Recipe Drift

[rooftop1000]

I have been thinking about making Dave the Cook's Barbecued Shrimp which I have made many times since the great Pig Pickin'. But I realized after a while I that I had stopped looking at the recipe, and I never made the same amount so it actually started coming out funny and not HaHa funny so it will be back to exact measurements next time for me.

Anyone have a go to recipe that you sometimes need to check to see what's wrong with dinner

This is of course very differant than people who wont use Salt and then say your recipe sucked when they made it

When I was single and burning way more calories, I used to make fettuccine Alfredo weekly. After a while I stopped looking at the recipe, stopped measuring anything, and even forgot where I found the recipe in the first place. This became a problem when I tried scaling up to family-sized portions. It never turned out quite right.

We don’t make Alfredo sauce much any more, but I did finally rediscover the recipe. It came from a slim paperback Good Housekeeping cookbook that dates back to when I first started feeding myself. I cooked up a batch of fettuccine Alfredo not long ago, and the scaled-up recipe tasted as good as ever.
