I was making peach pie, which calls for pats of butter on top of the filling before you put the top crust on. I mis-read the directions as 1 stick butter, (instead of 1 tbsp stick butter). That butter basically burnt right away, and made the kitchen fill with terrible-smelling smoke! My husband gamely tried to eat the pie anyway, til I told him he could just go ahead and throw it out. :D
