Make-shift dishes turn out better than planned ones.

Tweet

I have often found that my sudden, resourceful, innovative make-shift dishes taste far superior to well planned ones. Sometimes, i will be required to turn in a very fast meal and I will just cut some assorted veg, add all sorts of spices and cook very fast. Here I will get great praises from not only others but my own tastebuds would proclaim it to be a winner. On the other hand, once or twice when I take a lot of extra care, grind spices separately, saute them all patiently , mix and cook with a lot of care and attention to meticulous detail, I end up praising the erstwhile make-shift dish. Perhaps, there it is much better than one's expectation and so it is much tastier. On the other hand in the case of the latter, expectation creeps in with so much of planning. What do you think? I am sure many housewives would have had similar experiences.
