mango cheesecake (see food forum). All really delicious & we took a day off from our low carb regime.There was a little(ish) bit of toffee pudding left & some sauce too.
As I was clearing up I thought- I'll just have that last bit for my breakfast tomorrow morning & then it is back to low carb diet.
This morning I dished it up & put a large helping of the sauce over it & sat down to enjoy. I really should have looked more carefully as sticky toffee pudding with lamb gravy is not the best combination of tastes!
My DH is still laughing.Actually rolling about in hysterics is nearer the truth.
Wait until he realises that the gravy was going to make the basis of the shepherd's pie(with cauliflower mash) that I had promised for dinner tonight!!

I know it served me right so come on- fess up- what have YOU done??
