Playing with food and hitting some home runs from time to time is a process/skill I wish to develop. It would be cool to be able to just take whatever is on hand and make something good with it.
Do you think you just develop a sense of what should work over time by doing lots and lots of cooking or is there some short cuts to make the learning process quicker and more successful?
I think you can short-cut the process. I love this book for tips like that, plus recipes using the tips.Playing with food and hitting some home runs from time to time is a process/skill I wish to develop. It would be cool to be able to just take whatever is on hand and make something good with it.

Just yesterday I thought about trying something different. I was thinking some Mexican, but with pasta. Then I thought, I don't think I've ever heard of any meatballs using Mexican or southwest flavors. So I made some chili sauce with Rotels, poblanos, onions, garlic, cumin, dried oregano, beef stock and chili powder. The meatballs were made with ingredients typical of Mexican cuisine. Today I'll finish as a casserole with pasta and cheese, baked in the oven. I partially baked the meatballs in the oven. If it comes out well, the next time I will tweak it some to see if it can be improved.
