Notes

Grandma’s Note
“Whenever the crisper was looking a little too full, I’d make a big tray of these vegetables and let the oven work its magic. Don’t fuss over them too much; a good roast needs time and a hot oven, not constant checking. I always saved a spoonful for tomorrow’s lunch to stir through leftover rice – some dishes taste even better the next day, just like good stories.”
