Don't be so hard on yourself

Fettuccine alla Bolognese:


Does it look like I fucked it up? No? Well, I did. I put in onion, celery, and carrot in a rough chop. I was supposed to take my roughly chopped veg, and chop them finely into a battuto before putting them in. My veg were too big, and did not melt away and disappear into the sauce. Plus, I took a nap and let it get a leetle too dry. And I skimmed off about 1/3 cup of saturated fat off the top, which I was not supposed to do.



So: not perfect, but still good AND I LEARNED A LOT *she said sarcastically*



The Man was too busy gulping his down beagle-style (why bother to chew or taste?) to appreciate it, but he said thank you nonetheless.

The presentation also seems to be a little lacking. Perhaps a few artfully arranged basil leaves and a sprig of romary would remind the man that this is a dish to be savoured. Or perhaps he was hoping for a second serving and wanted to be first in line.
