Have I mentioned how good it is to have a wok-capable stove again?
Pork, broccolini and tiny asparagus in oyster and fish sauces with chili.

Such vibrant colors were retained.
Looks great too!

Iām a late convert to the blanch-and-refresh of green stem veg before stir-frying but it makes a huge difference to the colour. It does mean having to get the wok even hotter to get any wok hei without overcooking though. Worth it!

Why do people always talk about how (supposedly) wonderful warm, just-baked chocolate chip cookies taste, when chocolate chip cookies taste SO much better the next day?

The āsharp knife is a happy knifeā part, I canāt attest to the knifeās emotional state but I know I am happier with a sharp knife! Cut myself for the first time in a long time this summer while making campfire apple crisp with a dull knife. It was gross. Glad it wasnāt worse. We were canoe camping, so getting anywhere for treatment wouldāve been an endeavor.
I baked the apple crisp in a cast iron skillet.

I hope your place is bigger than mine. When I moved in, the landlord explained that the previous tenant had cooked with a wok 
(the stove itself is 20 inches wide)

My wife caught me putting clean dishes from the dishwasher up in a cupboard.
No that is not unusual, I do that almost every morning.
But she thought me placing the fresh clean ones under the existing ones was weird!
Is it?

So that they get equal wear?
I hadnāt thought of that, but now that Iām an empty nester, it might make sense!

We have a set of plates in different colors. I rotate them so we get to use all of them. There are also some things that stack better in a certain order, so they get put away in that order.

Yes!
I noticed the wear ( scratches) on some.
I place the āoldā ones on the counter and place the new ones on top.
Trying to slip the new ones under a stack didnāt work for me.
Be safe.
