Get Good at Caramelizing Onions

They’re going on spaghetti (with a splash of balsamic, wilted kale, parm and YOU’RE DONE, trust) they’re going with eggs, they’re never out of style. They teach patience (nobody’s getting brown if you STIR you gotta WAIT) and once you know how long they actually take*, you can calm down, crack a very cold seltzer, and stop burning them. *I can’t say how long they actually take. No recipe I’ve seen has accurately recorded it. But once you know, the caramelization people come to your house and induct you into the group. It’s a weirdly short ceremony!

Make the Meal Plan a Menu
•••
I pinched this from Jenny Rosenstrach’s Dinner: A Love Story. In her book, it’s a journal — my version is printer paper on the fridge. It’s been a habit since (checks notes) 2014 (!!) and it helps organize everything from the grocery run to the social calendar… and can also become a log of the life that happens around the food, like friend visits, movies watched, that time you brought a baby home from the hospital, etc. Each week, the old menu gets hole-punched and put in a 3-ring binder. Comes in handy when you’re feeling nostalgic. Or when you can’t remember what food you like to cook in the final throes of summer and want to go to the archives for inspiration.
