  1. From Boston Magazine: The Top Restaurants in Provincetown Right Now The mishpucha get two mentions, which is nice.
  2. While I don't have any recs for Chinese/Indian, our two most recent trips (including one less than a year ago) included standout meals at BRAT Shoreditch, Noble Rot (both in Bloomsbury and Mayfair), and St. John (both the flagship and Bread & Wine). We also had quite a fancy meal at Planque. And fun Sunday roasts at both Hawksmoor and The Harwood Arms.
  3. Similar to the one I have, which is the NP-NWC10. I've used it to cookveggies/fish in addition to the rice, with no ill effects. It really does get a little nit picky with all of these variations on a theme.
  4. My guess is the flat-topped version is a bit easier to store on a shelf or in a pantry, as the power cord can be stored inside the unit. On the top of the line Zo I inherited, the power cord is attached and does not retract into the machine, which makes it a little more annoying to put away. On the Zo I originally purchased, the power cord retracts into the unit. Why all the differences - I have no idea!
  5. It looks as if on the flat-topped version the power cord is removable from the body of the unit.
  6. As mentioned previously, some good melons and stone fruits at TJ's here: Dulcinea KANDY
  7. 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.

    Dinner 2025

    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.
  9. 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!
  10. 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!

    Dinner 2025

    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?
  12. 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/
  13. 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.
  14. Nor would I.
  15. 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.
