Scribbling
Can you read that? Does it make sense? It’s for a one-pot chicken and rice dish.
I hate printing out internet recipes. It seems like such a waste of paper and ink. So I usually just grab a scrap of paper and start scribbling.
I jot the most important things down (spelling doesn’t matter), but sometimes my shorthand confuses me and I have to run back to the computer and doublecheck myself.
The method works fine when I’m cooking right away. However, I do occasionally find stray papers around the kitchen with ingredient lists and cryptic notes that make no sense.
The recipe above is based on the one found here:
It turned out really good, and was very simple. I ended up browning the chicken quickly under the broiler right before serving to make it look more appetizing. But the taste was right on.
Oh, and please, don’t analyze my handwriting…I don’t want to know.
