0:21Hey, it's Marielle.

0:23When Margaret Lee was a kid, she watched her mom doing something that was a little unusual.

0:28She used to like to save takeout sauces from every restaurant.

0:36So she would have ketchup from one restaurant, barbecue sauce from another restaurant, maybe some kind of soy sauce or duck sauce from a Chinese restaurant.

0:44After she collected a bunch of them, she would mix them all together.

0:47And then she would use it to make a sauce for barbecued chicken, almost always barbecued chicken.

0:53And honestly, it was usually really good.

0:59Years later, when Margaret and her sister wrote a cookbook called Perfectly Good Food, they dedicated it to their mom and the way she would rescue takeout sauces.
