Ohhhh, Andeeeeee. You are like those guys I had to train behind
the bar after the movie "Cocktail" came out! They'd put out drinks that
were the wrong gd COLOR but do some fantastic moves between pouring
and serving. Bahhstahhds almost put my eye out. (They were all elbows and
I am petite.)

The old "that was wonderful and what is more important you looked
MARVELOUS while doing it" does not work in cooking, tending bar, and ...
um ... other things. In my experience. The most important thing is the end
product! Better to look like a good getting there than to not get there at
all!
To good food, of course, or a good drink, is what I mean.
