...What I've Learned So Far (in the kitchen)

1. Always double the amount of tomatoes. Nothing was ever ruined by having too many tomatoes.

2. Always halve the amount of oregano, parsley too. As benign as they seem, there's nothing worse than that leafy, dry, "too much parsley" flavor.

3. Stop adding ingredients when you feel like there's something missing. Put it away and start again tomorrow.
