I've been away from the forum for the better part of a year, and now that I'm back I wanted to show how great the vegetables turned out in my new mesh skillet from Williams-Sonoma. On sale for $20.

Chopped up Japanese eggplant, onion, green and red peppers, button mushrooms, and CHOPPED GARLIC (genius!). Tossed in olive oil, fresh thyme, and salt and pepper.

Cooked at about 400° with the lid down.

While we're waiting, see the refinished nest side-tables. After 10 years they were really UGLY. Helmsman sprayed.

They're done, about 15-20 minutes. I opened the lid a crack and tossed them with tongs several times.

The spaghetti was tossed with oil and a great red wine vinegar, feta, and the vegetables. It was light and good. Made up for all the ribeye I had the night before.

Good to be back!

    Hi, Judy!! Welcome back - good to see you posting again! Good lookin' meal there. :) I still haven't made it to W-S, but I gotta get me one of those!!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Did you replace the wood on your tables or did you refinish them? Mine aren't even one summer old and they are beginning to look ratty.

    Refinished them. First used really coarse sandpaper, then #2 sandpaper, wiped them with a damp cloth. I used Miniwax Helmsman Spar Urethane. Sanded with #2 between coats--many coats.

    Today I unscrewed the handles (Large and Small) and I'm doing them. They were so black I didn't even notice them the first time around!

    Welcome back. Great post. Enjoyed the pictures and demo of the mesh skillet.

    Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

    IT WAS NO WORK AT ALL! I was expecting a big job, but it only took a few minutes to prepare the wood and seconds for each coat of urethane. I beat myself up for putting it off for a year!

    Hi Judy! Great to hear from you and the meal looks delicious.

    Hope all is well with you. San Diego sounds a bit more fun than Scottsdale right now.

    And I did NOT remove the slats before sanding. It was easy to sand them in place.
