This endeavor was quite an adventure of which I gathered I have no patience for cooking. I was hungry, so I decided I was going to make pasta with Alfredo sauce. I boiled some water and then put the noodles in. While I was waiting for them to cook I started the make the white sauce. I looked up a recipe online for a simple way to make the sauce. After successfully putting in the milk and butter, I started to have trouble with the flour. No matter how long I cooked it, I couldn't get out the clumps. Once I had given up on making the sauce, I turned back to the boiling noodles. They never seemed to be ready. I kept checking them, but they never seemed fully cooked. At one point I finally gave in and just drained the noodles and put the Alfredo sauce on top on them. They didn't taste horrible, but they were average at best. It was a success in the case that I didn't starve.
I need to learn the art of cooking before I am hungry so I am not so impatient. I also learned, after the fact from my mentor, to sift the flour into the pan so it does not clump. Good advice to know for next time I try to cook a sauce that includes flour. Overall, it's more experience that I get and one step closer to my goal of becoming a better cook.
