Most of the time, I don't know what I'm going to do until I start
cooking and sometimes even that changes midway. I may have planned to
serve this vegetable with that meat when I made my purchases, but in
the mean time I've been looking at recipes on the internet (or my mood
changes) - which means my original plan goes out the window.

For instance, I have pork chops that I thought I would serve using
this recipe

but delving into the web site, I found a recipe for real Hungarian
noodles (which means I don't have to think about what vegetable to
serve)
http://www.mygourmetconnection.com/r...ge-noodles.php
but I will stop when it gets to the make it into a casserole and bake
point... unless someone who is Hungarian can give me a good reason why
I should bake it too.
