Cook something for too long and is is over cooked, burnt, inedible, cook it too little and it is still raw, unset, and kinda slimy and again, inedible. It is amazing what time can do. It can ruin something beyond recognition or leave it still quivering and runny. But time can also produce perfect results. It can change something that seemed unsaveable into something better, maybe still a work in progress but definitely a lot better than it was before. Sometimes you can scrape off the burnt crust and find that the insides are not quite done and need just a little bit more to become perfect or at least better. Add a little more TLC and it becomes something else completely, I am consistently amazed at what time can do and when I think something is done, I find that it is not, and that it has transformed into something else. Something I can work with, something I know that I can give my attention to and help to turn it into exactly what I wanted and was looking for....a little time...that is all I need...just a little time...
