What's Cooking This Weekend...

2008_03_28-Oranges.jpgHere are a few of the things we're thinking about doing this weekend. Will you join in? There's lots happening here in The Kitchn. More below the jump.

• Eat lots of citrus while you still can.

• We're plotting and planning for April Fool's Day next Tuesday.

• The Cure is on - here are the Week 2 assignments for the Kitchn Spring Cure

• Read and cook - we have a fun challenge going and you will quite likely win a book if you participate.

• Go out on the town - trips to the grocery and farmers market are in order.

 
 

A few more things we'd like to do or are doing this weekend...

Reading Laurie Colwin

• Cleaning food out of the fridge and putting it to good use.

• Reading up on Japanese cooking

• Braising a slab of beef brisket from a local farm.

• Sipping cucumber water.

• Making pudding cakes - lemon, most likely.

• Tossing up an orange, fennel and shallot salad with blood oranges and a Cara Cara...

What are you doing this weekend? Any kitchen plans?

Mmm... I'm looking forward to making a roast chicken for dinner on Sunday. Maybe I'll add some kind of citrus glaze to the chicken, or a nice side dish.

I'm going to make the apricot chicken recipe that was posted earlier this week. It looks so good! I'm also going to make a deep-dish pizza from scratch for the first time (the recipe is from America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook).

The fruit bowl is actually a decorative thing from the post-Christmas sale at JoAnn Fabrics. Sometimes they have great baskets and wire bowls like this really cheap...

I've definitely been inspired by your Kitchen Cure posts to clean out the pantry... I'm trying to put some of the items that have been hanging around in there to good use. Random bag of rice flour blueberry jam from Christmas = crepes for brunch tomorrow! (I'm looking forward to the return of the Cupboard challenge feature... you guys really helped me out before we moved last year.)
