Had a cursed baking Tuesday last month that still haunts me

I decided to make 3 different things in one day: chocolate chip cookies, a pound cake, and cinnamon rolls. The cookies spread into one giant puddle, the pound cake sank in the middle, and the cinnamon rolls came out like hockey pucks. I wasted about $25 worth of butter and eggs in one afternoon. Has anyone else had a day where nothing, not even your go-to recipes, worked out?

Totally feel your pain, I had a day like that last year where I tried to make my grandma's banana bread from scratch and it came out as a dense brick. I forgot the baking soda and then burned the second batch so bad the smoke alarm went off for twenty minutes. Honestly, after that I just ordered pizza and called it a win.

oh man, the banana bread saga... I had a similar thing happen but with cookies. tried to make my mom's chocolate chip recipe and I must have misread the flour amount because they came out looking like little hockey pucks. not even the dog would eat them, and he eats anything. then I tried to salvage them by smashing them up and turning them into a pie crust but that just made a mess in the blender. ended up getting fast food at 10pm and pretending the whole thing never happened...
