I really hadn't cooked much when I got married. My husband at that time was a vegetarian, so I converted. I had a hard time coming up with meals because I was raised on eating meat, and loved sweet and sour chicken. I dipped whole mushrooms in batter and fried them, then made up a sweet and sour sauce with the peppers and pineapple. He thought that was hilarious but enjoyed it.
The latest experiment is an attempt at low carb chili, currently in the crock pot. Very few beans, and some butternut squash to help bulk it out ( my roommate overseas would put butternut squash in her spaghetti sauce so I think it might do well here too, and I needed to use the squash). Will let you know how it turns out.

I suddenly remembered something.
I was cooking with a friend. We started off with some salmon fillets and potatoes.
We boiled the potatoes and made mash, adding salt, pepper and herbs
We then put the mash and the fish in tin foil in the oven, and added white wine to it.
Left it in until the fish was done. - It tasted great!
I've also "boiled" cod in white wine (in a tray in the oven) along with vegetables. That was nice as well.

Not really strangest, but here: Leche flan is a very common dessert here, often with sev. eggyolks and milk mixed and steamed. i learned some cake recipes can now be done in the rice cooker, and thought to try the flan as well. As i dont like having so many egg whites left unused until there is another need for them, i put in more whites w/ the mixture as some recipes do allow whites. Trouble is cooking on the rice cooker isnt slow fire, and as i also often do, lessening the sugar changes the texture/consistency of the baked/steamed food. So the flan is cooked, but not with the velvety smoothness of the real thing... someone takes a taste, but mostly i had to finish it coz it just looks and is different.
I use spaghetti sauce in chili. Many think this is weird and some are horrified at the thought... but they always eat up all my chili when I bring it to a church dinner.
Ever have pizza eggs? Good way to use leftover pizza. Scrape the toppings and cheese off a slice of pizza into a sauce pan, add eggs and cook scrambled. Eat the crust with butter while the eggs are cooking. It comes out exactly like cheese and eggs, only a lot better.

RECIPE: An experiment that turned out so good you want to remember how you did it so you can do it again.
BAD RECIPE: An experiment somebody else thought was good enough to write down, but you didn't care that much for it.
IDIOT WHO HAS NO TASTE: The person who took your good recipe and changed it into a bad recipe, because he thinks it makes it a good recipe. Can be highly subjective, as the other person probably also thinks you are an Idiot Who Has No Taste.
