The Grimoire Day 14

I have 14 minutes to post, so here goes.

Day 14

The basic tenets of kitchen witchcraft as I understand them are:

1) Use what's on hand.  Market is always kind of far away.
2) Three ingredients and a notion of what you want it to taste like usually works for cooking, so to for magic workings.
3) Throw in what smells right, even if it doesn't feel right.
4) Use whoever is on hand.  Make them hold stuff.
5) Let your recipe change to accommodate the realities in the kitchen, cause reality isn't very accommodating. 
6) That fish sauce is never going to get any use.  Why did you buy that?  Did you think you were going to learn how to cook Thai because you bought fish sauce?  Well, you haven't.
7) Seven or more ingredients is fine when you know ahead of time what you'll be doing, go simpler when you don't.
