Favorite kitchen disasters 1: "I once dropped a whole..."--what?

…months wages when chef welded my roast chicken to the oven.
He lacked the discipline to heed the warning & so was fired, unsurprisingly.

I dropped 5 chicken grills in the deep fryer, when I worked at A&W as a young adult. I was told that the name chicken grill was meant for the grill and not the fryer.

A bottle of Amaretto mysteriously fell off a top shelf in the pantry one tumultuous night when our son was a toddler. Sticky Amaretto and broken glass is not fun to clean up!

I dropped 2 liters of milk when I was 5 years old. I got mad and stomped on it with my shoes. We didn’t have milk that week.

I dropped a bowl of cereal and milk last year. I don’t care what people say about spilled milk, I wanted to cry. :(

The summer I was 17, I worked at a conference center as a waitress in a family style dining room. Dinner was wrapping up, so I started to clear the table before bringing out dessert. Probably from working too quickly, a lone meat cutlet topped with tomato sauce and a slice of cheese slid off of the serving platter and into a woman’s open hand bag that was on the floor between her chair and my work station.

A two pound glass jar of honeyonce slipped out of my hands. Glass and honey were everywhere, it took days to get it all the way cleaned up. It was winter in a poorly heated house.

But the time I dropped a bottle of vanilla extract wasn’t so bad, it was in the spring and the house smelled yummy all during the heat of summer!

@Pied_Pfeffer, did you tell her? Or just let her have a little surprise later? :-)

I also , when I was 5 years old, spilled a whole super sized coke from McDonald’s resteraunt. The clerk gave me a replacement for free.

Roaster pan full of party mix. My dog at the time dove for it!

@canidmajor I don’t recall how it played out, as in who picked up on it first, but I have never had a poker face. I do remember picking it out with a napkin.

Wendy’s just started having salad bar when I started working there. I was in charge of the salad bar my second or third day. After lunch I was dashing about to restock everything and clean goop out of the ice.
I was bringing out a full crock of bleu cheese dressing, and apparently whoever had filled it slopped some over the side. It was slimy and slid right out of my hands. Crock shattered.

Some people are opposed to the smell of bleu cheese, I guess.

I was draining meatloaf and I tilted the pan too far. The meatloaf fell onto the floor.

Had guests for dinner and while they were seated in the dining area beside the kitchen they witnessed the roast sliding onto the floor as I took it out of the oven. I quickly apologized and rinsed off the roast in case ( my floors were very clean).
In a very short while we all had a big laugh over it.
