Please pack your knives and go

 As a member of a Cooking Light group, I meet with other friends to taste recipes we prepare from the magazine.  While I am not a gourmet cook, my skills have improved since joining the group five years ago. I look back with some embarrassment over some of my recipes.  Thankfully, no one said, Jacqueline, “Please pack your knives and go. “ We learn, we grow, we share, we encourage.  Thank goodness, it is not a competition.  Learning is a life long process.  It is nice to have some encouragement along the way.

One show is all about the competition: The Top Chef.   This program combines entertainment with creativity on a Bravo show.  So it was with small bit of envy when I say Dama posing with Carla from last season’s Top Chef. (I saw the picture on her Facebook wall.)   Why?  Dama is one of the most selective eaters I know. She has a long list of things that she will not eat.   I need to embrace her selectivity.
