not gonna lie, i genuinely thought that following a cooking show was a foolproof plan to become a culinary wizard. so there i was, aggressively whisking egg whites at midnight, convinced that this was my breakout moment. but when i opened the oven and saw a charred, pancake-shaped tragedy, i realized my “gourmet breakfast” was just a hot mess that would probably fuel a horror movie.
