An experiment in cooking

[auntiemeesh]

I tried curried chickpeas and vegetables tonight. It's a work in progress, I'd say. Not bad, exactly, but not nearly as yummy as it should be. I'll have to try again in a few weeks. One of these days I'm going to stumble across a recipe that actually turns out well.

Hmm! I hope the cooking progresses. I make some things that aren't quite as yummy as I would hope also. Sometimes I make them repeatedly because I have not idea how to make it better.
My idea of cooking is to take a recipe or a number of similar ones and use what ingredients I have on hand. I may make something pretty much according to instructions the first time but from then on I seldom do. Of course cakes, cookies etc are pretty much according to the recipe but main dishes I tend to play around with.

I once dated a guy who very seriously believed that you could never ever deviate even the slightest from the written recipe. Half the time I'm not even working from a recipe, just throwing random stuff in a pot and hoping it works. There's probably some middle ground in there that works best.
