Apocalypse Bloopers: Share Your Funniest Prepping Fails!

Was up to my elbows in peaches the other day, decided to try that old recipe for peach preserves my grandma always swore by. Now, I usually wear my trusty rubber gloves, but thought, "Nah, this time let’s go au naturel!" Guess who didn't notice the giant rip in the bag of pectin until it was too late? Yup, yours truly! Ended up with a kitchen floor that resembled a sticky, sugary beach more than anything else.

After a solid hour of cursing and cleaning, all I had to show for my efforts was one single jar of preserves and the lingering smell of peaches haunting my house. Yet I call it a success, cause now I know exactly how NOT to make preserves. And hey, at least my kitchen floor is spotless now!

So c’mon, spill the beans (or pectin!) - what’s your funniest prepping mishap? Ever botch up a crucial part of your stock

Sticky peach apocalypse, huh? Well, my homemade compost bin, turned smelly volcano, gives that a run for it’s money! Ever tried cleaning exploded compost off your garage wall?
 
Peach pectin and compost volcanoes? Makes my dehydrated kale chips tasting like cardboard seem pretty tame. Anyone got a good dehydrator recipe to share?
