The kitchen.... a dreaded place for a woman with a "healthy" fear of failing.
First let me explain, I am not fearful of failing in life- generally I feel that I can be successful in anything I try to do, but the kitchen is that one area I've always felt even if I tried to tackle, I just knew I would fail. It was never a question of IF but WHEN....
I am a pretty busy gal and have often felt like I never had time to make meals, so we would go out to eat, make something simple like pasta (you can't really mess up pasta)... or worse- just settle with cereal... then one day I realized how silly was I being.
In my mind- working in the kitchen = failure. If I made the effort to be successful I would turn into the iconic image of the 50's housewife with the rolling pin and pearls. Well my dears, that is not me.
This started out as a joke, that I would create a blog to document my journey in domestication, then I realized... there might be other women out there like me who feel overwhelmed in the kitchen and would rather walk away, waste money and gain weight all because they don't want to fail at something that is ingrained in us.... basic survival skills-- keep in mind, you have to eat to survive, why not enjoy what you are making instead of just suffering through a burger and fries.
Till next time, me
