What did you accomplish today?

I made white beans and leeks from scratch. Turned out horrible and it was a lot of hard work. My grandmother made it look effortless. Well I guess in a world with no fast food and a whole bunch of mouths to feed this would be a simple recipe, a very simple one. Yet still I botched it. I don't have her recipe she never used them. She didn't use measuring cups, spoons, scales, timers, meat thermometers or anything like that either. So to learn how to make it the way she did she'd have to be here to show me. Well I won't give up. I can see how it would be better if next time I did this or didn't do that so live and learn. I'll just have to keep at it till I get it right. She wouldn't want me to quit and hey at least I didn't burn it, that's off to a pretty good start right?
