Adventures in cooking!
I decided to try a bit of experimentation this morning with regard to breakfast.
I got some sliced beef and smokey sharp cheddar, and sliced them into very thin
chunks. Took three eggs, and scrambled them up in a pan, then added the above
beef and cheese. Sprinkled in some parsley, a half-tablespoon of chopped garlic,
salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
My original intention was to make an omelette, however that didn't work out as
planned, so it turned into some sort of scrambled-egg concoction. Rather than
eat it alone and plain, I drizzled a touch of tabasco on the result and put it
between two pieces of wheat bread.
It wasn't terrible, but I think it was too complex. I'll have to cut back on the
ingredients if I try something like this again. In any case, tomorrow I plan to
make something at which I'm already quite adept; a hearty beef and tomato sauce
with some pasta and maybe some Italian sausage.

One time, I thought it might be good to mix garlic in with egg salad. I had a jar of pre-chopped garlic in the fridge from when I made meatloaf, and that stuff is also pre-cooked, so I thought it might work. Still, I tried to saute it for a few minutes, just to be on the safe side. It gave off fumes that made my eyes water for five minutes before I gave up and just mixed it into the egg salad. The results: a sandwich that tasted just slightly like feet. Perhaps it would've turned out better with fresh garlic, and perhaps not.

Yikes, that's pretty frightening. I don't know that I've ever created anything that tasted downright nasty (I may have and just blocked it from memory), but a few of my experiments have been of the I'll-eat-it-now-but-never-again variety.
I imagine the foot sandwich ranked up somewhere in there.
