![]() I was talking about professional chefs--yes, that almost certainly means people who spent some time in culinary school. Ones who like to create their own dishes, and they usually taste good, because they've been taught about what flavors go well with each other. And they've learned exactly what the ingredients "bring" to the dish--like Cream of Tartar, and Baking Powder; whole eggs vs egg whites only, etc.--and have a good sense of how much the dish needs to end up right. However, some women cooks at home taste the food while they are cooking it. If it doesn't taste quite right, they'll add this or that. If it's got too much of this or that, they'll do something to compensate (like if the tomato sauce is too bitter, they'll add a little bit of sugar, etc.) I would include them, too. I wouldn't dare do much of that myself--I try to follow the recipe exactly or it will turn out a mess. Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 02-15-2017 at 11:31 PM. |

Who knows? The creation that you described might taste good. But, 10 minutes is probably a little too long to cook it. Ack! I love the Velvetta and Ro-Tel tomatoes dip. Yum. Signed, The Gr8 One. Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 02-16-2017 at 07:03 PM. |

![]() I don't make my own salsa, but I can try that recipe with some store-bought (good quality--I like "Taco Bell," believe it or not. It tastes nothing like (i.e., it's far better than) anything that you can get at the TB restaurants). Oh, if you don't do the cheese thing, I wouldn't want either beef or chicken. Since you live in Texas, I'd like something more natural to Texas--like Armadillo (no road kill, though, please) or rattlesnake. |

Ok, I will do the cheese since both Amarillo and rattlesnake are hard to come by. Hey tablet that was supposed to be armadillo not Amarillo. |

Amarillo? Cow country? I literally had one of the worst steaks I have ever eaten, while passing through there.

You must not live in the right part of Texas. There are parts of Texas where they abound. I'm not going to get all of the details right about this, but years ago, a fellow who lived in Texas--a tiny little place northwest of Austin--told me about some kind of rattlesnake roundup that some place (I assume not very far from there) had, a thing like a fishing tournament, but only you're trying to catch as many rattlesnakes as possible, instead of fish. If I'm not mistaken, he said that people would actually reach into crevices and holes and things on the sides of cliffs and pull them out. But, they may be like game animals, where people can get them for themselves or accept them as gifts, but you really can't buy them anywhere. |

And yes I am in the correct part of Texas, but I am more scared of what I would find with the rattlesnakes. Oh and keep in mind on that roundup, they are just invading a few known dens. And no they are not available in a store. |
