Good Luck In The Kitchen

Good luck comes in many forms. There have definitely been times in my life when “being lucky” was a loud and clear experience. However, I look at those little times – the little moments when something just goes your way for no real reason – as the true meaning of luck, and being blessed, in my life.

This is never more true than it is when I’m in the kitchen. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve said “well that was lucky” while working in the kitchen or sent up a whispered “thank you” praise when a disaster is averted. How many of these incidents can you relate to?

When turning from the stove to the sink to drain a boiling pot of pasta, I stumbled over Jill who had been all the way on the other side of the room just moments before. My feet tripped, but luckily my hands held firm to the handle of the pot and not even a single drop splashed out of the pan.
I was baking cookies and realized just before I got ready to put them in the oven that I had completely forgotten to add the brown sugar that was called for. Luckily I was able to salvage them with a little tweaking and delicious cookies were enjoyed by all!
Every year I make Eric a corned beef and cabbage dinner for his birthday. And every year, he uses enough mustard during that dinner to cover the entire state of Michigan. One year, we ran out of mustard, which was definitely sad news to him. This year, as I was getting ready to take the Birthday Dinner dishes down to the table, I grabbed the mustard and realized it was dangerously low. I rushed to the pantry to find the extra bottle that I knew was there. Except when I opened the door, I couldn’t find any mustard. Then Alex and Olivia said they knew where it was and saved the day. The mustard had somehow (who knows how) ended up with their toys. Luckily, it had never been opened and was completely full. Whew…birthday dinner saved!
