Swedish meatball fail

Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.

When I was 15 years old, I tried to make dinner for my family and my boyfriend. If I remember correctly, it was the first time I tried to cook a meal. I had a recipe book and chose Swedish meatballs for the occasion. I spent over 45 minutes rolling the meatballs, and then I put them into the oven to bake while I cooked the wide, flat noodles.

Then I set the table for dinner and tied up all but one loose string. I called everyone in for dinner . As I served the meal It finally hit me, the one string that I hadn’t tied up. The one piece of the recipe that was missing was the sauce. That night, we dined on wide flat noodles with butter and baked dry meatballs that were decidedly not Swedish in any possible way.
