Today, after 30 minutes of pre-heating the oven to make a special meatloaf for my husband's birthday, I remembered that I had hidden the cake in there. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I baked a cake for when my mum came home. I did everything I needed to do and put it in the oven, set the timer and went to do some things around the house. When my mum came home, she asked why there was a uncooked cake mix sitting in the oven. I forgot to turn the oven on. FML
Today, I baked a cake. After feeding it to my entire family, I opened the stove, planning to temporarily store the cake inside. I then noticed a mouse, burnt to a crisp. FML
Today, I wanted to pack my lunch with some of my homemade meatloaf leftover from last night's dinner, but I couldn't find it anywhere in my fridge. Later in the evening, my boyfriend's parents invited us over for dinner. They served meatloaf. The meatloaf they stole from my fridge last night when they visited. FML
Today, I bought a cake. I then immediately forgot what I was carrying, opened the door to my car, and tossed the bag into the back seat. FML
Today, I got up at 5 am to bake a surprise birthday cake for my 16-year-old son. I put the cake on the table and went to call my son. "Surprise!" When I came back 30 seconds later, the cake was all gone and the dog was licking his lips. My son won't even believe I made a cake. FML
Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML
Today, I spent hours baking a multi-layered, detailed cake from scratch for my mom's birthday. It took two seconds for my dog to devour the cake while I picked up a spoon I dropped on the floor. FML
Today, I took an IQ test and ended up scoring above average. Feeling good about myself, I decided to bake some cookies. After 30 minutes of them not doing anything in the oven, I realized I forgot to turn the oven on. FML
Today, while house sitting, I went to take my pizza out of the oven, not realizing that the oven mitt had a hole in it. FML
Today, I learned where my mom's "special hiding spot" that I'll "never find" for the Halloween chocolate is, when I preheated the oven to make cookies. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This reminds me of the time my baby brother and I were playing Hide-and-Seek, and he was hiding in the oven, but it was also my wife's birthday, so I preheated the oven to make a cake, and I'd rather not finish the rest of the story.

YDI, could you not have found a better place to hide a CAKE than an oven...? Smooth.

Happens all the time. My mom left a bag of peaches in the oven, preheated the oven, and opened it to find some pretty mushy, burnt globs of peach jelly.

what kind of oven needs to pre heat for 30 mins? mine doesn't need to pre heat at all.... Do you have a really old gas oven?

Your oven needs to preheat for most things; you just don't know how to use it properly.

Nope my oven doesn't need any pre heating, I can put things in the cold oven, turn it on and cook them for the exact time in the recipie and they will be perfectly done.

Yeah I was wondering the same.. 30 minutes seems a bit too long.. my oven takes at most 7 or 8 minutes to get to desired temperatures, if I set it higher (but often I'll do as you said and just put it in there frozen from the start and add a few minutes since the heating time sorta counts as cook time)

Agreed. Even if you're making frozen mozerella sticks that came from a bag it'll say preheat to 325 or something.

I don't think she meant that it needed to be preheated for 30 minutes in order to cook properly... I think she just meant that she had it turned on for 30 min. She could have been doing something during that half hour. Maybe she was assembling the "special" meatloaf :P I mean, that's what I do. Turn the oven on, then start to actually make the food. That way, once you're done making it, you can just immediately pop it in the oven, and not wait for it to heat up.
