Thank you Francesca, As ever a very thought provoking post that got me smiling. Old age and cooking is one area where you learn not to worry about perfectionism. I still buy recipe books but I don’t know why, my recipes are never going to turn out right, but it doesn’t matter as long as it tastes ok. But yes I have had many disasters over the years. Far too many to mention. But there is normally a tin of baked beans in the oven and a piece of toast.
I know I am a self directed perfectionist which runs in tandem with my inner critic, my inner imposter and all the others. But have I learnt to be perfect absoluteness definitively not. Have I learnt not to worry about perfection, ok when it comes to housework yes, but many other things definitely no. Xx
