Substitutions

I have a story about my friend G, G whose wife is P with son K and second son K. When G cooks, he is fearless when it comes to substituting ingredients. Another friend, J with husband A, loves to recount the story of how G triend to make salsa one day. He gathered what ingredients he had: tomatoes, onions, etc. But, he was missing a few ingredients. As he put the salsa together he began to use what he had around the house for what was missing. No parsley, he used oregano. No lime, lemon-garlic power was an adequate stand in. As J and A tasted the concoction, they remarked that G had made cold marinara sauce rather than salsa
