The year in errors

Kottke points to a funny collection of media mistakes. (and a last year's collection)

The year in errors Norma Adams-Wade's June 15 column incorrectly called Mary Ann Thompson-Frenk a socialist. She is a socialite.

I guess the NY Post didn't get the memo, or else Ms. Mortimer really is a socialist.


And if you made all these recipes as originally written: het-damn, what a fracking fun party! Drunk on vodka, mouth (and bowels) on flame, and queasy nervous energy from eating nearly raw beef.

A correction in this column Thursday about a June 14 Taste section recipe for French coconut pie incorrectly suggested that the recipe called for a pint of vodka.

In Wednesday's Taste section, a Washington Post recipe on Page F7 included an incorrect cooking time for carbonada (braised beef with onions and red wine). The dish should be cooked for 2 1/2 hours, not 10 to 20 minutes.

Because of an editing error, a recipe last Wednesday for meatballs with an article about foods to serve during the Super Bowl misstated the amount of chipotle chilies in adobo to be used. It is one or two canned chilies, not one or two cans.


and you could have this for desert:
A recipe in the Entrée section Sunday for Mr. C’s Bread Pudding misstated the length of time for baking the pudding. The recipe calls for baking it for 40 minutes, not 540 minutes.

Plenty more fun
