Flops can happen. Especially if you just wing it like I do and not follow a known recipe. I seem to stay far away from recipes most of the time and just let creativity lead the way with what’s on hand. It’s always a surprise. And whether you flop or not you learn from the process. Enjoy the ride

Saw Just Mercy (excellent) and came home to pizza dough rising nicely. Baked two small pesto/mozz cheese flatbreads and sautéed garlic spinach. Tomorrow 1917 and grilled chicken subs.

Tonight I made this Jewish pomegranate chicken in the Instant Pot, served over freekeh boiled in cumin broth. I used b/s thighs and an immersion blender to smooth the sauce.
Sweet and crunchy kale salad with homemade dressing on the side.

I am very acquainted with food flops. They are way more prevalent when I’m using a recipe than when I wing it. I’ve never gotten the hang of following directions. I used to teach cooking classes and there were way too many times when class participants had to “remind” me to do something called for in the recipe.

You give two people same recipe and ingredients and it would come out completely different. I might look something up for a guide. I don’t follow them at all . And how boring would that be .
