Hi Fran!

I have a tendency to set myself up for a stressful situation every time I invite people over for dinner. As I have come to realize, I always decide to try a new recipe for such occasions, resulting in a surprise for both the guests and myself every time. In theory this sounds like a great idea, because the stack of recipes I collect keeps increasing, and it is a good excuse to try them out. In practice, always stressful.

1. I never know if the recipe is to be trusted blindly
