I need to kick my ass into gear with shit. I've become very unproductive in the past few months, and that shit has to stop. But first, I need breakfast.
You know, I wasn't always the great chef that I am today. At one point, I struggled to make a decent bowl and mac & cheese. I misread the directions and made it into soup because I added way to much milk. And another time I was going to make spaghetti for my dad after school when I was exiled to his apartment for the second half of the year of seventh grade, and it turned out pretty bad. See, i thought he was supposed to be home by 5, so I started making the noddles by 4 just so I would have enough time to cook them. well, by the time he got home, these noodles were pretty much a pile of mush. I figured I would keep them in hot water so they wouldn't get cold and dry out. Yeah, we got pizza or something then.
But, as Oscar Wilde said: "Experience is the name we give our mistakes." I learned much from those incidents. I have had many since and have learned much from them as well.
It got to this point where I was learning how to cook things like stews and chili. I would start out with a small pan, move to a bigger one and just kept adding to it until I had to use the largest pot in the pantry. Again, I've learned since then and haven't done that in a while. But still, I made some good shit back then.
And don't get me wrong, I'm still learning. I'm still working on how to make the perfect pie crust and so on. And some day I would like to make a pizza crust and bread worth of Joe. But until then, I keep learning.
Okay, now I really want some breakfast!
