I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 158: Pasta
I. HATE. TO. COOK. I know I say this all of the time, but I really really do hate to cook. I would rather be doing anything else because for me, cooking is the least productive thing ever. Then again, I have always had a negative relationship with food, so the less time I can spend around food, the better.
Anyways, I got home late tonight from a meeting, and I was hungry. I had gotten some pasta in a bag things from my school for free. All I had to do was boil some water, put the pasta in the water, and let it sit for 3 minutes. I took a can of tomato sauce and heated that up. This took let's say about 15 minutes. Not a lot of time technically, but when I'm hungry, I just want to get eating over with.
So the point of this story is that I actually LIKED what I "cooked." I was not expecting much. And I know that this is not really a fail. But I know it's really sad when you're proud of yourself for making some pasta that only takes 3 minutes to cook in boiling water!!!
I am (almost) determined to have a better relationship with food as my goal for next year. But I still have 6 months to decide about that.
