What’s become my standard Friday night dinner: steak tips with Ballymaloe steak sauce, a gigantic half a baked tater with TPSTOB and sour cream, and asparagus.

Almost 61yo, and it still happens. To me, it’s the whole point of cooking…you screw up, you adapt and figure it out.

Oh, Sweetie, I may be double your age, and I find myself pulling off the weekly flop. There’s always Chalula or Guacamole Salsa.

We have 2 bushes @Ttrockwood and they produce from about mid July and usually last through September. Enough for us to enjoy and also share with the grownup kids. They’re wonderful to have.
I’m wanting to make shakshouka,

I have to say cooking on the west coast after seeing and being inspired by what so many have already made seems a distinct advantage!

but it broke on me. I think I added the melted butter too quickly 
. Luckily was able to fix it using this method described by Chef John:
Result with some broccolini:
