The shame about the Examiner articles I'm writing is that I can only post my success stories! Who wants to hear all about how great someone's recipes are? Nobody. People love failure. That's why we read the tabloids and watch American Idol!
I made mini meatloaves the other day. The taste was great, but they looked like dog food. Jenson actually LOVED them and ate more than we did.
I made twice-baked potatoes, but I didn't use a recipe and I should have. I thought they were too dry. I put a ton of cheddar cheese, cream cheese and sour cream in the potatoes, so why were they still so dry?? Oh, and they were fat free (obviously).
I also bombed on a Pumpkin Soup recipe. Again, Jenson was a huge fan (and so was Kaylen) but Matt hated it. I know it sounds gross, but it actually wasn't bad. Different, but not bad. It had Prosciutto, onions, garlic, pumpkin, chicken broth, nutmeg, and some other stuff.
Hate is a strong wo....ok, yeah, I didn't care for it. But that's rare with your cooking. You're at like 99% success rate.

Awe Matt is sweet! But then again he better say that since he is so lucky to have a wife that loves to try out new foods all the time! Prosciutto and pumpkin doesn't sound great but would be interesting to try.
ReplyDeleteI personally love hearing what didn't work, and then I will not try to make it.

Failures make me feel, not superior, but in good company. And they're funny. (Dog food . . . ha, ha!) Seriously, I've learned from my most spectacular food failures. (Ex, don't add anything acidic until your dried beans are softened.) Please post away!
