I have gotten some wonderful ideas! Last year I made a tourtiere because
someone posted a recipe here, I started googling other recipes and made one
for Christmas. Never heard of it before that. I don't cook much by recipe
but by concept and I love reading how others combine ingredients well, and I
just try things. It's fun!
