well, yesterday my father managed to make an alfredo sauce with absolutely no flavor. He blames it on the packet he used, but it was grainy and he put cheddar cheese in it. He said we didn't have alfredo cheese and that was why, but then why did he buy alfredo sauce?
There were ham bits in it too, but he didn't let the ham flavors soak into the sauce.
I don't understand it, his cooking has just gotten more and more bland over the years. However, he doesn't seem to be aware. I just shouldn't challenge him on his cooking anymore, he's getting old. It just baffles me that he's unwilling to use any seasoning in a cheese sauce. Oregano really works with a monterey jack/parm sauce.
