My sister was asking about a salad that I made relatively recently. Huh? Who? Me? 

It started me thinking that I like to move on - for better or worse - and that there is some good stuff that I have left behind. And then (as the Rufus song goes): 

"there's those other things

which for several reasons we won't mention
everything about them is a little bit stranger
a little bit harder
a little bit deadly"

All of these dishes I have picked up from some place or another, however, I rarely follow a recipe per se (I'm too lazy and too cheap).
