as all women we spent countless hours in the kitchen cooking thousand of meals we try to prepare them to be perfect with the best tatse but the problem arise when you set down to eat your family loves it but you dont you think it could be better youve had it when other people have prepared it and it just doesnt tatse as good when they prepared it could it be because you stood over a hot stove to prepare it could it be you know your not done you still ahev to clean up tell me do you feel the same way or is it just me

It is possible that the rest of the family is experiencing your meal as a whole and since you cooked it and know exactly what ingredients went into it that you are tasting the individual parts of the food and not the combination. It could also be that (no offense) your cooking isn't fantastic however your family couldn't do it any better so they are enjoying something they couldn't have done their selves while you are eating just another one of the meals you cooked. Just some thoughts they may not apply to your case but who knows.

yeah I wasn't trying to be negative or anything I was just saying that we usually judge our own work more stringently than others do.

Sometimes. If I've cooked it myself it is always rewarding to sit down and eat it too though.

Well I for myself dont see the difference between myself cooking for my family or someone cooking for them the only thing that could change is maybe the only difference but food is always food and we need it to live and have energy everyday.Hope you liked my response,have a nice day.
