Wow I've learned alot on how to fix my mistakes Thanks. After I married my husband in April he was sent to Okinawa and I couldn't follow since I was pregnant with our first, so when we got back together in April 18 mo later we moved to Ga. it was Thanksgiving our first and I was making his favorite Pecan Pie. We had company over for dinner everything went well Great Turkey and fixings but the pie took forever to get solid. Finally I took it out of the oven and let it cool. We couldn't cut it at all We broke it into pieces and sucked on the best pecan pie hard candy ever. I had forgotten to put the eggs in!!! Then there's the time my second oldest son decided to make peanut butter cookies (his favoritea) he met me at the door when I got home and said here mom taste this cookie. I took a bite and told him it was good then the salt in it kicked in and I had to spit it out. He put 3/4 a cup not 3/4 of a tsp. in it. They made balls out of it let then harden then used them to hit Crows in the back yard. The thing I like best about mistakes is the way it shows you what those ingredients are up to in a recipe. You'd never purposely say to yourself, "Let's try this pie without eggs and see what happens", no matter how curious you may be. So in a way the mistake is a bit of a happy circumstance, as long as you can treat it as a learning experience. Susan
