Mercy! May issue?

[Denise]

I just can't stand it anymore! Its like water torture! My May issue hasn't come yet and its nowhere to be seen in stores around here. Can anyone tell me what's in it........I'd be eternally grateful!

[kima]

Did someonesay the May issue is out? I haven't seen a post about that....:confused:

[crazyquilter]

Geez, I just got my April issue!

[aggie94]

I would LOVE if someone would post when they see a May CL sighting on the newsstand. My subscription ran out (early and without a renewal notice) so I have to buy May's issue and forego the excitement of actually going to my mailbox and seeing it inside. :(

[kima]

Hi Eva- Actually I find it pretty exciting to go into the grocery store and have it sitting there! I have to be careful not to pounce on it so people won't think I am weird!!! I place it very carefully on the belt- away from anything that could crease it and I cringe if the teller puts in roughly in my bag! See it is very exciting buying it at the store!:D

[susangibbs]

No May CL but I got my May Cooks Illustrated today!:)

[Molli526]

I am glad I'm not the only one anxiously awaiting :)

[Peggy]

When I opened this thread, I was hoping that someone was saying that they had received their May issue already. I can't wait and am anxious to hear what is in it!

[ewatkins]

[Varaile]

I am SO jealous!

Please, please give us a preview!

[Denise]

Yea! Got mine in CO today too! The cover is a glazed pork loin with 3 fruit salsa - looks scrumptious.

Articles are:One Great Grilled Dinner with Pork Loin or Tuna with above glaze (Maple and Bourbon) includes veggie sides and Grasshopper Pie for dessert.

Art of Low Fat Baking including Blackberry Jam Cake, Cinnamon Cookiesand Double Caramel Turtle Cake among others.

Back on the Menu with Flank Steak with Cilantro Almond PestoFrittata with Smoked Cheese and Canadian Bacan and a few shrimp recipes.

Cuban Cooking Everything here looks like heaven! Marinated chicken and several mixed drinks.

All About Cheese Monteray Pizza and Stuffed Onions!

Reader Recipes These look pretty good with some risotto recipes and enchiladas.

Flatbreads and Spreads This is the veggie section. Its not as much my style but there's pitas and naan with things like chutneys and salsas.

There's also a Mother's Brunch and an article on recipes made with foods high in antioxidants. Back to the Best is Malaysian Chicken Pizza and it looks fantastic! This looks like a great magazine and I'm going to start cooking right now!
If anyone wants recipes let me know and I'll try to oblige.

[kima]

Oooh!! It sounds terrific!!! Flatbreads and spreads are MY kind of thing!! We get new mags on the stands here on Wednesday- I can hardly wait!

[aggie94]

DOUBLE CARAMEL TURTLE CAKE??????

Holy cow that sounds good! I checked two bookstores today and didn't see the May issue at either. :(

[yorkshirepud]

Denise ... mmm ... cuban cooking? .. takes me back to my vacation last year there ... fantastic food!! ... what chicken recipes do they have using Cuban techniques?

[Denise]

Yorkshirepud - There is a Pollo Rancho Luna which is chicken breasts marinated in mojo with an onion relish. It looks very quick and easy and I will definately be making it. There is also a Arroz con Pollo that has Bijol seasoning, sofrito, and saffron. There's a Picadillo, Carne con Papas, Filete de Cerdo con Adobo (marinted in orange and lemon juice).......It all looks fantastic! I haven't made anything from the ethnic section in quite awhile, but I plan on making most of these.

Aggie94 - Holy Cow is right! Wait until you see the picture of this one! It's a pretty long recipe, but if you're dying for it I would be willing to type it out. I plan on making it tomorrow or next week.

[aggie94]

Oh, Denise - that's sweet of you to offer! Don't worry about it, though. I probably wouldn't get around to making it anytime real soon, and I suspect that I should be able to find the May issue on the newsstands in the next few days. But thank you!!

[Norma]

Double Caramel Turtle Cake will be the first one for me!
:D

[Tiger]

Got my May issue today. At first it seemed early but it isn't. It just seemed that way because my April was so late.
I'm glad though. There really wasn't much I wanted to make from April. Although what I did make was good.

[Molli526]

Got mine today too! I know what I am curling up with tonight ;)

[linsleyd]

I haven't even thought about May yet, even though I got my Bon Appetit last week.

Tiger, I am glad to see you are in PA because that means I'm next! HE HE HE:D :D

YAY! Igot it last night! It looks really good, a lot better than April's! I can't wait to start cooking !:D

[LaraW]

I got my May issue on Saturday. I'm in Colorado. I wonder how they do their distribution.

Have not seen a new Cooks Illustrated yet, though.

Lara

[Chefzhat]

May sightings in Michigan - I got mine yesterday. All you cheese heads are going to love the cheese section!

Debie

[JenZen]

may issue arrived in wisconsin today. i am curling up with it tonight. i expecially need a treat today after being sick all day yesterday. :(

[Susan]

Yippee! I got mine today! :D I have only allowed myself a small read through the letters and "First Light" part trying to savor it....ahh....

[Grace]

I'm SOOO jealous you guys!!!!! Oh please, oh please Mr. (actually, she's a MS.! :D ) Mailman bring mine tomorrow!!!!!! I can't wait, I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! :D :D :D

Good, I feel better! I saw your post, Grace, & I was afraid you'd already gotten it. Not yet here either!

[AndreaM]

Grace and Ralph -

I got mine in Downers Grove today, so yours can't be too far away. I wonder why they show up on different days even in the same area. Pretty strange. Hopefully you'll get it tomorrow!

[Carolina68]

Yeah, it's showing up in the south, maybe mine will be here soon. I haven't received my Bon Appetit magazine either. Oh well, there are several more things in the April CL that I haven't gotten around to trying yet, so I have plenty to keep me busy until mine arrives.

[Peggy C.]

I haven't received mine yet, but isn't this the month that is supposed to have an article on Alton Brown? Or is it next month?

[lhall]

And here I sit, with no May issue, wondering if it's even going to come.

I just renewed my subscription and I'm not sure if I made the deadline for getting the May issue or not.

*pout*

Leigh

[ebobbitt]

My mailbox was full of magazines yesterday but still no CL! :mad:

[linsleyd]

This is the issue with the article on Alton Brown
Fairly short but interesting nonetheless!

[Jewel]

Any sightings in the Pacific Northwest yet? :( I want that Double Caramel Turtle Cake recipe!!!!

[BlueMoose]

Got mine today. It looks like a pretty informative issue (at least for me). Lots of information on cheeses and lowfat baking. Monterey Pizza, Baked Onions with Feta, Creamy Spinach and Mushroom Enchiladas, Rhubarb Custard Bars, Spinach and Tomato Strata, Tofu Breakfast Burritos, Apple-Oat Muffins....those are some of the recipes that stuck out at me as sounding good. I'm going to have to take a better look later.

[BlueMoose]

BTW....I didn't read this thread very closely, so forgive me if someone already brought it up, but LaraW, is that your quote this month?

[LaraW]

Yes, that's me....I was very surprised to see that! I am hoping my sister or MIL doesn't see that because then they might come to the BB and read all the stuff I have said about them :eek:

[Norma]

Northwest here, Jewel. Got mine yesterday.

[kimmurphy94]

The mailman just letft and I still don't have my issue!

I can't handle the suspense! I think everyone should not talk about it until we all get it! Its only fair!:D

[CAROL ANN]

I just got my issue in SouthCentral Pa.

[Ralph]

Just came in the mail today! I'm off tomorrow, so any Chicagoans looking to peruse the issue are welcome to come by!;)

And by the way, read the From the Editor column. Many of us participated in the survey a few months ago regard CL covers. This was one of the issues!

[melis104]

I got mine on monday. I haven't really gone through it much beacause I have school work but I can't wait to read the article about cheese!

[Grace]

I'll be right over!!!! :D :D Hope you've got something good for dinner tonight....:p ;)

[kima]

I thought you might take him up on that offer Grace!! Yes Ralph was is for dinner???:D

[Jogren]

And I'm embarassed to say that I haven't even ripped off the paper cover yet. I was so busy that I just stuck the mail on the table and didn't even turn one page :(

DH will be gone on business this weekend and I plan to have some "me" time and sit with a stack of magazines and read.

[Ralph]

My post said tomorrow, not tonight! We'll be at Meson Sabika (work dinner) & they'll be making a variety of tasty dishes for us tonight. As for tomorrow, it's Spicy Macaroni and Cheese.

[Grace]

I know you said tomorrow.....:D :p I just can't wait until tomorrow!!! :D :D :D :D

Besides, mine will probably come tomorrow, so I won't need yours anymore....;)

Enjoy your dinner at Meson Sabika!!! I still want to try that place! And have a nice Sangria for me too - even though I'm not a drinker, I could really use a little Sangria right now!

[Lingail]

I just received mine today. My April issue was late in arriving too.

[Dewey]

OK, I'm reading this and just realized that I haven't checked the mail yet today. I usually get mine around the 23rd, so I'm going to hop in the truck and go check (mailbox is 1/2 mile away -- ahh, life in the country!)

Just got back from the mailbox -- no CL!:mad:

[karenv]

My mouth is watering reading this. I too have to renew my subscription. Somehow the envelope got overlooked.

Karen

[JackieO]

No CL in my mail box today in suburban Milwaukee, but those south of me in Chi-town have theirs and wallycat in IOLA has hers!

Ooops, it's JenZen in Iola, wallycat is elsewhere in Wisconsin:o

[Varaile]

Egads! This is worse than waiting to open presents during the holidays! :eek: :mad: :eek:

I recieved my Martha Stewart today and normally CL arrives at the same time.

So I'm stilllll waaaiittting! :mad: ;) :D :rolleyes:

Hi Ralph,

The Spicy Macaroni and Cheese caught my eye. Is it a CL recipe? If so, can you direct me to it?

Many thanks,
- E.

P.S. May CL arrived here today!

Yeah, I was wondering if I could find time to make that for Sunday-- but maybe there are people for whom there can be too much chocolate.

I just got mine in Houston today, and I usually see it in Kroger by the time I get it. Maybe they are actually waiting until the month changes to put out the new issue like they used to.

[JennieL]

Yipee!! May issue arrived in So. Cal! Looks terrific. Can't wait to make the Grasshopper Pie this weekend.

[Lee]

The May issue has arrived in Arizona. Looks good!

Oh Goody!! CL spotted in a California mailbox. Now if it would just arrive up north!

All of you that have the May issue: Please start cooking and posting reviews. That way I'll know where to start when my issue finally arrives! :o

Peggy

[burleydee]

As Ralph noted, May issue arrived yesterday west of Chicago, and all I can say is, oooooooooooooooooooooh.

I marked 17 recipes on my first run-through. Haven't done that since Jan. 2001!

No, it's not a CL recipe. I found it through www.recipelink.com, formerly kitchenlink.com. It's actually on Good Morning America's web-site & is a recipe of Sara Moulton's. Here's the link: http://abcnews.go.com/onair/GoodMorningAmerica/recipes/recipe981023_maccheese.html

WOOHOO! MY 1000TH POST!!

[Jasmine-Rose]

Thanks Ralph - I'll check it out. And I'm happy to be part of your "1000th Post" celebration. Congratulations!

[Jewel]

Got mine yesterday in Seattle! :D I've barely gotten 10 pages into it, but so far it looks good! That Double Caramel Turtle Cake looks like a drooler!

Has anyone ever tried the 'Back to the Best' recipe the Malaysian Chicken Pizza ? That looks so good! :D

[Grace]

<marching band playing>

Da-- da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da---da---da--

HURRAY FOR RALPH!!!!! 1000 POSTS!!!!!! He's catching up!!!! :D :D

Congratulations, Ralph!!

[funnybone]

Congratulations to Ralph!
