Cooking Competition Wisdom

Televised cooking competitions offer an inspiring metaphor for life.

On some days, we get to cook with filet mignon, corn on the cob, and fresh strawberries. On other days, all we have is kale, bologna, and lima beans.

Nobody cares. They expect us to make dinner, and they expect it to be nourishing and delicious. 

Whether you are blessed with an abundance of fine ingredients or a collection of odds and ends, you have to deliver. Put your head down, do your best, and make it work, or the family will go hungry.
