Took me 45 minutes to figure out why my hollandaise kept breaking

Turns out I was using a bowl that was still warm from the dishwasher and it cooked the yolks before the butter even went in. Anyone else ever waste a whole pint of cream because of a dumb equipment oversight?

Happens to the best of us though, right? I swear half my cooking time is spent chasing small mistakes like that.

Funny you mention that, this one time I left a whole bag of flour open on the counter while I went to answer the phone. Came back and my cat had walked through it and left little flour paw prints all over the kitchen floor and cabinets. Took me longer to clean that up than it did to actually make the cookies I was trying for.
