ever gone to cook something for dinner, and found you only have part of the stuff you need. i did this the other night, i had mince and lasagne sheets. but when i went to cook it, found i had no sauce. so i used the cans of crushed tomatoes i had, and added some frozen veggies. then found i had not much cheese left, if it wasn't one thing it was another. end result not as good as normal.
any one else make these mistakes as well.

Hi weasel! I experienced that one time too and its really irritating to know you have prepared almost everything but can't find other ingredients. I was about to cook "adobo". Its a mixture of meat, soy sauce and vinegar here in the Philippines. Anyway, i already minced garlic and sliced tomatoes. I put it in a pan and saute it. I added the chicken meat last. When i was about to add the vinegar and soysauce after it simmered, there was none! I ended up frying the chicken instead.
Happy cooking !

tHAT REALLY IRRITATES ME WHEN I DO THAT. I try to keep things well stocked but it can still happen. It's hard to improvise sometimes.

Hi Weasel,
It may not be the same as what you expect it to be in terms of taste but at least you can consider it as a new dish out of the original one.
I love to cook and it usually happened to me having not enough supply for an ingredient especially nearing the weekend. But i still make it a point that the food will still taste good with some ingredient replacements--whatever is available and will in a way match with the other ingredients that i have for a particular dish. Bingo it's good and for me it's another personalized dish for my family LOL. At least we're creative enough to work within what's available.
