This blog is entitled Burning the Garlic Bread, or maybe I should call it “happens to the best of us.”
I want you to know that I’ve been cooking for 40 long years and the other day I made garlic bread. Not uncommon for me, I burnt it. I’m notorious for burning the bread because I have a million things going on and I just put it in and forget it. It needs to cook fast and hot so there is not a lot of margin for error. I’ve gotten to the point the only successful way I can do it is to set a timer for six minutes and carry it around in my pocket. If you ever see me walking by with a timer in my hand is because I have bread in the oven.
I tell you this because I want you to not allow burning bread, (or anything), to sour you on cooking. Just know that you’re always going to screw up every once in a while. If you make something that doesn’t taste good or doesn’t turn out at all, just think, “Oh well, pizza for dinner.” Don’t get discouraged, just laugh about it and know that it’s just part of life and part of learning how to cook.
The purpose of my message is don’t give up. Try it again. Maybe think about what you did. Look back at the instructions, and when you feel emotionally stable again and are mentally prepared, give it another go.
And that’s why I keep trying to make garlic bread. Every once in a while it turns out great!
P.S. I scraped off the charcoal and ate it anyway.
