“How come you taste so good?” Mick Jagger asked this question of brown sugar more almost fifty years ago, and we think we've come up with some answers here. For instance, brown sugar tastes phenomenal when mixed with pungent mustard, then slathered on delicate salmon. That brown sugar-glazed fish tastes so good when paired with ranch-y mashed potatoes, a rollicking and rocking good time packed into one dinner. Tip: Line 'em up! The best way to remove the ends of green beans is to line them up evenly, then remove them with one cut.
