Learning Something New

Currently I am trying to learn how to make homemade salad dressing. I am not the greatest cook but I have always envied the fact that my boyfriend makes the best homemade salad dressings. So now I have made it my mission to be able to make dressings just as he does before dinner. I think it is a great thing to know how to do because you are in complete control of the flavors of your dressing rather than going and buying something prepackaged. Also this way you can try something a little different each time you eat. One day we might use a lot of garlic and another we might got for more of a honey mustard type of dressing. Although it seems like such a simple thing it amazes me how he can pick out the different tastes in the dressing and decide in an instant what else needs to be put in to achieve the final taste he is looking for. Although I am not as good as him yet I am getting better which is exciting, it is something that you get better at over time recognizing the different tastes and how they go well together. So far now it is me starting it off and him finishing the mess I have made.
