When I’m disappointed with my own cooking I just pretend I ordered the dish from a bad restaurant, and then it doesn’t seem so bad.
@danielpunkass I made a lemongrass chicken recipe for us and our company tonight and totally forgot to add the dressing that carried all the heat from the peppers. In my defense the recipe had 3 sauce/dressing mixes in it it. I commented on the lack of heat, hauled out the sriracha and then realized my mistake. 🤦🏻‍♂️ All involved need to give this “restaurant” another shot.
Or I just shouldn’t try to make Vietnamese food.
@danielpunkass I give myself three tries with any new recipe, especially if it’s a new style or involves some unfamiliar technique. The first two tries are “experiments” and if it doesn’t work out after the third try I figure I’m not getting it and move on. Also: bad days happen.
