I feel like whoever cooks dinner for your family on the reg also has the capacity to fuck it up. Just because they have more practice does not mean they are infallible, and the only way to gain practice is by doing. I don't think your family would mind terribly if you made something that wasn't perfect.

Do the cooks in your family only cook things they have cooked many times before? I'm sure they try new recipes from time to time.

One time my brother made pancakes for dinner with the wrong leavening and they tasted like pretzels. Gamely, my dad ate two of them.

Also - isn't it incredibly presumptuous and rude to tell someone not to be rude? In this same thread someone reads into your comment and sees something you didn't intend and you tell them to "interpret your comment however they will." Well, you just interpreted tng's comment however you wanted to. Looks like...oh...that's right...we're all not perfect. Let's try to be consistent, at least, in our approach.

You're taking things for what I've written that I don't mean.

Believe what you will about what that was supposed to mean.
