Rarely do I make the same recipe twice--just as I rarely, if ever, read the same book twice! There are just too many wonderful recipes out there--(actually, allrecipes is one of the few places I come to find them)--why make the same thing every time??? I LOVE cooking, in spite of the fact that I do it so infrequently. Everything. Still finding my way towards things I and my husband both love to eat and that I am really good at making. Puerto Rican cooking--but being in the South now haven't had that for quite a while (except for some recao and black beans my sweet cousin mailed me recently!). If I actually go as far as making it, then it's a "triumph"! No tragedies, only a few disappointments.
