thoughts of nailed it!

shared by Marlo R. Beall, her sister

Our family recently started watching the show Nailed It! on Netflix. It's a cooking competition show that challenges three inexperienced home chefs to compete against each other as they attempt to recreate an elaborate food creation, typically a dessert. The end results are disastrously wonderful.

As we were watching tonight, Andrew mentioned that the show reminded him of Cindy. After a moment of thought, I understood what he meant. Cindy really enjoyed baking, and she had a knack for picking up on things quickly. She would have enjoyed watching the contestants try to make something that was so above and beyond their ability. She would have also been quietly saying to herself, "I could probably do that."

Cindy would have been motivated to try making most of the items on the show on her own, just for fun. I can just picture her pulling out ingredients from the cupboards, just as the show ended, or running to the store to get any necessary additional ingredients. Or she might even sweet talk two of us to join her in an actual timed baking and decorating contest, just like those on the show.

So although she was probably too skilled in the kitchen to ever be on the show, we know she would have genuinely enjoyed watching it. Thinking of how Nailed It! would undoubtedly have made Cindy laugh, I have even more reason to enjoy it too.
