I don't think I'm a bad cook. I can whip up a decent meal, complete with dessert and an appetizer. I'm just a tad slow, and I like improvising a little too much. Oh, and you'd probably wanna stay away if you're health conscious, or counting the calories... butter is my best friend. But I think all my first times have been pretty okay if you ignore the disaster from many many years ago when I tried to make cheese sauce with well, just cheese, or the time when I did a shepherd's pie with all the wrong ingredients, and just threw in whatever felt right. ... Yeah, but that was for cooking, I probably fail more at baking than at cooking.
What really happens all the time though, is something screwing up in the preparation section. I nearly chopped up my fingers once when I accidentally grabbed the wrong end of the knife, burnt myself way too much times, and oh, got my face splattered with boiling sauce just now. But hey, if it's always gonna turn out as sinfully good as this, I shouldn't be complaining.
(Next up, I should try to do a full Chinese for Mommy. I kinda fail at that too though, but it's okay, someone will eat it. I hope.)
& gee, it should be illegal to look this awesome. It's giving my insides a slow, squishy death. I really really really want more db photos :(
