Don't let the person in the crooked toque lean in too closely and convince you that picking yourself up is the right thing to do. Sometimes it's appropriate but sometimes the mistake, or the failure, is what actually propels you towards the next big thing.
Look at it like this. I tried to find an interesting stuffed French toast recipe to share with you, and realized there were over 13,000,000 different variations. I chose one, cooked it at home, and made a big marshmallow mess all over the stovetop. I should have stuck with the first one that caught my eye.
Then instead, I chose to make this blog to provide a glimpse into the reality of cooking. The blisters and the aches. Cooking as a profession is getting away with showcasing some kind of glamour, but yet, check out the celebrity chefs when they fail. The karma of seeing their disappointment publicly lends authority to the idea that failing is okay. Because look at them.
Look at how she alludes to a Greek god at the end of the dish. Someone familiar and secure like Cassandra. Couldn't see that one coming she says. Like Ramsay's disdain for truffle oil and his wikipedia'd quote about its pungency. It's a travesty to have it in your pantry but it's absolutely great tossed with pommes frites or roasted beets. You see, this is not your ordinary glimpse into how to cook or might not even have much to do about food in general. Like those poems that inundate the market nowadays with which all young poets must be familiar if they are to succeed. You must name places. Keep it simple and let the last line bring the reader to their knees. Don't fool anyone including yourself. Always avoid exclamation marks and parantheses especially if you think you need to use them. Clean up after yourself, for god's sake, when you've finished each poem. I am walking through this alley. The splashing light dimples against the puddled gloom. They take pictures of themselves because they are in love and have been to Bangkok, Lima, and Digeridoo. Let the wind slide across your thighs. Be shy towards the audience but speak up in ca dence with the rhy thm of the words. Know the rules and break them. Keep failing because if you succeed you end up just like them. On display and fornicating with the abyss.
