Have you ever had things you wish you’d done differently, and you’d like to help others avoid making same mistakes? I know I do…
Like ever making any of the recipes in this Dean and Deluca cookbook. I tried 2 of them, and the second recipe I tried was voted the worst thing I’ve ever cooked by the whole family. I actually fed it to the dogs. Good thing I got it at the library and didn’t actually purchase it..I also got Caprial Cooks for Friends from the library at the same time, and got a recipe from that for a spicy mango glazed pork tenderloin that was the best thing I’ve made in a while. If I had it to do again, I would have made more stuff from the Caprial book…and left the other one on the shelf, pretty pictures and all.
I bought the curved shaft model of weed trimmer because it was cheaper. I wish I’d just spent the extra $ for the straight shaft because it would have made the job easier.
I planted a nice shade garden around my front door a few summers ago…I wish I had realized that my dogs loved lying in the cool dirt there so much before I put the plants in.
I have a track-off mat in my kitchen to catch all the snow that falls off the kids boots and stuff…I wish I had gotten the bigger version so it would have room for 4 kids to take of their snowy stuff when they come in from sledding…
When I had a neighbor who was unkind to me because I’m single, yet still sent her kids over to my house to play in the summer afternoons because she didn’t want to deal with them and they would start fights with my kids, I’d politely tell her that I’m not interested in providing free babysitting services a lot sooner than I did.
I’m sure I can think of a few more…what would you do differently?
