I'm like you, Judith. I love spinning my spice rack around and saying, "Hmm, I wonder how this would taste?"
We rarely have dinner guests so I don't get a lot of feedback, but the other night a friend dropped by during dinner. I made chilli. He commented that I "had a great combination of spices." I was so proud. I felt like I invented chilli.
My late "mother-in-law" loved my banana pudding. That "recipe" was passed down to me from my mother...and I'll take it to my grave.

Fossy`s Brown Oat Loaf
Ingredients
2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
475 ml non dairy milk (I use soy, but I have read that only genetically modified is available in USA, you may prefer almond or oat milk)
Mix together and allow to stand while other ingredients are prepared. This will thicken.
Pre heat oven to 200deg C (400 F) or if fan forced 180 deg C (350F)
1/8 tsp stevia (or 2 tsp sugar)
1tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarb soda
1 tsp salt
Mix together then add
25g wheat germ (or LSA or oat bran)
30 g sunflower seed
30g poppy seed
30g flaked almonds
30g pepitas
55g oats (not quick oats)
300g SR wholemeal flour and 80g SR flour
When thoroughly mixed add the milk and cider vinegar mix. Mixture will be wet.
Grease 23cm x 13cm loaf tin and add mix. ( I put a piece of baking paper on the bottom, this facilitates removal) Loosely cover with foil and cook for 60 mins. Remove foil and cook for a further 15 mins. Remove from loaf tin, wrap in moist tea towel and cool on a wire rack.

This phrase reminds me of the mexican film Como agua para chocolate ("Like Water for Chocolate") -- one of the best movies about love/cooking.Masha wrote:Most of these classify as comfort foods because they are warm and friendly and they carry the love of the cook.

I was just thinking, too, that this is the "ingredient" most lacking in most cooking today---too often it is about vanity, not love.

I mention the site here because there is a post which I find amusing. It calls many foods "bizarre" which are truly delicious! This is the post:

Re: Any Good Recipes On File?
Hi Gang - I've been on a search for Retro/Vintage recipes for dishes from the 1930's-1950's as I am planning on attending an event one of our local historic preservation groups is hosting. Been perusing some old cookbooks and will most likely settle on some kind of molded Jello salad, but I don't want to end up being the 7th person at this buffet to bring one. I thought perhaps some of you here might have attended or even hosted a Retro Food party, and might have some suggestions (no "candlestick" salads please)
