“Trust the process”, they said… “It’ll be fine”, they said…
This time of the week has come, and it’s one of the ones I enjoy the most. By now, cooking fails have become so familiar to me that I’ve fixed the issues that not being able to cook had caused me. And yes, I used to feel very bad about not being able to prepare a good dinner for myself, but I’m totally over that… I think.
The truth is that I don’t have another choice, to be honest. Cooking is something that you either master and are super good at it, or you don’t. There’s really no in-between point. Well, maybe there is, because I know some people who can cook good dinners but are very bad at baking… or people who can cook but aren’t fans of making bread. Anyways, I’m already starting to ramble.Â
If you’re someone who can indeed cook and it’s somewhat good at it, I don’t think this is the story for you. Sorry, but it’s the truth. But if you’re like me and you were never able to master that thing we call cooking, then you’re in the right place, my friend. I really hope the fails that I selected this time are going to be as funny as they are to me.
Laughing about the fact that I can’t cook has really helped me get through that early disappointment, and had force to look for some other hobbies, and that’s how I fell in love with running, actually. But that’s beside the point. I think that when we are not good at something, we truly should keep trying until we come to the realization that that thing is not for us. It takes some time to reach that point, and a lot of things need to be happening for us to understand that maybe cooking… is just for other people.
If you’re still at that point of realizing that these may or may not be for you, I’m here, and I encourage you to keep trying until you figure it out for yourself… in the meantime, enjoy these cooking fails!
