Note for Future Cooking

[affreca]

When asking lawnchair to help season the curry bean soup, add the salt yourself. Apparently growing up with my mother's low salt cooking has made me overly sensitive. Or at least more sensitive than Lawnchair. Now the soup tastes like mildly curry sea water to me, while Lawnchair thinks it is tasty and is happy to eat it all. Thankfully I have plenty of other leftovers to keep me fed. More experimentation is in order.

Same here. I usually don't need to additional salt to something if I used any canned ingredients because that salt is enough to season the dish.

Exactly on the cooking with cans. Most of my cooking is with cans, I'm only now working on branching out, especially as dried beans are so much cheaper. Now I'm learning that if I use mostly fresh or dried ingredients, a little salt might help. Key word is still a little, though.
