    I finally bought a small jar of capers to use when I mix up a tartar
    sauce to go with seafood... given how plain I cook, not much use for
    them otherwise... :)

    They're a piquant addition to a lot of different things. I have over
    a thousand recipes that call for them. I think I'll drop a few here.
    Perhaps you'll change your mind! This first one is for beef steak
    rollups:

    The point being that I'm not making things that require recipes, at
    least not very often.... :) I might, though, experiment with adding
    them to some things that I regularly throw together, if I think about
    it... ;)

    They don't seem to be all that popular here so I'm dropping that
    theme and switching over to tacos and dishes with savory.

    :) Now that I have a jar of the capers in the fridge, there's always
    the chance that I'd experiment with them... but I'm not all that likely
    to be using a recipe while doing it...

    ... Gastrodamus predicts: Everyone will continue to hate savory
    desserts.

    Oh, I don't know... There are times when savory, rather than sweet, or
    perhaps with just a hint of sweet is quite satisfying... :) At Fu's,
    sometimes I just finish off with some of his tamago... which he tells me
    is also a proper Japanese dessert... :)
