Julia Childs started it. Martha Stewart followed. Then came the Barefoot Contessa and Giada De Laurentiis. Why not give it a try? Maybe because it's a challenge too far. But so what!
Successful cook Gordon Ramsay made flatbread in a five-minute segment that looked so easy. One can’t fail. Everybody loves flatbread.
As Harry Halloween explained in his tell—too—much—autobiography, he warmed up his near-frozen private part (with the same Elizabeth Arden cream his mother used on her lips) the day his brother (the next in line for the British throne) got married. So, okay, so far. Maybe.
He immediately thought of his mother when he smelled the scent of the Elizabeth Arden cream as he treated his popsicle. Yikes!
No more, maybe.
Now really? The mind zig-zags in several directions, producing the erection of one spectacular question mark!
Following Mr. Ramsay’s recipe closely, the batter resembled milk with lumps. More flour was added. The batter graduated into something that looked like wall plaster. Dropping a half cup into a Jamie Oliver frying pan heated with olive oil, the batter remained in a ball shape and did not spread out like Gordon Ramsay’s flatbread.
Instead, it looked like a cupcake in the center of the pan, as though frozen. Hark! There it is again. No way did it even resemble Gordan Ramsay’s flatbread.
Maybe Elizabeth Arden’s cream in the frying pan would have been the solution.
Maybe, mellowed out the cupcake-shaped dough into flatbread?
Try, try again.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
