During the writing of Crunchy Bits, I did a few recipes that I had never tried. I had them in my mind but never did them. They didn’t end up in the book.
Some took weeks to perfect. Some just never did meet my satisfaction.
Frustrating as it is in some ways to admit it just did not work, it is a reality.
I don’t really beat myself up about it. It happens. Move on.
Giving myself permission to fail is fine. Just because I have never tried to cook something before doesn’t stop me from giving it a try. We learn from success as much as failure.

I’ll be there with my book Crunchy Bits (available on Amazon and LuLu) and sporting my new Chef’s Jacket! 
It seems like it took forever but Crunchy Bits is done. I am sick of cooking and adjusting the damn things and it may be a while before I actually eat anything from the book as I got a little burned out.
Crunchy Bits gets got its final photo added yesterday. I was so ready for that to be over. I had gotten to the point of being tired of working on that cookbook! Well it is done now and no going back. GEEZ it was painful so many times.
Well it is all in the hands of the editor now. I am getting really anxious! There have been many times of what did I mean when I wrote that and forgetting to add things. IMPORTANT THINGS like directions! Stuff that I know to do and wrongfully assume that everyone should know how to do.
It is what it is……..
