Cooking Emergencies

Even though you imagine your menu, thoughtfully prepare your ingredients, and tie your apron strings just so, sometimes you make stuff that tastes like $#!*.

I know it happened with me this weekend! I tried a new recipe for Butter Chicken (but its a misnomer, I think it was more Chicken Masala like) and accidentally added too much cayenne. Whats a girl to do?

I fixed it the day after with a puree of nuts, milk, and some rice. Totally did the trick and made the dish uber rich tasting.

For other fixes, here's a fantastic link :)
