Therefore it sounds to me not like you dropped the ball, but like you did with it exactly what you were meant to do--you got it ready, and you tossed it to the team, and they did what they were meant to do with it.<br /><br />That said, I understand why you would feel like you somehow didn't do "enough"--cooking is a hands-on joy, and if your hands aren't on you don't feel like you cooked. Then again, if you wanted *only* to cook, you would volunteer to be kitchen staff in someone else's kitchen instead of being the mastermind behind it all.<br /><br /><br />Besides, by taking it easy on site it gave you the energy to make us difficult cases feel spoiled by doing little extra things for us, which is SO appreciated. Thank you again for making certain that, I, one of the fussiest and weirdest eaters on site, was well fed and happy all week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
