I was watching Iron Chef America, the only Food Network show I still check on occasionly, when I suddenly had creative moment. Looking in the vegetable crisper, I pulled out some carrots, set the oven to 400, and started roasting carrots with a bit of brown sugar. Next, I grabbed some balsamic, blueberries from the freezer, left over Shiraz and Honey. Slowly simmered these components and then pureed them; nothing like pectin to make a natural thickener. Something was missing... noticing the leftover coffee from the morning, I poured some into the sauce; that did the trick. Next, I grabbed some summer squash, zucchini, sliced garlic, and onion, sauteed them with a touch of thyme, salt, and pepper. The smells in the kitchen really began to blossom when I set a pan on the burner and got it ripping hot. The steak needed some salt and pepper before dropping it in the pan. The sizzle got my taste buds going, once flipped, the steak and pan went into the oven to finish it at medium rare. The carrots came out but were a bit mushy; never had carrots cook so fast in my life. Not batting an eye, I pureed them with a bit of milk. The finished result was everything I had envisioned.
