for the first time in a long time, i threw together something to eat and it was actively bad. not because of parosmia or any other external thing, it just genuinely wasn't good. i barely finished it and was really glad it was one serving. #humbled

#think i might be going a little too crazy on the white pepper #also think i don't know rice vinegar well enough to just use it no recipe #and i fear i may also have a similar situation with tahini #yes tahini is just sesame seeds so where sesame seeds can go it can go #however! you have to keep in mind a teaspoon of tahini is 3.5 billion sesame seeds 😔 you must wield this power cautiously #i got really emboldened with that yum yum sauce the other day that was really really cool that i could just pull sauce out of the air #but that doesn't mean i can just slap together like 9 different ingredients 2 of which i'm not best friends with yet #and expect an incredibly delicious meal every time #just like 9/10 times lmao #adam yaps #i guess this is just growing pains #bc of my parosmia i can't just endlessly alternate between french and italian cooking principles #most of what i know is completely out the window without onions #so i'm having to cook in ways i historically have only experienced as a customer #and let me tell you. cooking was not 'coming naturally' to me before. i spent my first decade on earth as my mom's sous.#ofc i had a 'knack' when i started doing it solo #i have never soused for anyone cooking complex asian cuisine so unfortunately the 'knack' is not nearly as present u_u
