Day 22: Rosa Pastel.













"A picture of something you wish you were better at."

This is hard to narrow down...

There is a lot in life that I wish I were "better" at. I wish I were better in school; better at making friends; better at communicating; better at my job; better at accepting myself; better at walking in heels...better in life generally. But I would say that being betting at cooking is pretty high up on my list.

Growing up, there wasn't a lot of serious cooking in my home. The easier and faster the better. Every time that my mother did cook, she always tried to teach me what she was doing.

"2 eggs in this. A pinch of salt in that."

But did I pay attention? Well of course not!

"Yessss mammitaa, an egg and some salt. Mmm hmm. Got it."

I should have freakin' paid attention...

Now I'm grown up and on my own. I won't even try to cook anything because anytime I have tried, I have literally started fires. And so Jeremiah is the cook of the household. He is great at it, but sometimes I really do wish I could actually cook for him for once. But honestly, that won't be happening anytime soon.

And the funny thing is, for as much as I watch the Food Network, you'd think I could actually cook something. Even a cake from the box.

HA!

Cereal and microwavable foods it is.
