And Speaking of Sunday...

Nov 06, 2005 15:49

I need to hit the shower and tidy my house up.

I didn't get anything done for NaNoWriMo, yesterday; this means I need to write at least 4000 words today. Listening to their pep talk thing.

So... for those that are going on about cooks and cooking, this is for you.
For that that are probably going... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot this is best described ( Read more... )

I'm just trying to do my own cooking, in my own style. The problem comes in when, without me coming out and asking for the help, people continually pick apart that style and strongly suggest changes to make it "better" in their opinion, to make it more like their style of cooking. When I try the changes, no matter what, it's still not good enough for them so they suggest I try another change instead. This happens over time and I end up losing my own style of cooking. Then the people wonder what happened to my style of cooking. They complain it's bland and never connect that they had a part in making it that way ( ... )

This is where you say: "Shut up and eat and if you don't eat, just shut up!"

My tia used to make flan all the time, usually around holidays. I hated flan because I don't know why. My father used to say, "She made it and you're gonna eat it and you're gonna like it." Maybe you should try that, I don't know.

Now... I'm terrible at cooking. I can cook an awesome roast, though. But anything too complex, no. Remember in high school, though? The ever-popular mystery meat? It's in every cafeteria. Is it beef? Is it chicken? Is it pork? Just what the hell IS that they dumped into the pot today ( ... )

Another point to consider is that there might not be a clear Head Chef. To borrow a crude phrase from yesteryear, there might be too many chiefs and no indians ( ... )

And I think you hit the nail on the head, not a clear Head Chef.

Me, I just want my part of the dish to be appealing to those dining and fit in nicely with the other dishes being served. I want it to taste good, but not overshadow the presentation of the courses being prepared by the other cooks.

I liked having unique dishes which only some could appreciate.

Unique is good, but all courses of a meal should compliment each other. You know what I mean?
