i am ABSOLUTELY terrified to fry food! lol i've never fried french fries or bacon. both get baked. baking both also seems to be more convenient - no need to hover in the kitchen.
When cooking I'm never fully satisfied with the recipe as it is or the meal with how it is turning out and I'm always adding stuff right up until the last minute, be it chives, a can of tomatoes, chipotle powder, or a dash of sriracha. Sometimes it works out for the better, sometimes it ruins the dish, but usually it has little to no effect on it as whole. For some unexplainable reason though the tinkering is a habit I can't seem to break.
My most common moves are to add garlic salt to anything boiling, even water, and a sliver of butter to ground beef as I brown it. I'm not sure that it does much but it makes for some pretty great cooking smells.
I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?
I improvise recipes and can usually recreate it by tastes alone.
Smelling is like tasting for me.
I was a natural in the kitchen as soon as I began with no prior training, but rather relying on the combinations of flavors and smells I enjoyed in foods prior.
I hate touching sausages with my bare hands.....
I hate touching raw chicken. I also spend too long perfecting my presentation of food...
I hate following recipes so I always add my own interpretation often with surprisingly good results. I make a kind of Creole stew/casserole with chicken & shrimp that I have had rave reviews on but I never make it the same way. One gf told me I should open a restaurant on the basis of that one dish alone. What's weird (or awesome) is every time I make it for a woman I get laid.
When I was a kid I ate raw macaroni. Don't know why. It was really crunchy.
I love to eat desert before the main course, if I lose my appetite I can miss the main but missing dessert is something to cry over
