Italian this week — a pot of July tomato sauce you can only make right now

Make extra and freeze a container. In February you'll be glad.

The tomatoes are at the point when the best thing you can do is slice one

Flank steak, a charred tomatillo salsa, and four directions in four nights. No repeats from the last two weeks.

This week goes east — and a little jar of nuoc cham comes with it

Once you've made it once you'll keep it in the door of the fridge all summer.
