I just threw together a quick marinade for some chicken leg quarters I'll be cooking tonight and realized I never cook the same thing twice. I'll typically throw together whatever sounds good at the time and roll with that. For instance, tonight the marinade started simply as lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary, garlic-ginger paste and salt and pepper. Pretty standard marinade. But then the voices told me to keep at it so in went some dijon mustard and a splash of worchestershire sauce. I haven't cooked it yet but I'm sure it will be good. My creations are always good somehow. Which is maybe why I can never stop experimenting. If ever I decide to cook something I'm slightly unfamiliar with I'll go online and look for a recipe, but I can never find one that just sounds right. So I'll use a few as a general guide and create something completely unique.
So my question is, how do you cook? Are you a stick-to-the-recipe type person who measures everything? Or do you throw whatever strikes your fancy together and cross your fingers? Actually, the crossing of fingers is somewhat unnecessary. Somehow the creations always turn out.
EDIT: Oh, forgot to mention I added a pinch of allspice. I'm crazy!
