My dinner plans fell through, and I was forced to scrounge for whatever I could find in the forgotten recesses of my fridge. Happily, I always keep an emergency steak in the freezer for just such an exigency. I cooked it with a very simple tangy garlic rub. For the side dish, I improvised a generous helping of wild yellow carrots in a spicy lavender-peach glaze. Oh, and a couple of four slices of crispy-fried bacon that I was going to use crumbled into the carrots for texture, but the carrots took a while to cook and I was weak.

The carrots were already very sweet, and so the glaze was almost gilding the lily -- but I have so much of the lavender-peach syrup leftover from the other week that it didn't make sense not to use it.
