We have some exciting progress on our Wall Herb Garden Project. There are signs of life in Chives, Oregano, Thyme, Sage and particularly Basil! Oh yeah! I'm a little concerned about no signs in Rosemary and Parsley. Might need to re-do those. And Cilantro was planted late, so we have yet to see how that will go. Can't wait to see what the next couple of weeks brings! I got these awesome Ball jars in a set of six from Sur la Table. Check them out!
GEFU Spirelli Spiral Slicer
We do spiralized zucchini a lot (if you haven't noticed). The GEFU Spirelli Spiral Slicer is one of my favorite tools. It's quick and easy and so compact it fits easily into my accessories drawer, a key element when you're in a city kitchen. As usual, it's available at Sur la Table.
Roast Spatchcocked Lemon Chicken
Ryan showed me this picture of his dinner the other night and I asked if I could post it because it looked so cool. I, for one, had not heard of "spatchcocking". You? Apparently, the technique involves flattening the chicken allowing more of the skin to crisp at high temperatures. Ryan followed Martha's recipe — you can find it here.
The Palm House Cubano
The Cubano Sandwich at the Palm House on Union Street in San Francisco is Michael's new favorite brunch food. They keep it classic with delicious pressed pork loin, smoked ham, dill pickle, jack cheese, and mustard. Michael gets extra cheese on it, obvy.
