Failure

Well, folks, one of the saddest things that can happen while cooking happened today. I tried a new recipe (for "Chicken alla Milanese"), and it was not good. It tasted extremely strongly of parsley and it just was a disappointment and a failure. And worse, it was a waste. I wasted food, time, and money. To try to at least get something out of it, I scraped the parsley mixture off the chicken breasts and will save them to try to put the chicken in something else (such as making a Campbell's Select Chicken Noodle soup more chicken-y, like I ended up doing for my lunch). It's times like this I really can't wait until Michael moves here, because even if he doesn't like it, he'll eat it anyway. Anyone else have recipe failure happen to them? Sucks, huh?
