David and I had some friends over the night for appies. I wasn’t on my A-Game and forgot that we needed a sauce for one of our appetizers. Whenever possible I try to make my own sauces, but this time, I thought I’d pick something up. That didn’t happen, so I ended up making up a child sauce that I’ve made in the past. It was really good.
