Late-winter research mode: a Jamaican jerk chicken recipe card saved for spring testing (missing browning sauce), a tuna rice bowl sauce worked out, and a hot pot shopping list — proteins, veg, hardware — built for spring/summer, alongside a simple stroganoff and turkey noodle soup that actually got made.
Undated. Late winter.
