Judging a bird by its feathers

Have you ever spent hours preparing and cooking something and then feel terribly down when you see that it does not look quite like the photo in the cook book? Well i have and i guess lots have been through this. The question is, what do i do then? Throw it away and say to yourself that you will never do it again? or that you must have done a mistake somewhere?
It happened to me today(again!). Here i was, making this so easy( that's what they say) apple crumble and when it was ready, i must admit that it looked horrible! However i was pleasantly surprised to see the 'I-reached-heaven' look on my husband face when he took the first bite! It was a wow! Could that terrible looking thing i made be so delicious and i risked myself to try it and oh my...that was SOMETHING! 
So, believe me guys, never judge a bird by its feathers...taste it ( no, i don't eat birds!). Ugliness, my friends, can be the screen behind which is hiding most wonderful delight.
