You know you’re a bad cook if…

You know you’re a bad cook if on the first time you tried to make salmon you threw up because you had severely under-cooked it (or maybe over-cooked it).

You know you’re a bad cook if the best descriptor of your homemade tortilla chips is liquidy.

You know you’re a bad cook if you forgot about pasta in the crockpot then returned to find it had molded into a single unit. You then ate the brick because you didn’t want to go hungry.

You know you you’re a bad cook if on the second time you made salmon you threw up again because you hadn’t learned from your mistakes.

You know you’re a bad cook if your chocolate chip cookies have the consistency of sand.

You know you’re a bad cook if you had thought scrambled eggs was an acceptable substitute for raw eggs when making those cookies.

You know you’re a bad cook when one of your recipe cards is tuna melt because you keep forgetting. (For anyone who’s curious, it’s bread, cheese, and tuna.)

You know you’re a bad cook if when you tried to make french toast you accidentally soaked up 5-slices worth of batter into a single slice of bread.

In any area of life, is it better to try and not learn from your mistakes or to not try at all? I think it’s better to try and not learn, because at least in that scenario you won’t to starve to death.
