Practice Makes Confy

A few days ago I wrote a post which I called Peeling The Potatoes Yourself in which I talked about how I made steak and mashed potatoes and found such...great new insight into peeling the potatoes myself. This post is sort of a follow up on that post. The steaks that I made with those mashed potatoes turned out good! I am very proud of how those steaks turned out, and while I am not a professional so I don't know how good it was it was good to me, and I loved eating it! it was not dry and the seasoning I used, an outside smoke flavor sauce, was really good! I loved the way it turned out so much that I have made it twice since then, and each time I make it I get more and more comfortable with it(though I should start using a cooking thermometer). I can't say that they get better and better every time, but I get more comfortable and confidence in my ability to cook it, and I think that matters. in cooking, I am finding that you cannot just try once and that's it. whether you knock it out of the park your first time or you strike out miserably, you have to try again either way. the more times you cook a dish the more comfortable you will be with it and the more comfortable you are the more your confidence grows and the more your confidence grows the more daring and bold you become in experimenting with it, and trying new ways of cooking that dish. sometimes in life, we feel that if we succeed then that's it. we can stop. and we say that if you fail, that's when you try again. but maybe, you try again either way. maybe the trick is to keep going on and on and on, whether you get it right or not.
