I'm not really sure what to call this. Basically I made the pot roast I watched mom make last night, but with chicken instead of beef and opted to keep the broth for maybe something soup-ish tomorrow instead of for gravy tonight. It turned out to be very tasty. And the best part is, I completely winged it! I may prove to have a learning curve yet! I'm pretty excited because this is one baby step closer to being able to improvise with impunity, which is truly the goal here.
Now that's something I had not quite thought of doing! :) Actually, I still steal cooking styles from other people any chance I get. It's not the recipes I try to keep as much as the way of assembling the foods. My newest fad is stir-frying like Derek. We've made all kinds of tasty meals out of random things put together in that style. The other one I wish I had a better feel for was Sonali's sauce...that buttery cognac sauce she made over the random bagel bread pudding was awesome. Those are things I don't think I have much of an idea of how to build from scratch. Really though, very few things come out not tasty good enough to eat.
