Not often. but then I am trained to avoid messing up. =)
NEVER believe everything you read online. A lot of people have very bad taste. =)
sorry you had this experience. Just break down and get a bottle. Who cares if you buy wine?
My sisters pastor got up church and told them that if anyone heard a rumor about him being in a liquor store it was probably true. His daughter-in-law and wife had sent him to pick up something they needed for a dish and the only place he could think of that was close that would have it was a liquor store. He did not even know what he was buying. He went in and told the clerk what he needed and had to take his word for it that it was the right stuff. But then he and his church are not uptight. conservative but not uptight.
When we were on staff at a UPC church in Memphis from 1980-1984, I worked for Xerox. I had to host all the big-wig parties and plan them all, because I was the personal assistant to the big boss. I had to do a Wine & Cheese party once, and I was mortified. I had to go in the liquor store and buy stuff that I didn't know ANYTHING about and I just knew that someone would drive by and see me and that my hubby would lose his job. LOL! But I survived and my boss always made sure I had a big Diet Coke to drink.
After taking a strong stand against alcohol, I could NEVER buy wine in the local grocery store. I wouldn't want anyone to think we were hypocrites, even though I would know it was just for cooking. Just better to leave some things alone, IMO. We are smack in the middle of the Bible Belt.

WELL then it is time to loosen the belt and stand more balanced on alcohol. =)
I understand you though.
Me? I would simply go buy a whole cart load and make sure they saw me do it. Just to cause trouble

I've had my share of disasters, but the best one in our family wasn't mine. I won't say whose, cuz I'd be in the dog house if she found out I posted it to the world, but: this anonymous lady was making chili. Hmmm. No chili powder in the pantry. No problem, my son tells her: cayenne pepper is the same thing, different name. So she subbed it, tablespoon for tablespoon.
Man, that was some hot chili! 5 alarm, at least! Coulda used that stuff as paint remover!
