The Joys of Cooking But Then...

So I have always wanted to follow in my mother's footsteps and be a good cook. I have tried here-and-there and well, some things have turned out awesome while others are a taste-and-then-throw-away because nobody in their right mind would eat it. So far the 1 thing that I have finally been able to make decently are cinnamon rolls. My mom's are fantastic and they always make people happy when she presents them. I figured I would try and do the same. After many tries I finally found my niche with cinnamon roll making. Doing it all by hand is a long and arduous process so for my past birthday I asked for a mixer, which I got. Let me tell you, that thing is awesome and makes things SO much quicker and easier! Here is a picture of me when I first got it (just so this post has a picture of SOMETHING).

The reason I am writing this is to share an annoyance, yet, inevitable part of making food for others... or just eating food that was made for you by someone else. Whenever food is made it never works out perfectly or even if it does, the maker always has to apologize for this or that with the food. I know many people who do this. I think to myself, "who cares? it's food and I am thankful that you made it for me!" Why do people always do this? Well, now that I have started to make some food and presented them to family/friends I find myself doing THE EXACT THING! I guess when making a meal/side/dessert I always want it absolutely perfect and have it taste miraculously awesome.

Maybe this is a rookie trait? a perfectionist trait? I dunno. 

Just randomness on my mind.
