Trying to re-create a "Mediterranean Vegetable" frozen bag mix which is no longer available at the store I guess:
-Zucchini with most skin off. red peppers. red onions, mushrooms, a few kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes cut in half.
-Heavy on the dill. chervil, thyme, oregano, garlic, onion, S&P. Light olive oil. Mix well.
-Two days later in the fridge it's better than before.
-This might last even a week or more.
-Bake 350 deg for 40-90min depending on your taste. It still had spring after an hour.
-Or try broil. Cooking is an art. Do whatever. Olive oil doesn't like high heat.

I bought a couple new stainless Cuisinart 8" and 10" pans for an under $100 investment. No lids included. They should last a decade.
(yeah that blender company)
First time used, but I like it so far.
I don't want to use acidic tomatoes in the cast iron.
The other store option was All-Clad brand.
It was 5-ply vs 3-ply but much heavier and a bit more expensive.
Hurt my wrist trying to shake it.
The rounded handle did not feel right and would be very slippery when covered with oil.
