At the same time, I don't consider myself to be "good" at tasting things.
My wife is the same. That’s why she wants me to taste when she cooks. I’m pretty good at it. At least that’s what she says. You are obviously a risk taker when it comes to cooking and tasting at the same time. I do taste while I cook. But as long as you don’t overdo it with spices and salt you should be fine. Unfortunately in your case not working out very well. At the end “Everybody” can add whatever he wants at the end.
Nice! Your wife understands me. 🐱
Haha ya! I'm pretty fine with the possibility of it coming out lousy, and then you can put something in the microwave and try again tomorrow lol. If I was cooking for a crowd or something, maybe I'd taste to guard against the chance of it being horrible, depending what the dish was.
Or I'd at least taste before it was served, to check my work.
