Turos Csusza (Pasta with Cottage Cheese)
I'm not entirely sure how I stumbled across this, but I'm a huge fan of making new and interesting things. Having no background in Hungarian cuisine, the combination of sour cream and cottage cheese on pasta sounded bizarre--so I knew I had to try it. It's extremely easy to make; at no point did I have to write down the ingredients and amounts, just eyeballed it and adjusted it to my taste. Cooking the bacon as the water boils means this dish is done in under 10 minutes. Super easy. The taste of it is incredible, too--warm and creamy and strangely satisfying. It's so simple and so delicious that it's going to become part of my regular meal rotation, and probably something I will pass down to my children. Thank you!

Cheesy Crab Burritos
The filling on its own was quite bland and required some spicing up. (I added garlic and some cilantro to mine, others might find cumin more to their liking.) It's also WAY too heavy to serve solo in a burrito. If I listened closely, I could hear my arteries cussing at me every time I took a bite. After eating one burrito with this stuff, I decided I wasn't going to inflict it on guests, so I put it in the refrigerator to figure out what to do with later. The next day I decided to make taquitos with it, and they were inhaled by family and friends. I would take that as a thumbs up, at least. Summary: Cheesy crab burritos bad. Cheesy crab taquitos good!

Curried Salmon Bake
I had a leftover bottle of green curry paste and a can of coconut milk, so I figured why not? I doubled the amount of curry paste, added some garlic powder and lime juice and mixed it all in with the coconut milk. I decided to marinate the salmon in it for about two hours prior, and I ended up baking it with all the marinade poured on. Ended up with a wonderful flavor, and I was super-pleased that it came from such a simple recipe. 4/5 only because I ended up substituting a major ingredient; I have no idea how this tastes with sour cream.
