Rick, tasting your food as you cook, I think is part of being a caring cook. I want my food to taste good. I always taste as I cook.
I want people to enjoy what I cook , I want them to have plenty. You come to my house we gonna eat. Now let me say here, I have cooked some things I was not real proud of. CF:)

I agree- having plenty is a big part of it too.

Being single I don't like to have lots of left-overs (because I'll eat every bit of it all, myself!) so I like to send any extras home w/ folks. I love watching folks "wrestle" over the leftovers! :)

Same here :o
My first attempt at my Mom's breakfast gravy was a like a scene from that old horror movie The Blob lol. It kept growing and spilled over the sides of the skillet and I poked it with a fork and it expelled steam lol. In my defense I was 12. My first try at apple pie came out like apple soup lol.
