Sometimes cooking is a great feeling. There's an awareness and confidence that you can feel while cooking, it seems like you can't make a mistake. You know exactly what is happening and why - the cause and effect are completely linked. Your evaluation of the ingredients, the plan you put in place, and the techniques you apply to achieve the final product is all are very clear.
You feel in complete control of what's happening and everything works out exactly how you want with very little effort.
This effortless feeling is why I cook.
This weekend was not effortless.
