I have never invented a dish, but I also never follow recipes to the T unless I am baking (and sometimes not even then). I usually like to add a little something extra whether it be a bit of hot pepper flakes or some oregeno and I think it usually comes out for the better.
My biggest baking failure was one time I decided that I felt like baking a cake to bring to my parents the next afternoon. I didn't think I was too tired so I made the cake and put it in the oven. I still don't know what made me wake up, but I eventually woke up after the cake had been baking for nearly double the time called for. It didn't catch on fire at all, but needless to say, it was inedible. I still haven't told my parents about that cake :P
I love eating French Onion Sun Chips with a sandwich, Too bad the foodservice where I work only rarely has the french onion flavor. Harvest cheddar are good too, but french onion is the best.
I found a new favorite fall ingredient at the farmers market a while ago. They had the greatest eggplants there for dirt cheap so I decided to try my hand at making eggplant parmesan and it came out AWESOME!
A few weeks ago, I was trying to make a chocolate zuchinni cake from some zuchinni that a co-worker brought in. I completely forgot to put the baking soda in, so the cake did not rise AT ALL! Needless to say, I didn't bring that to work. I asked the person for anothe couple of zuchinnis and made it properly the next time!
Wow, I hate to even answer this question. I think I'd have to go with a really good chocolate fudge too. Oh wait, maybe I'd just want to have a nice big piece of my mom's triple chocolate cake. It is a really simple cake, but is awesome.
I think I'd love to tour Asia (preferably with Andrew Zimmern (from Bizarre Foods)) and try a bit of everything! If I had to be tied down to one answer though, it would be the kabob type things in Korea. I mean come on, marinated meat grilled on a stick, how can you go wrong with that?!
I'd have to find a place that makes good pork dumplings. The only place around where I live that had the good ones stopped making them. Any kind of seafood would be good too, especially crab and scallops.
I would pick Paula Dean. First of all she would be a joy to talk to while she is making dinner and second of course her food always looks great.
My most memorable pie is my aunt's pumpkin pie. It tastes exaclty the same every year and it is always perfect (with cool whip of course)

I did, actually. I put sugar and all kinds of other stuff in one of my mother's nice bowls about 25 years ago. Microwaved it. It set...pretty hard. I think it was hard candy, but I had to throw the bowl away pretty quickly after that. Whoops.
I cook up whatever fresh vegetables I have (brocolli, sweet peppers, onions, and mushrooms are often in the mix) as well as pototoes cut in chunks. The micorwave is fine for that part. Then i mix them all together in a wok with a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. No name for it, but the family likes it.
I am a creative cook, always coming up with something different. I made a dish with Rice A Roni, hamburger, tomato sauce and mozarella cheese- I am Italian, so you must have the cheese!
well i put clams in a macaroni salad once.. :)
Not yet, probably never. garrettsambo@aol.com
I've never invented a dish.
I MODIFY.alot as i go along!
I "invent" almost every time I cook. I often change, modify, or re-arrange recipes depending on what I have available - (waste not want not). Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Well, my 'recipe' is more of a combination of things, but my DH and I find it rather yummy. It's 'name' is called (sorry folks, so not appetizing) "Fartblossoms!" LOL
I make a recipe of Manwich Bold with ground beef. Then I mix it with a couple of cans of pork and beans or baked beans, a little molasses, a little Worcestershire sauce and a little Coleman's dry mustard, some Hormel bacon bits. Cook on the stove or in a crockpot til it is nice and thick. Serve with Frito Scoops.
I originally came up with the recipe when I had leftover Manwich and leftover baked beans and I mixed them together.
This is also my much-requested Baked Bean recipe...when I carry it to potlucks or picnics, I use my antique bean pot as a serving vessel.
Yummy Yummy...It is SO good!
