    Especially if it's a messy recipe.

    Thanks a ton guys! I'll look around online and in stores and stuff. I know that real cooking is done by invention, but I've never really baked much before, even though I'm like, 17 (tomorrow), besides some from-the-box cupcakes with my Mom. So I need to take baby steps. xD

    Baking is a tad different. But sauces, seasonings, and etc. should have variation!

    Goldenboko misses the joke

    A Veggie Venture - Vegetable inspiration from Asparagus to Zucchini has some interesting recipes I have wanted to try forever but never have yet.

    This makes no sense. It's like "I'd rather be stabbed repeatedly than make love to a beautiful woman whom I love and who loves me equally."

    Or like "I do not want to eat this incredibly tasty pie."

    Phone books have plenty of listings for insane asylums, I suggest you use this as a starting point. Because nothing you are saying makes any sense whatsoever.

    I use recipes as a rough guideline. One time I was making cranberry bread and the recipe called for four eggs so I used one. That was some dry cranberry bread.

    Whatever you make, be sure to add plenty of cowbell.
