I think I understand your quest, to compete and win without even tasting
them, but in this, the lowly beet may beat you. My mother cooks often
without tasting, going by rote over her old recipes. Often her dishes elicit
the response, 'Something's wrong with this' or that tried and true comment
of 'the taste is off.'

your dues, if you're gonna play the blues. M2C's
