Ingredient driven

I have struggled to describe my style of cooking but now I have figured out that I am ingredient driven. Just meaning I have no clue what I am doing or going to make until it appears on a plate or bowl. My little direction is governed by what's hanging around and needs using most.
Today, we had a avocado that was perfectly ripe, I visited the local wholefoods, purchased some potatoes, brussel sprouts, green onion and pork, with a few breakfast items it was amazing to escape for ten bucks. On the rainy trudge kitchen ward, the meal concept came after stopping to admire street art. So simple but cool painted shadows of a fire hydrant, my taco concept was far less brilliant. Tortillas were another thing sitting in the fridge, so my strange tacos ended up as apple chipotle miso briased pork with tri color potato brussel hash topped with avo. Kindda wierd but good and cheap.
