While chopping up the veg and sausages for my casserole today for tea, I was thinking "wow, what a learning curve this has been for me, learning to cook then the whole timing of it when cooking multiple things".
I could never cook til I met the mr, he taught me sooo much about how to live, which I am so very thankful for. he's taught me how to cook so many things! When I first started cooking, I would always cry "oh Ive fooked this up, ur gonna hate it, Im trying so hard, but it's just not working! :-("
5 years on, I'm sooo proud of myself and my cooking. Im not great, but Im god damn good to what i used to be like.
It made me think about the learning curves life throws at us.
What learning curves has life thrown at you? Ones u are still enduring or look back and make u proud as punch :thumbup:
For me it has to be cooking and generally how to live.
And I thought this was going to be about learning your curves :rascal:
How to swing on here lol I'm shite at it but I still love the open mindedness and live n let live acceptance of different choices and tastes on here.
It's made me a better person in terms of trying to see the other persons point of view before I form any opinions hopefully in a balanced way.
ok geek time - equation for learning curve
y = ax b
given the theory that a manual repetative task will eventually take less time due to the learning curve!
see all those years studying and can now spout useless shite.
Learning to cook greek food ( taught by a fellow s h member thanks.....S ) and still trying to get to grips with it ;;lol
actually thinking about it, cake decorating is probably the biggest one for me.
have always been interested in cooking and try out lots of different cuisines but have never been any good at baking, all that has changed now and then the decorating of them too, i guess i am proud of myself with that
Probably work based things where i've kinda of been dropped in it and had to learn to swim. like the time i want to rig the cameras for a gig at wembley arena and the director and vision mixer got stuck in traffic, so my first go at vision mixing and directing a live event was in front of 18,000 people :eeek:

surprized he lets ya near the basid cooker after the ...INCIDENT lol :lol: bet he dont let ya iron the pillow cases :lol:
You mean I had to learn all that shit? :shock:
The living life is all about learning. I will never be perfect but through lifes learning Ive become a more confident person got rid of the rubish in my life and Ive changed the dynamics of certain situations in my life. Life just keeps getting better.
Swinging has given me a self confidence about my body that I never had before.
But some1 help me I need to learn how to have a sense of humer smile
Humor, you have it or you don't.
I have a dry humor, and sometimes it is misunderstood.

I always thought u must have a talent in baking, what with the standard of amazing cakes u bake are! I'm not all that good at baking, but it takes some (can't think of the word) to excel from not being all that good, to baking amazing cakes!
Glad ur proud, I certainly would be! :thumbup:

Sorry redface

Well done cream your post seems like you are really proud of yourself and you should be, we are never to old to learn anything out of life.
I would say mine is learning about myself and how I had such little confidence in my own abilities and realising I used to when younger listen to too much of people around me and believe what they said. Rather than listen to my own mind and take no notice of of what others say about you.
I am now teaching my children the skills I learnt in life, never let another bring you down, raise above it and believe in yourself.

see all those years studying and can now spout useless shite.

y=ax +b is a straight line....not a curve which would be in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c
If off to sort my quadratics out lol

Good thread! :thumbup:
I have been on a learning curve, with regards to a family member who has fallen apart, due to something that happened to him when he was a child.
The learning curve was about people who have dropped out of "society" - alcoholics, down-and-outs, drug addicts, etc - and the fact that sometimes, (and I reckon it's probably a lot more than we give credit for) - sometimes, it's due to horrendous events that the majority of us can be thankful we don't have to even contemplate.

I totally agree with u there :thumbup: We should never judge alcoholics, drug abusers, homeless people cos we have no idea of the possible tragic event(s) that drove them to it.
That's really cool wwhat u said Cherry smile
