Rotisserie Boneless Leg of Lamb with Lemon, Rosemary and Garlic [Meatwave.com]
Josh at the Meatwave is one of the other sites regularly publishing rotisserie recipes. I get mentioned in this one, inspiring him to use a herb brush on his leg of lamb.

The Feed: How to Dry Fresh Herbs in a Flash (video) [AmericasTestKitchenFeed.com]
Cooks Illustrated finally has a blog! I get my daily dose of the persnickety cooking advice that I love so much. Tips like this one, to dry fresh herbs in the microwave. Next year my thyme and rosemary won't go to waste after the first frost!

I love kale, but I've always cooked it. In this recipe, kale is massaged and marinated in a vinaigrette to soften. I can't wait for my next trip to the farmer's market.

I still need to try that. My wife always looks at me like I'm going to blow up the house when I suggest cooking eggs in the PC. But...she's out of town this weekend... 😉

Hardcooked eggs in the PC! I make those every week. Something like a miracle food, isn't it! Always perfect.

Thanks again for letting me know about them, Marisa. I ordered two cases of them, and they arrived last night.

Those jars are just so perfect with pickled asparagus. You'll never go back to any other size!
