    Sautéed Radishes with Mint
    These are radishes coddled so all their sweetness comes out. Exposing much of their surface area to brown butter gives them a pretty caramel color and delicate flavor, which the mint subtly accents. - Amanda & Merrill

    Serves 4
    1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 pound radishes, trimmed and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch wedges
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    2 tablespoons mint, roughly chopped

    Heat oil and butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Let butter melt and then cook a bit longer, until it's a deep golden and beginning to take on a nutty smell, about 2 minutes total.
    Add radishes to pan and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, tossing frequently, until radishes are tender and tinged with caramelization in places. Let cool slightly and sprinkle with mint and additional salt to taste.

      Childhood Favorites from the Shine Supper Club

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
