Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Oh you two touched my heart. You know I've been there and experienced it all. I've tossed many dishes out due to failure, over seasoned several, peeled my fingers with the potato peeler, dropped the whole dinner I was to serve guests on the floor in front of them, turned a plate of food on myself and wrecked many an outfit, caught my hot pads on fire, gone to cook a meal and come to find out I forgot to buy the main ingredient, looked on the left side of a cookbook when I was preparing something from the right side and tossed in wrong ingredients, spend a lot on a recipe that sounded fantastic only to find out it was TERRIBLE, and I wouldn't change anything for the world. It's all trial and error and if you plant your two feet on the kitchen floor and try again there's a 99% chance you will create a keeper of a recipe. It's all been fun.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Donna, I'm so glad to hear that I am not the only one that has had the bad experiences. I have made several dishes and thrown them out after one bite. Many recipes have found their way to the trash bin to never be made again or even thought of. I was never great when it came to cooking anyways and then to decide to become vegetarian and cook a whole new way was a tragic in the beginning. At one point I thought no way is this going to work for me, but I hung in there and just kept trying new recipes and tweaking some to make them my own. Now I'm glad to say that my bad meals are few and far between. I do still have some that I throw out and never make again, but not as many as in the beginning. Thanks for sharing your story, Donna.
