Because I'm No Julia Child. I'm Not Nearly Tall Enough.

22. A picture of something you wish you were better at.
 
Most activities deemed the purview of the domestic goddess are relatively foreign territory to me. Cooking, sewing, these types of things stress me out. It's not that I'm really horrible at them, they just aren't enjoyable to me. I do, however, wish I was better at them. I would like to like them. So, I'm making attempts. Like the ones pictured above.
 
I've been working on salsa. It's getting better! I just need some better tomatoes. And maybe a different kind of onion. Any tips?
 
Briton gave me this delicious-looking lemon angelfood cake mix for my birthday. Now, I'm a boxed cake pro, but I've never made an angelfood cake before. Fortunately for me, this one had powered eggwhites, so there was not egg separating involved! We haven't actually had a chance to take a bite out yet, but it looks delicious!
*Funny note* It had a "glaze packet," which was a packet with a powdered substance in it to which you were supposed to add two tablespoons of lemon juice. The powdered substance, to my delight, was just powdered sugar. And that's what I figured it would be. I felt very knowledgeable of kitchen-y things in that moment.
