How about some European or Russian dishes?
Americans introducing new food items: imagine burgers

Re: broccoli… Just chuck 'em in the microwave with the liquids and then proceed on the grill. No foil needed
Safety PSA: I'm pretty sure that is a wire brush Julia uses on the grill before the chicken. They can be dangerous when bristles break off on the grill and then stick in the food. When swallowed they can lodge in tissues, lodging in the esophagus, stomach, or guts.
The macaroni salad in the notes is linked to a different recipe than the one in the video. You can find the right one by searching on its name, Macaroni Salad with Buttermilk and Fresh Herbs.
Can't wait to make alien chicken! 👽
Still trying to get my head around cooking the macaroni for 15 minutes
I love watching these two ladies.
It's September; where we're you in June?
Will the King Arthur gluten free flour work ok here?
Thank you for changing the thumbnail (getting rid of AI thumbnail)—one of the reasons I like your brand is that you use people for everything—like illustrations, etc. Foodways are the most humanistic of arts. Keep AI out of it.
Another OLD EPISODE!! ENOUGH ALREADY!
Juliia said an oopsie during her full chicken cook 27:20 she says the marinade has salt the mop doesn't. That is just an oopsie 🙂
Love it
Thank you!
