At least if I ever change anything, I get to use the verb Stewed. Which is quite apposite, really. Though the cook likes to think he'll combine existing staples with the odd new touch to produce a new dish that is slowly infused with the collective goodness, it really ends up as a wet, bland and flavourless hodgepodge. Good with alchohol, though.

Stew.

P.S. I lived with a lass who liked to put such things as oven chips and pizzas in the oven when I was oven-cooking a stew, and change (and leave, when she was finished) the settings without warning me. When she wasn't washing her car with a sponge scourer. She had red hair, actually. Bet she were a Vingan.
