December's P.O.V.

Cooking

Cooking is the practice or skill of preparing food by combining, mixing, and heating ingredients, according to Google.

A trait that I would have loved to inherit, but like I've said many times before, the world hates me. So, it gave me the worst possible genes for cooking. I even have difficulty reading the damn recipe. No, I'm not stupid, it's just that once I start, I get a little too cocky with things and everything  just goes downhill. Which results in me putting 2 and a 1/2 cups of sugar instead of just a half 1/2 cup (A.N// true story.) Don't even get me started on the actual baking part because that is another story. I either forget about the thing and end up burning it or take it out too late. Either way, it ends up being all burnt and crusty. So much in fact, that there's no way of salvaging it and there's no other option, but throwing it away.

I'm so bad that I would be the person in Gordon Ramsey's shows that are so awful that he yells at them, and begs them to quit. I'm the person who Gordon Ramsey grabbed two pieces of bread and asked, "What are you?" and I would have answered, "An idiot sandwich." I'm that hopeless, that even he can't work his magic culinary skills to help me.

Although I will admit that once in a blue moon, some concoction of mine will work. I don't know if its the mood I'm in or how much concentration I put in, or the blood, sweat or tears I put in, but it works. When it does work its one of the best things I've tasted on this earth and I've tasted a lot of things. I might be a little biased, but who cares. I also have other witnesses that have witnessed this happen before. They'll say that I tried to make the desert and it was one of the vilest things they ever tasted in decades. After a few days when I've made more attempts to the recipe it basically comes out so perfect that they suggest I apply for "Food Network Star." 

These were all the things that were swirling through my head as I was indeed, cooking. Rose and Alex both agreed that I will make some kind of dessert for tonight even though I didn't agree. On another hand, I don't know how I was persuaded into this when we all clearly know that they're both clearly better than me. I can't believe they will really risk my dessert coming out like complete shit when we know it's a 99.999999999% it will come out like crap. 

The dessert we all agreed on, more like they agreed on was a carrot cake, simple right? No, it isn't its like they want me to fail in making it, but I will admit if I make it correctly it will be one of the most delicious kinds of cakes I've ever made. I could already imagine the soft, rich texture of the cake to the cream that just melts in your mouth, not forgetting about the light carrot chunks in every bite. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. 

Snapping back to reality from my day dream of carrot cakes, I begin to take out all the ingredients to the so-called carrot cake that is gonna be made.

Eggs, check

white sugar, check

Vanilla extract, check

Flour, check

And the list goes on with all the ingredients one by one, taking them out and checking them off as I go. After taking all the listed ingredients I notice that I don't have one of the most important things carrots. How convient.

While double check in the fridge, behind the milk, cabinets, basically everywhere I immediately remember that this is exactly from that one episode of Cupcake Wars. Where a girl was making 'carrot' cupcakes and forgot the carrot and we can all guess who didn't make it through the next round.
