Don't know what it's called, but it's awesome. Refreshing and clean.

Healthy & Delicious: Marcella Hazan’s Lemon Roasted Chicken with Carrots and Potatoes

Sounds good. But I prefer to slice the lemons and slip them under the skin with the herbs. The flavors seem to permeate the meat better. I also agree about the veggies absorbing the fat. Why not roast them in a separate pan while the chicken cooks? Adding parsnips to the mix sweetens up the combo and adds another dimension of flavor too.

Thanksgiving Foods We Love to Hate

The green bean casserole is awful. I can't even eat it to be polite. I'll take a little and hide it under some other food. The green beans are mushy and the onions are disgusting. I do understand, though, that for many it's an easy-to-prepare comfort food. I just can't go there.

But why anyone eats the so called cranberry "sauce" is a real mystery to me. It's so simple to throw a bag of cranberries in a saucepan with a cup of water and a cup of sugar. Boil until the little darlins pop open. And if you've got 60 seconds to spare, add the zest from an orange. Yum. Guaranteed wonderful flavor and texture.

how to pull together a meal with disjointed courses

I guess the bottom line is that it's all about HIM and what he wants. Make a salad or prepare something green. It will make you feel better, but your boyfriend probably won't care. My husband and 3 boys don't have any concept of foods that go together. They just know what they like.

Fix him what he's requested without comment. What a great gift!

Best apple for pie?

I try to use 4 varieties, but always include Granny Smith. It provides a great tang.

Dinner Tonight: Beet Rösti

Not worth the effort. I used really good organic beets, so that wasn't the problem. I usually like Bittman's recipes, but this one falls short on flavor.
