Not quite. Gumbo was not on the menu. I was trying to make chicken soup. Considering that I had already made the soup and canned it last fall, it should have been a no-brainer. Right out of the jar, it was a little bland. Unfortunately, by the time I was done adding vegetables, and underestimating the amount of water the rice would soak up, and generally not paying attention until it was time to eat...we didn't have soup anymore. Whoops: that shouldn't have happened.
Marketers rejoice: a little rebranding and poof! Dinner is a win again.
I recently read a Forbes article about this very topic. Everyone makes mistakes, but converting those mistakes into opportunities is a valuable skill. It's useful in the workplace and the kitchen, and a whole host of other places.
Keep your eyes out for these chances. One way to be prepared is to think though the worst-case scenario for your actions and decisions. If the worst case happens, you're ready. If not, you're still prepared to bounce back from anything that did not go quite as you had planned.
