Used to happen to me all the time. Now I write down ingredients when
making something unusual (still pretty bad about those things I consider
common items). If it doesn't turn out, throw away the notes or keep them
in a different file (that way you'll know not to try that particular
combination again). Husband and I have also taken to marking up our
cookbooks each time we try a new recipe. Note any changes you made to the
recipe. Note whether you liked it or not - and what it was you want to
change if you are going to try it again but with alterations. We even note
the date we first tried the recipe.
