May issue arrived in Pittsburgh!!!

[Binny]

Am I the first to get the May issue? Cover has Chocolate Mousse made with tofu. Contains articles/recipes for Caribbean cooking, strawberry pie and orange tea cake. MMMMM good! We'll be getting lots of reviews on these recipes.

[MrsReber]

Shhhhh!! It's too early for this http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/wink.gif!

[aggie94]

You lucky dog! Thanks for the preview -- I'll be checking out those Caribbean recipes first!

[chefbec]

Hey, I just recently got my April issue! Don't get me started!! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/frown.gif

[mb]

how can this be?!?!?! I'm still waiting for April!!! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/mad.gif

[Peggy]

In all honesty, I'm not ready for the May issue so it can take it's time getting here. I'm still working my way through the April and March issues... Too many good recipes to try! Although the Chocolate Mousse with tofu sounds very interesting...

Peggy

[makedah]

Are you freakin' kidding me????????? Well at least I'm not anticipating it yet.

Caribbean cooking? One of my desired "countries" came through! Yee-haw!!

[junietoo]

I, too, am still working through the April recipes. But, now I'm going to be waiting for the mail everyday until I get the May issue.

I want to be first someday <whine, whine> http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/tongue.gif

darned double posts-sorry

This is funny as I got my May Bon Appetit yesterday (which I usually get on a consistent basis)and wondered when someone would mention the May CL. It is always interesting to see how soon or late we all get ours.

I have hardly been through April either - between that and buying more cookbooks this month, I'm not in that big of a hurry. Carribean, huh? mmmmm!

[Vanessa]

Caribbean recipes? Oh good! I enjoyed reading GUsto so I will look fwd to May's CL although I am sure it will be a while as i got April's last week.

[Julia1Pin]

ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've hardly had time to try out April's recipes!! I don't usually get home until 8:30pm. How am I supposed to cook everything I want to?

OK - breath................

[SusanL]

OK, I am keeping track, Pittsburgh is first. If you could, please post your city/state so that we can see where they are being sent.

There has got to be some pattern to their MAIL madness http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/eek.gif

I hope to compare this to the April thread!
Thanks!

Maybe, I'll be next - wish,wish!

[schuh]

Got it today in Rochester, NY. I was surprised as I just seemed to have gotten April. I'm too busy getting ready for Easter to really read it, but this caught my eye for my Easter ham leftovers: a ham and asparagus casserole that has egg noodles and (gulp) whole milk in the sauce. A whole feature on asparagus, in fact! Yum!
I feel privileged! I'm never one of the early ones!

[funnybone]

Another arrival in Lancaster, PA. I have yet to make anything from April, but still am happy to have received it earlier this month. There is hope out there for others who received their April late.

[mb]

i FINALLY received April yesterday!!! Now watch, I'll probably get May today! (highly unlikely, but you never know!) http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

[philamark]

No May issue yet here in Philly...still haven't finished April's! Wendy, I got my May Bon Apetit last week...isn't it a great issue? All on Paris!!!!! Sounds like this and the new CL issue will make May a fun month! Does anyone else get Bon Apetit? I love that magazine too!

[Wendy w]

Philamark, I haven't had the time to sit down with it yet. I will have to make some time for it as I have been busy-spring cleaning, etc.

Thanks for reminding me. That is why I'm not in a big hurry for the May issue of CL as usual.

[SueK]

I got mine in PA today, too. (But I probably won't get a chance to even look through it until next week!) The cover's very pretty, though!

[SusanMac]

This has got to be the first CL cover featuring tofu. Is that right? Not a tofu lover, but it's interesting to see CL expanding their repertoir (sp?)

[Curleytop]

Looks like the East coast gets it first.
We in sunny CA get it last or so it seems

[Denise]

Colorado came yesterday!

[crazycook]

My CL and Bon Appetit are always late. I don't expect to get them until May 10-19! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/frown.gif

[makedah]

I saw May in the grocery store today. The cover is in lovely rich shades of purple. is it just me or are the covers more "artistic" and less "table setting" than usual recently? I didn't peek inside. I'm still willing to hold out for my copy -- FOR NOW!

[schuh]

Philamark, I get Bon Appetit and was really disappointed in the issue on Paris! It's funny how everyone has a different reactions to things. I saw about two recipes that I'd use. And since a trip to Paris isn't in the offing, I just don't need that much info on the city. An article, yes. A whole issue, NO! I'll stick with Cooking Light this month...

[Lynn B]

My DD and I both subscribe, so we get 2 issues w/ the same last name and at the same address each month. Well, she got HERS about a week ago, and I still haven't gotten mine! GO FIGURE!!!! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif
BTW, we are in PA, too!

[Susann]

May issue arrived yesterday in Atlanta. Emily, Iqueen-did you get yours?

[emilycat]

Ooh, time to check the mail! I'll let you know this evening, Susann.

I must say, though, I'm not sure I'm ready for another issue! Ditto to Julia's post -- Breathe....... http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

[philamark]

Schuh; I haven't read too much of the Paris issue of Bon Apetit, but I've enjoyed what I read. I have always been interested in the French culture and cuisine and was in Paris many years ago so I was glad that Bon Apetit dedicated an issue to the city. I'm not sure if there will be many recipes to make, but sometimes these special issues that they do are really interesting. I hope you like it!

[Terrytx]

SusanL, Houston, Tx, checking in. The mailman just delivered mine a few minutes ago. Pretty cover, but I haven't looked in it.

[Laura B]

Got mine Chapel Hill, NC today. Looks good. After exams, I am going to have to go back to April and tackle it at the same time as May because I don't think I have had time to even try one thing!

[HedyL]

got mine in Manalapan, NJ today.

[chefbec]

Jenkintown, PA, no such luck, but I didn't get April's until April 6th! I'll keep my eye out. And I'll be in Cancun all next week, so hopefully I'll have a nice surprise when I come home...

[Karen M]

Got mine in Michigan! Kind of disappionted at first glance though.

[KarenW]

Got mine in Philly today.

[LSB]

Got mine in northern Virginia today!

[philamark]

Another Philly resident who got his today! Yipee!

[SusanL]

ChefBec I don't know which will make me more upset- you being in Cancun next week or not getting my May issue yet http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/wink.gif Enjoy, because I know my issue is coming to Exeter today!! Too many PA's receiving it, so I must be next!! Enjoy Cancun for me!
Does it look like PA is getting more issues than any other state?

[This message has been edited by SusanL (edited 04-19-2001).]

[mudpuppy]

I'm in Pittsburgh and haven't received my May issue yet.....there goes the methodology behind the possibility of mailing to certain areas first!

[gabbyh]

...I'm in Bethlehem (PA), which is 50 mi. outside of Philadelphia...haven't received my May issue yet...HOWEVER, it's been at my local CVS (drug store) since last week...what's THAT all about???

[This message has been edited by gabbyh (edited 04-19-2001).]

[daner94]

Atlanta checking in, got it yesterday afternoon!

[Leonard]

I also got mine yesterday in Phila!!! This issue looks great! I'm making the Turkey And Asparagus Wraps for dinner on Friday!

[csmcnamara]

I'm in Michigan--same place as you Karen M and I didn't get mine yet!! Hopefully today. I also wasn't too impressed with this months Bon Apetit. I'm not much into French cooking though.

[adb]

Got mine in NH yesterday. I had just given up on April ever coming and had picked it up at the grocery store the day before. So now I have two whole issues to work on at the same time! Plus, Bon Appetit which I agree doesn't look too appealing this month.

[phantomcg]

Got mine in Grand Rapids, Michigan yesterday.

Cheryl

[MrsReber]

Got mine yesterday in Central NJ. Seems early, but I'll take it!

I already mentioned getting mine on the 17th, but I was at the local grocery store this am and they still have April's on display - I'm in Lancaster. Figure that one out!!??

[kima]

Just wanted to alert all you Canucks that the May issue is on the newstands here in Victoria!! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif I know if I subscribed I would probably have too wait another 2 weeks so I gave up my sub. a year ago! Great cover- I am one of those people who likes tofu so I will definately make that mousse soon!

[Darlin]

No copy yet in the Northwest - Seattle area.

[CAROL ANN]

My copy arrived in York, PA today.

[Tiger]

Got mine today! Usually I'm one of the last.
I'm in Pa, in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. So it does look like the eastcoast is getting their first.
Strawberries, ginger, chicken thighs, spring greens, bread, asparagus, bell peppers, barbecue roasted salmon, and flank steak recipes to name a few!

[maureen k]

Got mine! I'm just outside of Baltimore, MD. Can't wait to read it tonight while I unwind with a nice glass of wine!!!

[Peggy]

My issue just arrived today in Northern California. Looks like they have finally made it out West!

Peggy

[chefbec]

Hey, hey, got mine today in Jenkintown, PA! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif Now I have something to read on the beach in Cancun! SusanL, I'll have a daquiri for you! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/wink.gif

[This message has been edited by chefbec (edited 04-19-2001).]

[erinl]

I got mine yesterday (Chicago, Illinois). There are 4 of us at work who get it, and I'm the first. I almost missed my spinning class last night because I was to busy thumbing through and drooling over the strawberries!

[aggie94]

Mine just arrived in Eugene, OR. Looks great!

[makedah]

I got mine today in Madison, WI. I was very surprised to see it! I also got the new Penzey's catalog.

[mariakj]

Yeah! I got mine today in Richmond, VA. I also got my Penzey's catalogue! I'm going to be cooking up a storm now. I agree with everyone that has said that they are not ready for May yet. I still have several recipes from April that I have not gotten to yet.

[crlykat]

I got mine today in Southern California. My DH saw the cover and keeps asking me when Im going to make that!

[Liz K]

My issue came today (Austin, Tx). This is the earliest I've ever gotten it. Have only looked at the cover very briefly so far. It will be Sunday before I even open it again.

Sheesh, I haven't even made anything from April yet!

[larettin]

Got mine today in Portland, Oregon :-)

[Norma]

It arrived in Salem, Oregon, today.

[Bailey]

Got mine in Door County Wisconsin yesterday.

[Sara Emily]

Those of you who are already happily perusing your May issue got my hopes up. I would have been CRUSHED if I had to wait much longer, and my trip to the mailbox today was RICHLY REWARDED! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif - South GA happily reporting in!!

[Wendy w]

It seems as though it is working it's way from east to west. Has anyone out west received theirs yet? Just curious.

[jazzcat]

Received mine in CT today. Too bad I have to head to work, it's my turn to do evenings.

[SandyM]

Southeast Michigan reporting in - received it yesterday (4/19) along with the new Penzeys catalog. How funny, they go hand in hand!! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif

[pmmahan]

arrived in Boston yesterday.
Looks okay - like the articles about strawberries and chicken thighs, but those were the only things that really stuck out.

[Wendy w]

Arrived in So Cal yesterday. Looks good!

[donleyk]

Yesterday here in Columbus, Ohio.

[bossy]

Good to see it arrived to someone in NH and Boston too. I'm in Southern NH and have my fingers crossed! I think the PO has a lot of leeway on when they deliver magazines so some of this is determined very locally - perhaps they wait till a mail day seems lighter than usual and then add some magazines in for delivery?

[dmcgreevey]

I was very disappointed as well. Not mearly as many to try as usual. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/frown.gif

[DmOrtega]

I just received my May issue today, in the Seattle, Washington area.

[Pat]

Still have NOT received mine in South Central Kentucky, the houseboat capital of the world.

[KellyD]

I got mine in Houston on Wednesday - but like an idiot didn't even bother to look at the mail til last night (Thursday)! But it's here!

[BosunsWife]

I can pretty much guarantee that I'll be reading my mom's in Washington State before I'll see my copy. Hopefully jetting off to Seattle area sometime this weekend (depending on military transport planes can be annoying, but can't complain since its free) for two weeks. Hopefully my copy will be in the mail before I get home.

[Ohioan]

Yay, mine arrived in Columbus, OH, today -- and it looks like a winner! After my first quick run-through, there are so many page corners turned down that the magazine looks as if it's having a bad hair day. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif Lots of good stuff for vegetarians this month.

Cheers,
Phoebe

[SusanL]

It must be an east coast,or PA thing, but I got mine yesterday with my Penzey catalog!! Are they related?
Lots of tofu, Yum! Lots of cilantro, Yum! I am happy, hope you get yours this weekend!!
DH gets tired of me asking when he brings in the mail if it is here yet!!!!

[jmarie]

Southwest Virginia today! Marion to be exact....and at first glance....not too exciting.

[ebobbitt]

My issue arrived in Central Arkansas on Saturday. Yee ha!

[Vanessa]

Got it in Maryland this weekend! Have not looked through it yet.

[TIGBOO]

NYC, was here on Saturday!... I didnt find as many recipes as I had in other issues.. I don't want tofu in my desserts! On the other hand, covered three bon appetit recipes this weekend.. One being my first souffle (and it came out great!)

[mb]

South Florida - got it yesterday (Monday the 23rd) - i thought it would be late again this month.

at first, it didn't look too exciting. but by the time i went through the whole issue, i picked out a lot of recipes to try. most of them are chicken though...so i don't think we'll be able to make them all this month!

[Hockinginn]

South Alabama--got mine on the 10th and there's so many great recipes this month--I've already done a few, with a lot more to follow!

[gabbyh]

My husband came running in from the mailbox holding up my magazine..."You're Cooking Light is here!!"...now why doesn't he do this with the other 10 or so magazines I subscribe to? ;-}

Bethlehem, PA

[Christine]

I'm in Minneapolis and I still haven't received my issue!

[Curleytop]

Hurray! I got mine today 4/27 in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

[gabbyh]

May issue finally arrived in Bethlehem, PA...why does my husband come running in from the mailbox holding up my copy of CL yelling "It's here! It's here" ?? He doesn't seem to do this with any of my other mag subscriptions...

[gabbyh]

Was wondering why my post didn't show up earlier...so I re-posted and they both popped up at the same time...anyone else having problems??

[Christine]

CL May issue arrived Saturday in Minneapolis (April 28th)!
