Do you make up recipes: either from scratch or using a proven recipe and improving on it? What was your best one? I just made one using a basic, proven oatmeal cookie recipe; I added pecans and craisins (dried cranberries) and, instead of dropping individual cookies on the cookie sheet, I spread the dough out on the sheet and baked it at 376^ for 20 minutes - voila - pecan-craisin oatmeal bars.

2 egg whites
1/2 tsp cream of tardar
6 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp sugar
1 cup coconut

Step 1: Separate eggwhites. Add to a medium sized mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed for one minute.

Step 2: Add cream of tardar and sugar gradually. Then beat untill thick and foamy, aproxximitly one to two minutes. Fold in coconut. Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. bake for twelve to fifteen minutes on 350.

I make stuff up as I go along depending on what I have in the house at the time. Sometimes its really good. Sometimes its really bad.

I put pasta shapes, noodles and rice in my soup. It's pretty good.

I just diced up some wassabe flavored cashews and cooked em in scrambled eggs with a splash Worcestershire sauce. This was pretty good.

50ml of gin
150ml of tonic water
2 slices of lime
4 ice cubes

Serve in a glass.
