You can't put your finger on it, or hold it, or call it your own and label it and put it in the walk-in. I've found myself knee deep in books, and blogs, and menus, and pics, then i switch it all off, and regergitate something I consider creative, yet 6 months later, i'll be leafing through a cookbook and see the exact dish I thought I was creative with! I had no intention to re-create something of someone else.

I was about 6 or7, him about 3 or 4, mom and dad were away and we were feeling in the mood for food. So we decided to take a chicken breast we had the night before, mix mustard, ketchup, mayo, relish, butter, salt pepper, and some random vegetables. Once the chicken breast we tossed it in the frying pan, much to my mother's horror. We were busted. But out of all this chaos, Chicken Shit was borne.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236611448759376203noreply@blogger.com
