"I know all my recipes by heart because I just make stuff up."
You and I are the extreme opposites on this one.

Me too! I wish I could be like that but it never comes out okay unless I follow someone else's directions to a T.

My grandmother and mother just measured with handfuls and by eye. I did not know about recipes until I went to school. Baking is an exact science and you do not get excellent results unless you follow the directions. Cooking is different. You can pretty much throw anything into something like soup or stew and it works.

Years ago, (2001-2), I made a cookbook for my friends for Christmas. I got some side eye but I had made everything and wrote it down right then so it was the receipe at the time. A friend just randomly texted me a few weeks ago about how she still uses one of the chicken recipes and has made it so much that she just has it memorized as "Jen's chicken", lol. I was so proud.

Love it. I too make my recipes up and don't follow instructions well. I got an unsatisfactory grade in grade school for not following directions. Sigh. Luckily my working career was mainly that of business owner, and being in civil engineering, thinking outside the box and innovation was an asset not a liability. Just had to make sure that infrastructure didn't fall down! Never had a failure. I even bake without measuring, I eyeball accurately though.
Good morning JB and Menu folks.
JB, my youngest son is now a full time Teacher, he is teaching grades 10 and 11, History! He accepted a job about 35 minute drive from home and loves the district. Great mentor and staff.
I did not know that Agatha Christie had mysteriously disappeared, I will have to check it out. Speaking of disappearing, it is amazing the 9 year old girl that was abducted from a campground was found safe in upstate Ny. about 2 hours South of me. I always complain about NY taxes, have to say the NY State Police did a wonderful job.

I make a mean Chili Sauce for hotdogs that my Dad taught my husband before he passed away. Too bad he took his Meat stuffing he made at Thanksgiving with him when he passed. I tried and my brother has but nope we cannot mimic it or even come close.
