I know someone who refuses to taste while he's cooking. He doesn't believe it's necessary. While he's not a bad cook, his food is often very bland.

I usually follow the recipe, but I prefer tasting it every so often just to be sure. My idea of tasty food may be different from that of whomever wrote the recipe.

Some of the dishes my family and friends liked the most were the result of me experimenting with my own mixes.

That one person is very much the exception. Every other good cook I know tastes food while cooking as appropriate.

my grandma dosn't really measure ... and people always ask her for her recipes and she has to make something up because she does it all according the moment when she is cooking.

I kind of am starting to do the same, adapting recipes to what I like, or just learning to cook with what I have in my cupboards and mixing it all together. I think I am getting pretty good!

I often write down my recipes after the fact - if my family clamors for me to make it again, then I'll write it down. But good luck getting me to follow the recipe exactly the next time!

Although I like to experiment, I also like following recipes. I think that's one of the reasons why I like baking.

Baking! Now that's something where you have to be extremely precise. Adding just 1/8 of a teaspoon too much of an ingredient can have disastrous effects on your product.

two apple pies are baking in the oven.

One turns to the other and says, 'is it hot in here, or is it me?'

The other one replies, "holy ----! A talking apple pie!'

"Pi r squared"
"Pie are not squared. Pie are round."

Who says pie can't be square? I'll bake em that way if I want to!

"I am in shape. Round is a shape."

"The Windmills of Your Mind" from The Thomas Crowne Affair won the 1968 Academy Award for best song.

That award was first given to "The Continental" from 1934's The Gay Divorcee, the second movie to feature Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

It's time for us to get smart and use the windmills in our minds as renewable energy sources.

How Quixotic!

Would that be Alanis Morisette's sequel to "Ironic"? Do you think she'd do this concept better justice than she did Irony?

I think the music from Man of La Mancha got the concept of "quixotic" best.

can you sing us an example?

I wonder what a musical about Quis ("Quisotic"?) would entail.....

I just had a visual of Belinda singing "Memory" from Cats.

Why don't you join her in a duet? Come on, sing for us!

When will we see a musical about Penguins?

Perhaps...we could do one musical starring Quis & Belinda and Rocks & Hyvvie!

With Blok the pet rock making a special appearance!

The Hyvster and I could probably do a great rendition of "Suppertime" from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
