Finally! My computer if fixed! Now I get to explain yesterday's cooking catastrophe. I have only made 2 dishes that I have been told flat out never to cook again. The first was goulash, which my dad grew up eating and hated...thus the dislike and request never to cook it again. The second was sweet and sour meatballs...they just turned out nasty and I was quick to agree that I shouldn't make them again any time soon. I now have another thing to add to the list. Last night, I decided to make mashed potatoes in a whole new way. I was feeling lazy and decided to use my Idahoan Potato mix-flavor being roasted garlic. The twist I wanted to try was to use half of the water required and then substitute the other half with the left over gravy/broth mix from the last experiment (see previous post). It seemed like a good idea, but the flavor of the broth mix clashed really bad with the garlic. In short, it was disgusting and the smell was so strong I thought I'd die! Lesson learned.
I do want to make one point here. Eventually, I will try to make sweet and sour meatballs again. I will also eventually try to make a goulash recipe that my dad will like. Lastly, I will eventually try the potato concept again...without using garlic flavored potatoes.
On another note, I am trying to make broiled chicken for the first time. We'll see how it turns out!
Cheers!
