"It is nice to know that everyone else has things that do not turn out picture perfect every time! Some of the food media sets very high expectations for home cooks.

Aside from the usual failed recipe, fire in the oven stories, my worst involves baking - kind of. Hubby and I were moving so most of the stuff in the fridge got tossed, except my precious sour dough starter. I put in in a sealed jar, packed in a box and put it in the trunk of our car so it would travel with me and not the movers.

Hubby puts a few more things in the trunk and closes up. We drive to new house and start directing the movers. Several hours later, the fridge is running and I open the trunk to get my starter.

Somehow in the packing, slamming, drive, the jar got broken and the starter had fermented into the carpet for 4 hours. (oh, did I mention this was August in North Carolina and it was 90+ outside?). We never did get the smell out."

Glad you're home safe. It's always good to see you! (next time, throw your car battery on your solar charger?)

You know that bolt had to exist. No project vehicle ever has entirely matching fasteners. The only question was whether it would happen now, or the first time you were broken down on the side of the road with only your metric toolkit.
Looks like you got lucky. :)
