I screwed up big T versus little t for tablespoons and teaspoons a couple times when I was a kid. A tablespoon of baking soda (powder?) makes for terrible pancakes, and a tablespoon of salt gets you a loaf of bread that was completely inedible but made a very serviceable doorstop. I also took a run at fizzy lemonade once, lemon juice is an acid after all and it fizzed great when I added some baking soda. Adding a bit more sugar didn't help in the slightest. After I moved out I made the independent discovery that butter is quite flammable. I was making some kind of last minute Christmas treat and needed softened butter, throwing it in one of my metal measuring cups next to the lit burner I was using for some other step seemed like the expedient way to deal with the problem. The butter certainly softened. Then smoked. When I inevitable forget to pull butter out now I soften it on a plate next to the fireplace, with the plate being an innovation that came just a couple minutes too late the first time. No fire for that episode at least, just a horrible mess.
