I believe I said dukkah eggs earlier, but I don't see it now, so I'll take them again!
It looks like the Rosemary Skewered Potatoes might still be available. If not...please let me know.
I'll tackle Grape Leaf Pilaf, please.
Warm congratulations to all EPs and EP candidates. Passing on testing, as I'm heading to Florence to meet up with the daughter. Also meeting up with Emiko! Yikes!
Yay! Buon viaggio and see you soon! :)
I'd like to test the Summertime Salmon Salad, please!
So glad your "glitch" has resolved - can only imagine the scrambling...Now, someone has to try my Taj Mahal Salad, perfect for a picnic lunch over the lovely holiday weekend ;)
I can take the Taj Mahal Salad! LtC, what mango chutney do you prefer?
my own - see my recipe for Mama;s Mango Chutney on the site - making a big batch tomorrow. Wish I could send one a pint via UPS - where do you live?
Thanks for the offer, but I'll just go ahead and make a half batch for myself!
I'm making this too, and I cannot wait! I've had my eye on it since it was posted. I'll be sure to leave a comment. Will probably make some mango chutney too, as the mangoes available now are drop dead gorgeous . . . and taste as good as they look!! ;o)
Am bummed, Lizthechef because I tried to get it while the server was having its issues. This sounds very similar to the chicken salad my mother used to make. It was a staple in our house and delicious. Chutney, grapes.....I think I'll make it anyway!

added 10 months agoSorry for all the confusion, things seem to be running smoothly now and there are a few recipes available for dibs: Rosemary Skewered Baby Red Potatoes with Skordalia, Artichokes with Mint, Lemon, and Pepper, Grape Leaf Pilaf, Summertime Salmon Salad with Black Pepper Water Crackers, and Taj Mahal Salad
comments take 3-5 minutes to appear on screen ...just letting you know.
Hmm. I called dibs on Herbed Chicken Thighs Roasted in a Paper Bag earlier today, and it showed up, but now it's gone. So, I'll call dibs again on that, please. Thanks, everyone. ;o)
I saw it there earlier AJ before the computer trouble started if that helps!
I saw you called it, AJ...

added 10 months agoSorry Kate beat you there.
I'd love to test Em's Buns!
Curried zucchini please!
Sorry - Food52 is stuttering and I missed out on this one. Will try anyway since it matches the rest of our 4th of July menu.
I'm referring to the tomato galette...
lemony lentil salad please.
with this 'hanging up' really confusing everyone, can Food52 please send a mail to everyone about which ep they're supposed to test? thanks
Is anyone else having trouble posting? What is still available?
Southwestern Sweet Potato Salad...
Is there anything left?

I guess I got the Chipas :-) Sorry for the multiple comments!
Mine too!
I think there is a lag on the site - I just loaded a recipe 5 times thinking my computer was not responding. Patience...
Chipas please! Congrats everyone!
Hmm, my computer's wigging out too, and won't load things. Guess KB got it while I waited. I'll try the tomato galette instead.
aargersi I don't think it is the computer, my comments not posting at all or in the wrong place ...
