[Coda]

In the time since this thread was alive before, I invented a recipe that ISN'T just "throw whatever we have in the pot." It was inspired by a story I follow. In one scene, one of the characters makes dinner, and while there's not a whole lot of detail about it in the story itself the author and I had a side conversation where he was talking about how he wanted it to be something that was, in short, a fusion of as many different ethnic cooking traditions as possible without turning into a jumbled mess. We tossed around some ideas of what might be involved, and then I started looking up recipes related to the various inspirations and put together a recipe on my own.
