As mentioned previously, some good melons and stone fruits at TJ's here: Dulcinea KANDY

Last night, with dinner: Sweet spot, at just around $15 a bottle. Rosé of cabernet franc. Domaine Stéphane Guion. The Borgueils he bottles are also a favorite here.

Spain-inspired, braised onions and potatoes, with pimentón and saffron. As a side dish for... Crispy-skinned roasted chicken thigh (thank whoever keeps my old CSO working!), potato thing from the 1st picture, sautéed escarole. Plum and nectarine crisp..or cobbler...crispler? cobblisp? No complaints yet.

You can dry brine it for 72 hours, if need be. No. Cook it via a traditional method (roast, pan sauté, braise, etc.); Judy Rogers wasn't sous-viding!

See, I was always led to believe (that's what cooking school will do) that a batterie de cuisine is what's used to prepare and serve food. In which case, I have a lot of stuff. But now that I look at the title of this thread, I see it explicitly calls out "Storage." In which case, a ton of "deli containers" in varying sizes. Some oxo glass storage for fridge, and some rubbermaid. I do so little freezing of cooked product other than stock and tomato sauces, and have so little freezer space, that it's not a big item in my batterie!

When we're lucky enough to be in France, Significant Eater loves starting her meal off with a Ricard. Is your next stop Girona, or further south? Are you all on the medieval tour?

Not only that, the shop I mostly order from delivers for free! My much more local shop (i.e. the one in our commercial strip) has some nice wines as well...https://www.vinvero.com/

Sadly, that can't happen here. According to AI: No, Trader Joe's cannot sell wine in most of its New York locations. Due to New York state law, grocery stores in New York are generally limited to selling beer. Trader Joe's, like other chains, is restricted to only one location in the state where they can sell wine or liquor. This single location, which was previously the Union Square wine shop, is now closed. The Trader Joe's I shop at has a fairly extensive beer selection, and a few ciders as well.

Nor would I.

Bandol La Bastide Blanche rosé. From the importer: From my retailer: Chambers Street was running a 15% off special on all rosés a week or two ago, which put this wine right at the sweet spot - about $20 a bottle.

Pasta al pesto, with green beans and yellow wax beans. Sauté of corn, sweet onion and tomato alongside.

We were in a few different clubs/mailers - but down to a single one at this point. Although when tariffs kick in, maybe we should be buying more wine from California (with the only problem being I tend to enjoy old-world wines more).

Some high-end grape juice there, @Paul Bacino !

Just to be slightly pedantic, the wine pictured is from Abruzzo, made from the Montepulciano grape. In Montepulciano, you were probably drinking wines made with a high proportion of the Sangiovese grape.

I’m wondering why they decided to put “everything” on top of the unit, as opposed to how the controls/electronics/whatever were on the. Side, in the 300? Does it make sense that to be directly above the heat source?
