OK. I think I'm smart. I have a Bachelor's degree from a nationally acclaimed state university (besides academically, here's a hint as to where: football AND basketball, sometimes simultaneously). So why is it I can't follow a recipe without a major panic attack? Well, that's an exaggeration. The panic attack is minor, but the need to look back at a simple recipe 100 times is a little bothersome, even one I've made a dozen times. So, I've never been a good cook, as I don't have an instinct for it either. I used to think I was good at details, but evidently I was fooling myself. I really just overcompensated for my deficiencey by forcing myself to concentrate very hard on something. I am good with big abstract ideas. Small details tend to overwhelm me, necessitating me to be very organized, although I'm not. It's a conundrum.
I really have no intention of using the newly recognized ADD as an excuse for all of my errant ways, just some of them ;) Cooking, yes.
