Sunday night, so Jay was here for dinner. The chicken was good, but just your regular everyday roasted chicken. Nothing exceptional. I love butterflied roast chicken. We all loved the potato salad, and the escarole was pretty good too (both can be found in Fine Cooking’s Side Dish 2007 special issue).

- Braised Escarole with a Parmesan Crust (Fine Cooking #18, January 1997, p. 43)
- Roasted New Potato Salad with Dijon & Rosemary (Fine Cooking #15, July 1996, p. 40)
Wine: David Bruce 2004 Pinot Noir (Central Coast, California). Good, as are most David Bruce Pinots. I’ve really been drawn to Pinot lately.
SIDE DISH ISSUE!!!!
I was going to pre-order it. Then I was going to go out and buy it. Then I never did either. I neeeeeed to get it. I really want to work on my ability to have good side dishes. Usually I focus on the mail meal and then it’s something ridiculously simple like asparagus or salad.
I think Side Dish is one of the better compilation issues. Although I’m completely weak and would have bought it anyway.
