So yesterday wasn't such a great night cooking, I attempted to make my Quinoa Burgers that I have made before. I altered the recipe slightly because I didn't have cottage cheese or green onions, so I subbed regular onions and extra regular cheese. The result - my "burgers" stuck to my pan and would not hold together. I ended up making almost a scrambled eggs type of recipe instead in the end, just letting it cook and then scraping the bottom of the pan with my spatula as I went along. It tasted good in the end but I was beyond frustrated.
Earlier in the day I had asked my husband what he wanted to eat and was determined to make whatever he wanted when I came home from work. When everything started to go wrong with what I was making I just completely broke down into tears. I know that everything wouldn't be easy but I just felt like my emotions exploded. Thankfully I have such a wonderful husband that made me feel better. I know I had to remember that this is a learning process, I have never cooked with these ingredients before only just recently, there is going to be points where I fall short of what I expect.
It's O.K. - my husband reminded me about the first time I tried to cook things in the past, it didn't always work the first time, and I know I made mistakes even after the first time. I was thinking about all of this today and was reminded also of something very smart that my pastor in church said. "Anything worth doing, is worth doing poorly." No one starts anything perfectly, I know ladies that are AMAZING at baking, or AMAZING at this or that, but I have to remember they didn't start that way - they worked at it!
In the end everything worked out, the food was still delicious and we were full. :)
