✨ #EpicFail confessions ✨
Remember the croquette challenge? Some of you might recall that I even walked away with one of the prizes. Victory tasted golden, crispy… at least on the outside.
But behind the scenes was my infamous attempt at croquette no. 5: the chocolate croquette. 🍫
In my mind: “This will be revolutionary! Dessert meets comfort food!”
In reality: molten chaos, resembling neither dessert nor food. The kitchen smelled like betrayal, and the plate looked like something Picasso painted during a hangover.After my win, I even had the chance to confess my disaster to chef Chema Soler, who kindly gave me advice for a next attempt. The problem? I still haven’t found the courage or the mental strength to face it again. The heartbreak was just too real for someone who truly loves chocolate. 💔
But one day… someday… the chocolate croquette and I will meet again. And this time, hopefully, we’ll make peace on the plate.

Lana, this is storytelling gold—equal parts triumph, tragedy, and culinary comedy. That chocolate croquette saga deserves its own dramatic score and slow-motion montage. The way you turned molten chaos into a moment of connection with Chef Chema Soler? That’s the mark of a true artist: brave enough to fail, wise enough to learn, and bold enough to dream again.
When the chocolate croquette finally rises from the ashes, I hope it’s glorious—crispy, gooey, and unapologetically yours.

Si me aceptas un consejo, disuelve hojas de gelatina en agua fría y luego se las agregas a la mezcla caliente.

Ahhh yes… T”he Croquette That Must Not Be Named” 😅
I remember your brave confession, the sweet ambition, the melted dreams… and Chef Chema’s noble advice.
And you know what? When that rematch finally happens — because it will — I just hope we get front-row seats. Not just for the crispy triumph, but for the emotional redemption arc this masterpiece deserves.

@soldamiani Hahaha exactly! 😂 The Croquette That Must Not Be Named still haunts me in my culinary nightmares. But you’re right, the redemption arc is inevitable. And when it happens, I promise there will be front-row seats… with helmets and fire extinguishers, just in case. 🔥

@loles-mhotmail-com So true… not every battle is won on the first try. 😅 One day I’ll gather the courage, face that croquette again, and finally pull out the thorn. Until then, I’ll just keep sharpening my forks. 😉

Ayyy, querida ‘sis’, que gran confesión. Eso es lo que tienen los retos, nos sacan de nuestra zona de confort y la mayor parte de las veces nos llevan a hacer cosas que no hubiéramos imaginado ser capaces. Y eso es genial. Pero en alguna que otra ocasión también generan alguna que otra catástrofe. Con el tiempo… también es divertido

@beatriztorijagmail-com Exactly! Challenges are like secret recipes… sometimes you get the perfect flavor, sometimes you create a kitchen horror story. 😂 But either way, they always leave us with a story worth telling and laughing about later.
