I inherited a lot of cookware from my one grandmother, which I love. It makes me think of her whenever I use it.
And sometimes, I feel like a competent adult, and then other times, I need to Google “which PYREX is the good one?” Because I know one explodes. For the record, the lowercase one is the one that will explode

Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes
Roasted Tomatoes are a family favorite and are delicious served in a variety of ways. When my garden tomatoes are overwhelming, I turn to roasting them. Sometimes I roast them without the balsamic vinegar, with just olive oil, garlic and occasionally strips of anaheim peppers. The tomatoes are delicious by themselves or served with cream cheese, feta or goat cheese as an appetizer. Try them on a…

Outside of performance art, what's your favourite way to cook brussels sprouts? i really only know the way of roasting in oil with garlic and seasonings and i need to expand my horizons. i'm definitely going to try anon's suggestion of quick frying with soy sauce.
bless you for dignifying my cringe roleplaying with the title “performance art.”
I wouldn’t say I usually do much more than what you describe. for a simple preparation, especially if they’re the main green of the meal and everything else is very starchy, cheesy, &c. (like th*nksgiving), I’ll just halve them, toss them in salt, black pepper, ras el hanout or seb3a baharat, and olive oil, place cut-side-down on a baking sheet, and bake at 450 F for about 30 minutes until the sprouts are tender and outer leaves are crisp;
meanwhile prepare a balsamic reduction by cooking down some balsamic vinegar with a little bit of sugar (and maybe some orange zest or sumac) in a skillet. drizzle the reduction over the sprouts and roast for another 3-5 minutes—the sugar should pool and blacken slightly, making the bottoms extra crispy. taste to adjust salt and serve with the rest of the balsamic and a squeeze of lemon, to taste.
if I don’t mind making them a bit richer, I’ll roast them the same as above alongside a head or half head of garlic (look up how to roast a head of garlic if you’re not sure how), with the addition of mirchi (powdered red chili peppers) or berbere;
when done, smash the roasted garlic into a paste and whisk in a lot of tahina, a bit of salt, the juice of a lemon, and maybe a spoonful of yoghurt if you like. this sauce is a bit like tarator.
top roasted brussels sprouts with a sprinkle of a finishing spice such as mitmita or garam masala (you don’t want it to be enough dry spice to make you sneeze or cough, but the idea here is that you’re reintroducing volatile aromatics that aren’t in the other spice blends anymore because they got destroyed by the heat of roasting). serve with tahina sauce and sriracha.
the general principle is that you can roast or fry brussels sprouts (and other vegetables) with basically any spice blend and pair them with basically any sauce. I usually try to make sure that there’s a balance of 1. salt, 2. fat (here, olive oil), 3. acid (lemon juice, balsamic), 4. sweetness (sugar, or the sugars brought out by caramelising onions or roasting garlic), and 5. spice (chili pepper &c.). brussels sprouts are very earthy and slightly bitter on their own so it’s the tart and sweet ends especially that you want to play up.
