I cannot cook well by the numbers. i cook by feel. you dont measure how much spice you need to add...you just know. i can follow package directions sometimes, but it just grains against how i do things. unfortunately this makes it very difficult for me to learn how to cook new things. for me to figure out how to cook something good, it has to be demonstrated to me, or i have to go by trial and error until i find my groove. when i make something. I dont go by the directions, you just mix the stuff together until you know it's the right consistency. it makes it difficult to relay that recipe to someone, but when i do it, it works fine. anyway, sionce im finally making my own thing up here i may as well post some of the normal stuff about me, My name is Mike, im 18, I live in California (Northern Bay Area). and Im a Computer Freak/Gamer

A good guide, but none the less, a guide. If a person knows what they are doing, they can make adjustments in their ingredients as they go. Perfect example is my bbq sauces I posted a while back. I almost never make it the same way twice, unless I hit on something that works great. Revord
