Most epic cooking fail…. There is a long list

• Using all purpose instead of self rising flour in Buttermilk Biscuits. They came out flat as a pancake. My English friend who I invited over for breakfast called them “cookies”.
• Made some fried chicken in the middle of winter inside my house. Tasted great, but my house smelled like a McDonalds for a week.
• Grilled vegetables to a crisp past the point of eating them.
• Put so much cayenne pepper in a soup people were having trouble eating it.
• Served dinner hours late many times because I grossly overestimated the speed I could cook at.
• Made trout on the grill, not realizing I had to debone the fish first.
• Invited my family over for the holidays. Insisted on a “country ham” which I had never made before. Overcooked it, tough as rubber for Christmas dinner.

Failing is all part of the learning and has inspired two of my favorite Cast Iron Commandments.

Commandment #1 – Challenge yourself.

Commandment #20 – Don’t let a bad dish discourage you.
