Cooking potatoes, cooling them in
The fridge,
Doing the same with hard boiled eggs,
Dicing them all and adding
Extras to make potato salad and
Discover after testing it that
I added much too much salt,
Too much to take my dish to the
Party, what do I do?
I try to add more of this and that
And keep tasting it until I can't stand
Another bite, and I finally give up and
Throw it all in the garbage.
I groan and moan, and wallow in
Remorse for awhile,
Bemoaning the ingredients and time
I wasted and my lack of cooking skills,
And then I pull myself together and take
Stock of the food in my house and
Make a fruit salad instead, so thankful
It doesn't call for salt.
(And I share my misery with my
Facebook friends hoping for just a
Tiny bit of sympathy.)
