for the first time in a long time, i threw together something to eat and it was actively bad. not because of parosmia or any other external thing, it just genuinely wasn't good. i barely finished it and was really glad it was one serving. #humbled
#think i might be going a little too crazy on the white pepper#also think i don't know rice vinegar well enough to just use it no recipe#and i fear i may also have a similar situation with tahini#yes tahini is just sesame seeds so where sesame seeds can go it can go#however! you have to keep in mind a teaspoon of tahini is 3.5 billion sesame seeds 😔 you must wield this power cautiously#i got really emboldened with that yum yum sauce the other day that was really really cool that i could just pull sauce out of the air#but that doesn't mean i can just slap together like 9 different ingredients 2 of which i'm not best friends with yet#and expect an incredibly delicious meal every time#just like 9/10 times lmao#adam yaps#i guess this is just growing pains#bc of my parosmia i can't just endlessly alternate between french and italian cooking principles#most of what i know is completely out the window without onions#so i'm having to cook in ways i historically have only experienced as a customer#and let me tell you. cooking was not 'coming naturally' to me before. i spent my first decade on earth as my mom's sous.#ofc i had a 'knack' when i started doing it solo#i have never soused for anyone cooking complex asian cuisine so unfortunately the 'knack' is not nearly as present u_u
