Spice mix-up.

Last weekend I was making some southwestern bean soup with a new twist - I added in kidney beans as well, in addition to pinto beans - and I had put in chili powder and then a ton of cumin, when I went to taste the broth and the soup tasted sweet.

Then, I realized I had grabbed the spice bag of ground coriander by mistake.

So, I scooped a lot off the surface with a spoon, then I put in the cumin and a lot of pepper, to disguise any residual coriander taste.

And since I always cook in big batches since I don't mind eating repetitively and it saves time, that could have been one huge f*ck-up.
