Welcome to the new comment system, everyone!

it's lovely! but why does it say "posted anonymously by [name]"? 'cause, like, having the name makes it kinda not anonymous. :)

enough copyediting

Whew! I'm glad I wasn't the only one to ask that question. Here's the link to the explanatory thread

Or not. Let me try that link again:

Huh. How do I post a link? (I guess I should preview a comment before I post it.) Here's what Kelly over in "Home Tech" said:

I think it's how comments from the old system are incorporated into the new comment system. The older comments were posted before we launched the new system last night. We shouldn't be seeing anymore of the "posted anonymously."

just testing the comments . . . the hen is salted and waiting the Batali vinegar treatment . . .

Okay, I'm trying it again:

Click here for link to Home Tech discussion about comments. Whew.

heh, thanks, joan.

I updated the old posts and removed the anonymously line...

Funny that everyone's talking about Zuni Cafe--I made their Roast Chicken and Bread Salad over the weekend. I did the dry salting the morning of, rather than a day or two in advance. It was the best roast chicken I've ever had. And the combination of the flavors in the rest of the salad is incredible--the bread chunks soaked in vinaigrette and the chicken drippings with the arugala, currants, and pine nuts.

It wasn't even as time consuming as I thought it would be. But if I make it again, I'm definitely opening all the windows before I start--I set off the smoke detector about 30 times roasting the chicken.

that's a smokey chicken . . .

I love Zuni! Try the mock porchetta. Or the boiled kale - it's all great.

The guinea hen was delicious (and great for lunch the next day with a big pile of arugula wilted by the hot braising juices.)
I sent the site pictures for the photo bar, but my kitchen is pretty dark . . .
