history: I cooked a meal for family and it came out horribly. I cooked for family last week and it tasted pretty bad. I know they noticed_comma_ but they didn't say anything. Your family was being polite. If I did that my family would order a pizza_comma_ hah.
current: I can tell they were just being polite too. I let myself down. I'll have to focus more next time.
next: It's all good. Maybe you should try something simple like Hamburger Helper. Can't really  mess that up.
