Dodgy Dishes

You KNOW what I'm talking about.  Let's be honest, sometimes our creations just don't work!!  It's heartbreaking to spend time lovingly creating a dish for your family and friends and it turns into an epic fail.

The first "dodgy dish" was created by one of my dearest friends.  Can you imagine her horror after spending time finding the perfect recipe, shopping for the ingredients, preparing the cheesecake mix and then, when transferring the dish to the oven, the base fell out and the mixture spread itself across all four corners of her kitchen.  Brings a tear to your eye doesn't it!!

In the middle is one of my "dodgy dishes".  It was corned beef with cheese sauce.  I've made it many times and on this occasion it just did not work (and of course I was cooking it for a special occasion).  The meat was stringy, dry, tasteless and practically inedible.  What went wrong ... who knows.  My family still smiled and commented how delicious it was, but I knew it was wrong on every level.

Finally, another friend followed the packet directions carefully to create an amazing dragon cake and, sadly, it just did not look like the perfect dragon on the packet.

My point is that we are all human.  Accidents happen, recipes fail and we all have "off days" in the kitchen.  Not all of our cooking will grace the cover of a magazine, however, it will still put a smile on the face of our loved ones.

Cooking makes me happy, no matter the outcome.  It distracts me from bad times, however, I have many beautiful memories of sharing food with my family and friends.  If it doesn't work, laugh it off and try again.

Happy cooking :D
