I know the feeling of ruining the dish.

Only one of us woriks can make Béchamel sauce and others, based on flour. The other can't ?

Well I guess you got me there  I'm ok at cooking. When it comes to cooking rice I just can't seem to get it right most of the time so I stopped being the one to make it for the family.

> Rice??? Nobody in the family boils the rice then my prince. Not even my mom (I guess he knows how my Ivy and i like it. And again, he has his ingredients he puts in making them taste perfect). I believe you are good in making pork chops. I do not know why I think so, but I do. ☺️

Maybe back when I use to eat meat but I stopped eating meat a year ago so I haven't cooked any meat since then.

Oh... Well I haven't eaten fish in years.  My choice in foods have kept my bowels clean so far at least.

Speaking of cooking, I made baked spiced chicken, pasta salad and Spanish rice.   I am the cook of the family as well, but not the baker, as a baker follows a set procedure and measured ingredients, while  a cook adds the right amount of ingredients based on eye sight, smell and taste.  

As for failure, it always depends on the consequences.   When you fail yourself, frustration is about your own feeling, but when you fail others, then it is knowing you disappointed them, no matter how forgiving they are.  

I am going to take a moment to brag a bit, when I was coaching my son's basketball team (some who know me have heard this story before), one young boy would not hold the ball while I was teaching them about basketball.  I asked him to stop bouncing the ball while I was talking.   He did it again and I looked at him, making him stop.  Then he "dropped" the ball again, grabbing it then looking up realizing he wasn't supposed to do that.   I told the team "Ok, that's it, five laps around the gym" (they were 7 to 9 yr olds), however when the boy who bounced the ball went to join them, I stopped and said "No, No, you get to stand here with me and watch what you made your team do."  

Some also may think this seems familiar and it is a tactic often learned in military boot camp, which is where I learned that desire to not to fail because of what it will do to my team.

Oh, some parents were upset with me, saying the kids were not in the military.  I simply said "No, they will win because they aren't afraid of failing themselves, but of failing each other".    We went on to lose in the championship game after winning our division.
