Thoughts On (fuck you) Lemon Curd
Recipes come with a set of expectations, make that one expectation, that if you follow said steps you will end up with a tasty treat. And it is this one little expectation that can lead to deep self loathing in amature cooks such as myself.
Fuck You lemon curd.
Right now you are sitting on my stove, where, instead of being a delicious "pudding" consistency, you are a less than delicious snot consistency. This has occurred for one of three reasons:
1) The recipes sucks (unlikely)
2) The ingredients suck (more unlikely)
3) I suck. (Really really possible)
This is the problem with recipe cooking, it demands results. It is high pressure. When your "tasty treat" turns out to be "snot" you have no one to blame but yourself.
