Oh, I have a couple. Reaching for the balsamic vinegar I accidentally
grabbed the bottle of Worcestershire sauce. Hmmm, oh well, it was a
marinade so it really didn't matter.

I made polenta - cornmeal mush, basically - not to be chilled, sliced and
pan-fried, just polenta to serve along with pasta and sauce. My guests
(family members) thought it was couscous. Apparently it was a tad too
grainy, but since they exclaimed over the 'couscous' I didn't bother to
correct them
