somebody shut me the fark up.
I had a really nice USDA Choice Chuck roast, and smoked it today. I wanted to have sliced beef sandwiches and potato salad for my meal today. I did a simple salt and pepper rub on the Chucky, and let it cook. It was awesome, but that is somewhat beside the point of this post.
Yesterday, I made my potato salad. You have to make your potato salad at least a day early, IMO. It has to have that time for the flavors to combine.
Here is where the question of this thread matters. I'm being long-winded, but try to stay with me.
Potato salad is really easy, IMO. There are a small handful of ingredients in common, and from there, every cook has their own twist. I made a potato salad yesterday with NO recipe. It came out very good. Seriously good. I used boiled red potatoes, diced onions, mayo, apple cider vinegar, some herbs, and salt and pepper. I can't tell you how much of anything, because I didn't measure. I mixed all the stuff together before I poured it on the potatoes, and tasted and added stuff until it tasted right.
So, what is the point of this thread?
Well, I'd like to know where the brethren balance recipes with seat-of-the-pants cooking. I am not good at following recipes, which is why I don't do much baking.
So, brethren, are you more of a "follows instructions" cooker, or more of a "fly by the seat of your pants" cooker.
I finally got to the point. :becky:
So, what say yee, brethren?
