Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Following recipes is a valuable thing to do the first time through, just to get an idea what the recipe writer intended.
One of the most ridiculous things you see on the Internet is a posted recipe, followed by comments talking about how, the first time they tried the recipe posted, they:
- Substituted chicken for the beef liver
- replaced the butter with margarine
- used catsup instead of tomato paste
...and then they comment that the result didn't really taste good, it's a terrible recipe.

But... there are definitely times when naive substitutions can eff things up. For instance, in the realm of cocktails (something I'm better at making than actual food), I've spent some time optimizing a variation on the classic Aviation which I've taken to calling the Aerodrome. In my recipe, I specify which gin is to be used (because in this context, the balance of botanicals and even somehow the apparent *texture* of Tanqueray seem to make it meld better with the rest of the drink than other gins I tried). Someone might choose to substitute a different gin without ever tasting the drink made exactly as written. That someone would be wrong.
