Drat, I've missed the testing again...not very good for someone who calls herself Testkitchenette I must say.

Are the crepes still available? I can't really tell.

If not, I'd love to try the Pan Bagnat a Gribiche.

Crepes are all yours!

Nevermind, I see this is already below. I'll do the Pan Bagnat a Gribiche instead.

Actually the Fall Farro Salad is still up for grabs -- want it?
 
annalea October 7, 2010
Actually, I'll stick with the Pan Bagnat a Gribiche.

Dibs on the tuna and white bean salad with heirloom tomatoes!

Damizelle, that recipe is already taken. Still available are:

Pan Bagnat a Gribiche, The Farmer's (Brown Bag) Lunch, Nonna's Piadina, Tortilla Lollies, Fall Farro Salad and Buckwheat Crepes with Ham, Comte Cheese and Apple

Would you like to test any of those?

Thanks for testing my recipe - I'm so excited! I hope you enjoy it :)
 
Sagegreen October 8, 2010
You are welcome. You had me at "under 15 minutes!" This sounds like a great way to throw those pantry ingredients together for something both so portable and savory. Looking forward to making this tomorrow!
 
Taiyyaba October 7, 2010
I can test the BFF Crispy Coated Chicken!
 
Food52 October 7, 2010
Sorry Taiyyaba, for now we're sticking with 1 tester per recipe and TiggyBee already snagged this one. Is there another recipe you'd like to test? (And if you do make the BFF chicken, please feel free to add your thoughts to the recipe's comments section)
 
Taiyyaba October 7, 2010
