so...anyone here make up their own recipes?
ive been trying, and failing to make that dish that is just *so* good that you cant stop eating it.
so far the closest ive come is a squid/oyster/shrimp/octopus/crab gumbo that is a variation of a 'normal' recipe of gumbo that uses chicken and sausage.
problem with it is that it seems to come out slightly different every time i make it; and though it has almost got that you cant stop eating it quality, its just not quite there. i duno how to adjust it since to me, i cant really detect slight changes in flavor that adding say a dash extra of spice X or whatnot. heck, i usually cant even say just what a flavor that im detecting is
