To garden is to fail. 

Often. 

And frequently. 

Sometimes especially. 

What appears to make for a successful gardener are  —  

1. Accepting failure as “the process.”

2. Failing upwards (ie learning and problem solving with each failure). 

    And,

3. Keep growing. 

Same metaphor appears true in life too. 

Special note: In gardening, as in life, the most epic fails later make the best stories.

I love to cook with fresh food, which took decades to cultivate, using recipes from cookbooks and the Internet. I eat fish, shrimp, chicken and pork (beef doesn't agree much with me). I have favorites of Thai, Italian, Greek, Indian, French, Cajun, and American dishes - to name a few. I make pork tenderloin with a wild blackberry-mustard sauce that is crazy good. I make an amazing apple cobbler with cardamom and about half the sugar as most recipes. I mostly stay away from sweets because I end up eating them all.
