Guest guest Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 You are brave! I don't like doing that... I would have been utterly HEATED to spend $30 and it be crappy! Heck, I don't like spending $3!! LOL Only when I feel brave do I " splurge " on un known foods LOL. Of course we all know I rather have someoen who knows what she/he is doing to cook it and let me taste it THEN For me to attempt to make it on my own LOL!

It's like an art, I want to get in the kitchen and work with a sink full of ingredients and see how it turns out. Yes, some have ended up a very ugly disaster...LOL I will never ever forget some recipe for a Chinese roasted chestnut soup with $30 worth of ingredients that I had to go find in 4 different stores. I was intriged with the sound of the recipe. It was the worst color , like gutter water and I got up enough courage to taste it. The taste was even worse................LOL Donna J Lyn <poet_atrabilious wrote: Photos always help me. Visual learner and all! If a cookbook doesn't have pictures for EVERY recipe.. I won't buy it!

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 ARGH! I totally understand that. I made a capers pasta thingy once...it looked good in the photo. Tasted like death. Those little buggers aren't cheap either. I think I spent around $30 on the ingredients too. Man did that make me mad. ~Mel --- J Lyn <poet_atrabilious wrote: > You are brave!

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 I feel your pain! When food experiments taste bad-- it takes me a while to get up the nerve to try something else. I haven't done any radically new dish since I made that brown rice and it was HORRIBLE! YUCK. I experimented yestearday with soy " chicken " strips, salsa, spring mix salad, and mozzerella cheese (yummy) but that is all stuff I knew was good alone .. so I tried it in a tortilla! Not guts need there LOL! J Lyn Melissa Hill <assilembob wrote: ARGH! I totally understand that. I made a capers pasta thingy once...it looked good in the photo. Tasted like death.
