Work in Progress: Any recipes labeled “work in progress” are recipes that I would like to go back one day and improve upon. Recipes where I have noticed that one or two little things could be better, but I have not had the opportunity to go back and test my changes out yet. Recipes where I am still experimenting on certain techniques or flavor combos. I choose to post these recipes anyways as a personal log and record of what I have done so far, and notes on how to improve it – what works about a certain recipe, what doesn’t work, and ideas on what can be done to improve it.
