So, I started preparing dinner at like 4:15pm this afternoon, trying to be a good wifey to have it done by the time my hubby got home, and the main dish was going to be "Super Easy Chicken Enchiladas"! These are so yummy & truly very easy to make! But in my haste to make this meal without dawdling I grabbed what looked like (see picture) the can of Diced Green Chilies and dumped the whole thing (which I'm suppose to) into the sour cream sauce. As I am assembling my chicken enchiladas, the last step before the oven, some of the sauce got onto my finger, so I did what every cook does; I licked it! And OOOOOHHHH my was that sauce SPICY!!!! I was like, "what the..." (and "heck" was really the word that popped into my mind for you bad word thinkers-ha ha!). So I added some more sour cream (but ran out) and some cream of chicken but still so SPICY. Then I thought that I should look at the can, and WAAAMO! JALAPENOS, not chilies! Ha ha! It was not funny at the time-but hilarous now. I had to call my hubby and send him to the store on his way home from work so he could pick up more sour cream so I could make a whole new batch of sauce. So, to make a long story short...(finish that quote and name that movie) dinner was totally not ready by the time Marc came home & I learned that it might help to look and read the labels when cooking!!! Has anyone else done something like this, or is it just me?!!! LOL!

Jalapenos or Chilies?

That is so funny! You'd think the packaging would be different!
uh, yeah, i do that kind of thing far too often! seriously!
Oh, I have a good one. For some reason my mom never cooked with garlic so I wasn't sure how to either.
After I got married I invited another couple over for Easter dinner - you know, ham, garlic potatoes, etc. The recipe called for five cloves of garlic. As I added piece after piece of the garlic to the potatoes I thought, gees, this is sure a lot of garlic.
Did you know what I called a "piece" is really a clove and a "clove" is a bulb. Yeah, that's right. I added FIVE BULBS of garlic to my potatoes. Needless to say we have not had a vampire problem since.
Laurie, that is so funny! LOL!! And dang, that's a lot of garlic!
That is pretty funny. Why do they make those cans so similar looking?!
