…with Gary Moss

It’s not a pretty sight but it’s a necessary step if you want to enjoy a roast goose in plum and apple sauce. The finished presentation looks so much more appetizing and causes mouths to salivate. But there were a lot of steps and a lot of preparation that needed to occur to achieve the ends. Similarly, there are many step to go through as you prepare your scrabble feast. Learning the words and the basic strategies is a lot like plucking feathers. Without going through this step, you’ll always be a kitchen table scrabble player.
The chef learns about seasonings and stuffings; there are tools that make the job easier like proper knives, the roasting pan, and even the type of oven with the proper settings. If asked, a chef may tell us stories about the first time he cooked a goose and subsequent times when he improved on his techniques and recipes.

The competitive scrabble player learns about the words, the use of hot spots to earn premium points, hooks, bingos, and tracking. She learns about tools that make her job easier like WHIZ CARDS, The Franklin, Zyzzyva, and Quackle. If asked, the seasoned player could tell you stories of the thrill of victory and the agony of defeats.

Be it culinary arts, scrabble, or some other pursuit, there is a process, there are steps and stages, time and practice are required for mastery.

If you have not put in your time, if you have not been properly schooled and prepared, when you attend your first scrabble competition, I can guarantee you that your goose will be cooked.
