When I first set out on my own, I hardly had anything (in fact all my possessions fit in my car), and I set off for my career. While having pretty much nothing, I learned very quickly that I would need to cook for myself in order to save some serious cash. I opened up a cook book, gathered the necessary ingredients and began on my quest towards culinary delights. Shortly after I started, I looked in my cookbook at a request for pressed garlic (or at least minced). My roommate at the time happened to have a garlic press, but I refused knowing that I needed to at least learn how to mince some garlic. The resulting flurry of chops and slashes resulted in a slurry of garlic that looked amateur at best. Either way, I learned how to mince garlic that day and will carry that knowledge with me for the rest of my life. Going forward, I actually bought my own garlic press.
The point I'm trying to get across to you is that it is important to at least attempt a new task the manual or hard way at least once. By doing this, you'll develop a fundamental understanding of how things work together and why the quick option is better. You may learn some other important lessons along the way such as temperance, patience, and a whole bunch of other adjectives ending in "nce".
Once again, I leave you with a rather brief entry for the day, but hey, it's Friday! Have a great weekend!
Wonderful Moment of the Day - TGIF!
