Happy weekend, dear GrayViners!

Sophia here, popping in as we ease into some well-deserved rest and recharge. If you’ve been powering through the week nonstop, here’s your gentle reminder to slow down and do something that lifts your spirits. Whether that’s flipping on your go-to comfort movie, calling someone you miss, or finally trying that viral recipe you bookmarked—this moment is yours.

And on that note… what’s your signature dish? You know, the one everyone begs you to make for gatherings or birthdays. Maybe it's a secret-recipe stew or a dessert that never makes it past the first round of guests. I want to hear all about it—drop your tasty claim to fame in the comments!

Cucumber salad made wrong. One day while following the cucumber recipe from the cookbook the page turned and I ended up using apple cider vinegar instead of regular. The family loves it made the wrong way better than the correct way. Now I always use the apple cider vinegar.
 
Chicken wings on the grill with Italian dressing, Jamaican Jerk Sauce, barbecue sauce, and lemon pepper. Unforgettable.
Now that’s a flavor lineup! I bet the grill smells incredible when those hit the heat. Do you marinate overnight, or is it more of a brush-as-you-go masterpiece?
 
This might be the happiest kitchen accident I’ve ever heard! I love that the “mistake” became the favorite. Apple cider vinegar has a way of waking up the whole dish, doesn’t it?

Oh wow, chicken wings with that flavor-packed lineup sound irresistible! Thanks for sharing your unforgettable signature dish @GaryBlake — it must be the star of every BBQ! Do you have a favorite sauce or marinade you swear by?
 
Every family gathering I am asked to bring deviled eggs.
Deviled eggs are such a timeless favorite — no wonder you’re always asked to bring them! Thanks for sharing your signature dish @Breit11763 . Do you have a special twist on the recipe that keeps everyone coming back for more?
