Dated-ness

Well, recently the CC has been making some of the older recipes on this blog (pure coincidence) and he notices that the recipes are kinda dated.

It's not really dated in the traditional sense ("ooooh! that is soooo 1997".)

While the ingredients are exactly what they should be, the description of the execution is not quite what the CC does in reality. He takes extra steps, or even skips some which he realizes are not that important. It's really a deepening of technique not a dating of the blog.

For the record, the two most important things the CC seems to have learnt in the last five years is how to "fry vegetables" (look for an upcoming post), in regards to all kinds of dishes; and the importance of texture in a dish. Controlling texture is very very important even for something that is eaten daily (a little harder to post about.)
