Reality Check

As I learn to make new dishes I find myself thinking that all of this is pretty easy.
Then I watch a video of an successful, expert, master chef create the exact same dish, explaining the process with such depth that parallels the complexities of equations attempting to demonstrate the processes of the universe. The finished product is sexy in it's purest form. That is when I realize that I am way behind, and this is beyond easy. It will take years to create a simple dish to be that desirable. It's a sinking feeling. It's almost quite overwhelming at times. It almost seems like a goal far beyond my reach. But with the prospect that I will only be taking forward steps, no matter how small, I learn to love it.
