So if you have ingredients for a meal but no recipes, you can just "Google a recipe." All this really means is that you type the ingredients in Google, plus the word "recipes", and have it spit out recipes.
You could just go to AllRecipes.com or the Food Network site or many other recipes sites, but it's more cool to say "Google it."
The Washington Post wrote about Googling a recipe yesterday. According to the article, the term "Google cooking" was coined in 2002.
It's really simple if you type in "rice mushrooms chili powder" for example. But type in "spaghetti o's fish sage" and you don't get too much. I did find one recipe that involved Spaghetti-O's and a can of tuna fish, but no sage. It did involve 5 Taco Bell "Fire" sauce packets, and in the words of the blogger in question, "the utter smell of that dish leaves me doing endless Hail Mary's as I type."
Still, it's an easy way to get recipes off the Net. And if you never considered it, you will find new ways to make just about anything. People love putting their recipes on the Internet.
