I will not be defeated!!!

I am pretty sure every great chef has a few hiccups in the kitchen. Though the odds are good that whatever they make is delicious, every now and then I am convinced that what they make is purely a culmination of "woopsies" and "Maybe this will work".  I definitely hit a few speed bumps in the kitchen today. I have recently learned that I am not a good multi-tasker, and I proved it yet again tonight when I attempted to make Orange glazed chicken and Lemon risotto at the same time. I felt like I was in one of those cooking races where everything is happening all at once. Although, in those races, their ingredients are always fresh; tonight I had to quickly substitute two rotten onions and one rotten lemon, all while trying not to burn the risotto! Though my dish has a slightly funny brown color to it, and the chicken is a bit chewy because I overcooked it trying to thicken the sauce, it still tasted delicious. Bring on the speed Bumps!
