[quote=Anonymous]Failure is a part of the process in the kitchen  :D and in the last month alone I have had some misses.

-two baking fails on two attempts of the same recipe: on the first go, I failed to get the beautifully proved/shaped/decorated loaf into the oven and ended up tossing it. I need to get a proper peel and know I will geek out and over analyze the purchase, so have put it off and paid the price. The first loaf was perfect. Round two I added 2 grams of salt more than necessary because I wasn’t being careful. It was too salty for me but DH said it was fine.

-I got the “nicer” noodles that are already soft and come in plastic pouches for yaki soba, but they all snapped and wouldn’t un-clump. It was otherwise delicious and not something in my usual rotation, I missed having long slurpy noodles.

-made something like asparagus chips instead of roasted asparagus. They were skinny and I vastly underestimated how much time they would need in the oven.

-I was humbled by a Basque cheesecake from a bakery (Grace Street — I think it may be NYC only). I made one a couple years ago following Molly Baz’s recipe and the store bought was much better. I think I overbaked.

P.S. no matter how much scratch cooking I do, we always have a box of Ghirardelli double chocolate brownies in the pantry. [/quote]
