Perpetrated one of my biggest culinary disasters in quite a while tonight. I tried a new recipe (from the Early Girl website of all places) for a pumpkin soup. I thought it sounded really good. Very seasonal and all. And it looked real pretty in the bowls. But the flavor managed the tricky double-feature of being both bland and way-too-spicy at the same time. Retrospectively, I realize that I wasn't tasting enough while cooking. So I was caught off guard when I got to the finished soup and found that it had not much flavor except "hot." Too much red and white pepper, I think, and not enough salt. Probably I could go back and tweak this or that in the recipe and make the soup better. Or I could just go out and find a better recipe.
