i hate it when...

i hate it when ... you are making dinner and you miss a step and you ruin the whole thing. thats what happened last nite to me. i was trying to make my grandma's recipe of cheese soup that is really good and i missed the step where you cook the veggies completely before adding the cheese and thickening up the soup. the veggies were still crunchy and the soup was really liquidy. im hoping it can be saved, because i hate wasting food.
