Oooh, me too, me too ( I just ordered another Falk saucier. Seems like they were having a clearance sale).

There are plenty of those...especially if you like cheap stuff - but you get what you pay for. There's Sur La Table, which really doesn't have much to do with pro stuff. JB Prince. As Paul mentioned, Bowery Kitchen Supplies. Bridge, which also had a shop in NYC, is now in Jersey, but obviously has a web presence.

She does kinda look as if she's hanging out on a corner.

I often do that - some thin slivers of garlic, some butter, some herbs. But not this time - I just wanted the pure chicken (and duck fat).

After Bridge closed, this is/was my favorite place to browse.

Banana bread, with dates, raisins, and cranberries.

Leek and potato soup. Water based with no stock. Some celery, onion and garlic helped it along (with a bit of butter).

Blizzard bird. Free-range, air-chilled, duck fat rubbed, and vertical roasted. In addition to the bird, potatoes roasted in the drippings below were great.

It's a pretty classic recipe from David Downey's Cooking the Roman Way. With a little of one or two other "authentic" amatriciana recipes, providing their points of view. Some use a bit on onion, some don't. Some a bit of wine, some not. Some garlic - some say that's heresy. This recipe is certainly pretty close, from the blog The Italian Dish, whereas I think Batali's recipe uses way too much pork. I've made a few trips up to Arthur Avenue retail market recently, and got this guanciale at the butcher in there. I'm pretty sure DiPalos has it, Eataly, Buon Italia too. The nice thing about Buon Italia is they carry Settaro brand pasta, which I think is great for dishes like this.

Dinner for 6... Manhattans and Boulevardiers Spanish salchichon, ham and lomo Marinated Mushrooms Pan Roasted Marcona Almonds Lemon/Garlic Shrimp Baccala Mantecato Bucatini all'Amatriciana (once I get something down, I just keep making it for different guests) Roast shoulder of American lamb (much better than New Zealand lamb, imo) Yukon Golds roasted n duck fat Marcella Beans from Rancho - used a couple of pecorino rinds in the pot Endive Salad with Anchovy Dressing Cheeses From Spain Tarte au Citron Creme Chantilly

I don't bake pies and/or tarts much, but for a dinner last night, this is a lemon tart (excuse me, Tarte au Citron). The crust is a mash-up of a few different recipes (Nick Malgieri, Bourdain, Beranbaum, et. al.). The lemon curd is from David Lebovitz. Surprisingly, delicious...

Yeah, we liked Cockscomb a great deal = Uber-ed it back to our rental apartment. Trou Normand is even closer, without having to go under any stinkin' freeways. As is Kin Khao.

That's not all he does... Finesse

We quite liked The Progress, its sister restaurant (we liked State Bird on another visit too). And Kin Khao, which has gotten recent great reports.

This obviously means that even extremely fresh product can be contaminated with pathogens. So if I'm cooking my chicken in a soup, or in a frying pan, or in an oven, aren't I killing those pathogens?

If I don't like the way something smells, it gets tossed. I wasn't gifted this giant schnoz for no good reason.

I got large, because medium gloves usually are a bit of a struggle to get on and off. for dishwashing, i'm not quite as concerned with the fit as I am when doing cooking stuff.

Chicken soup with pastina, leeks, celery, carrots, and potatoes.

This..."it's bitter, like my mother-in-law," according to the vendor... Fun prep for a salad dressed with anchovy, garlic, olive oil, white-wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Halfway through prep... A big pot of RG Red Nightfall beans... Which while I'm sure are delicious cooked minimally, weren't hurt at all by the addition of a smoked trotter.

Don't you know it!

I got a half-dozen pair of these - I love them!

My guess is Pekin ducks a la Cantonese.

A few visits here confirm what the other visitors posted above. On a recent Friday afternoon lunch, Significant Eater and I were the only ones in the place.

The recognition/awards keep piling up for Mekelburg's - deserved so, based on some personal experience.

I believe it's W O L F E R T. Let's be precise here, please.
