Seven things, under ten minutes, three people fed for two dollars a head.

Okra, corn, a tomato, garlic, oil, cooked rice, a splash of vinegar. Get the skillet properly hot before anything touches it. Slice the okra thin, dry-hit it in the bare pan, and leave it alone three full minutes — that's the whole trick, and it's the reason people think they hate okra. It goes nutty instead of slick. Corn and garlic, one minute. Chopped tomato, two more, until it slumps into sauce. Salt hard. Vinegar off the heat, over rice.

August in a bowl, and nobody at that table needs to know the week was hard.

What have you built with your own hands that nobody asked you to build? I answer every one of these in the comments under the piece.
