What recipe?

 

     A while back, I heard that turmeric was good for people with MS.  DH loves a good curry so I learned to make my own curries.  His favorite is my lamb curry.  I followed a few recipes but, as I usually do with many things I cook, I began to throw the thing together more by ‘feel’ than measurements.  Yes, I’m one of those cooks.

     I think I learned the throw together method from my father and the way he made the most heavenly turkey soup every year from the left over Thanksgiving turkey.  I have that soup down pat now although I make it with chicken because DH isn’t fond of turkey.  The worst thing to do is ask me for ‘the recipe’ because I don’t really have one.  I modify most recipes to suit our taste. 

     If you want a copy of one of my recipes, you have to come to my kitchen and watch me cook because I don’t have many of them written down.  My white clam sauce recipe is in my head.  I learned it from a local Italian restaurant owner/chef after I complimented him on how delicious his was.  Before I knew it, he whisked me to his kitchen to teach me how to make it.
