Re: What basic life skills have you not mastered yet?

[syncing_feeling]

Cooking. I've made some really simple dishes recently that have turned out great, then I had a cheese sauce disaster tonight and it's knocked my confidence a little. D: My partner says I probably overcooked the roux. It was disgusting.

I'm awful at talking on the phone. If I have to do anything "official" (contacting the bank, council, doctors, etc.) I will try absolutely every other possible way first before forcing myself to pick up the phone. I get so nervous and talk way too fast and jumble my words up. Ugh.

What kind of cheese sauce? And how was it off - was it burnt-tasting and acrid, or really grainy, or what?

Just a really basic run-of-the-mill sauce (butter/flour/milk/cheddar). It came out okay the first time I made it but this one just bleh. The texture was great (no lumps!) but it just tasted like overcooked, sour milk. :( I have a long way to go!

It's really hard to overcook a roux without realizing it, though. A roux can be quite dark brown, depending on what you're making. You say downthread that it tastes like sour milk...are you certain the butter wasn't rancid or the milk hadn't gone off?
