If you cook regularly you will inevitibly repeat yourself a lot. Of course, there will be occasional flights of inspired experimentation, but generally you are shooting for quality above innovation. Hopefully, then, you will develop some standbys that are worth repeating.
Alice is doing one now, a chili recipe (yes, the temperature is above 90 degrees here in Athens) much beloved by Louise, and one from which no deviation is permitted. In fact, I am generally not allowed to touch this chili while it is being made since I live under a cloud of suspicion that I will try to "improve" it.
I made bread yesterday. It was a lot like the bread I made last week because it is very good and worth doing often: I mixed up dough on Saturday and baked midday Sunday. One great thing about this dough is that it is also versatile. I cut off one piece, shaped it, and made a pizza. Louise took another and made a cinnamon vanilla sugar mix to bake on top. Next time we will add butter and roll it up like a cinnamon roll.
Cinnamon roll sounds delicious!
