So, I guess it’s natural to feel a little relief when someone reminds us that we're not alone in making mistakes.

Mine this week, not so funny, I accidentally pulled a serrated knife out of the dry section of my sink and the tip caught my left hand between the fingers. Slice. Ouch!

It was a recipe from a cookbook called something like Make It Now, Bake It Later.

That is actually a rhetorical question because I know why I do...it makes my favorite foodies so much more real to me...the at home cook.
