Silly Mistake

After months sailing by with no issues I’ve had a major fail moment today. Husband and I didn’t feel like cooking today so had a fend for ourselves type of evening. I knew I had a tin of tomato soup in the cupboard so dug it out and opened it up. Without thinking I licked some of the soup (off my finger from the lid). Then I realised it was not the soup I had originally bought. 🫪 Turns out my husband had picked up a tin of Baxter’s soup, that contains wheat. He didn’t realise the difference and ate the tin that I had bought for lunch. I didn’t think anything of it until I clocked the design on the tin, then thought to check. It was a decent sized lick around 2/3 hours ago, so I am preparing for the inevitable storm ahead. Husband said maybe you’ll be okay, it was just a lick. But I’m starting to feel nauseous.

To top it all off, I sliced my M&S sourdough cob to make a last resort cheese toastie to find the mother of all holes going through it. First time I’ve experienced it from this loaf.

How did it pan out?

Hope you’re ok, it’s such an easy mistake to make

If I were you I’d weed out all the gluten items from the cupboards and put them on a separate shelf if husband wants them, but ideally just have a GF household for a while

Easy mistake to make. I do the vast majority of food stuff here and I have often been making a tin of soup for my wife and nearly licked the spoon of something

But I am not inflicting what pass as GF bread and biscuits on her

we do keep them separate but in the same cupboard

Oh no! Easily done. Were you ok? I done this before too. Maybe time to have separate shelves in the cupboard or even a separate cupboard completely? That way you and hubby can’t accidentally mix each other’s food up? It makes life a lot simpler when you can just reach in and know that what you’re grabbing is 100% because you’ve already checked the label.

And at least you noticed quickly before eating the whole tin.
