"So I didn't have any _____, so I added _____ instead. It looks weird but it should taste good!" This is the disclaimer I give before almost every dish I make or project I create. (And if I don't, my husband asks...."sooo, what did you forget this time?")
For whatever reason, I am horrible at making sure I have all the ingredients before I start something, but I HATE stopping what I'm doing to go to the store or whatnot. I also hate doing hours and hours of research and preparation and spending money on a bunch of specialized tools for a project. So I make due. Usually, it works out great. Sometimes, I'm not so lucky. But I want to chronicle my "mistakes" as proof that you can go ahead, less than perfect, and create a masterpiece. My goal is to make it better than if I had all the "right" ingredients! Anyone can draw a perfect, simple daisy, but it takes style to know a pansy. :-)
P.S. If you think my taste buds are biased, I would challenge you to come over anytime I make my Pansy cinnamon rolls, where I accidentally DOUBLED the butter....TO. DIE. FOR.
