I thought I was going to do something quite wonderful for the family yesterday. I bought this humongous pork roast on sale a few day ago with canning it in mind. So I thawed it out and commenced to cutting it up in chunks to put into pint-size jars. I was merrily hacking away and my knife suddenly came to a grinding halt. I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS THING HAD A BIG BONE RUNNING RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF IT!
I cut off as much meat as I could but I only ended up with 5 measly pints. I still have the big bone with meat that I couldn't cut off without running the risk of injury (I'm really paranoid of cutting myself) sitting in the fridge. I guess I'll boil it and make some soup. My lesson learned: Check the label and make sure there isn't a bone in it before buy!!!
(I've actually done a lot of stupid prepping mistakes but this was the most recent one lol!)
So......what's been yours? Remember we can learn from each other's mistakes!
