Swing, Swing, and a Miss....

So, I'm not the happiest with my past few posts. Nothing ever turns out as perfect as I envision it in my head. But I guess that's why I keep trying. Sometimes they come out close. Sometimes it's the flavor I wanted, but not the texture or visual appeal. And the same goes with the other components of what I was aiming for. But, the way I look at it, I'm still learning and growing with every shortcoming and failure. That's just part of growing and cooking. I remember a friend once telling me, "If you never swing, you'll always miss." So I try, and try, and try... Sometimes I get it and sometimes I don't. But that's what makes good meals and dishes standout against the not so good ones...
