I can test Cranberry and Persimmon Filled Endive with Tangy Goat Cheese Dressing if it's still available.

I LOVE your problem solving here, gingerroot: "If you find yourself with any stubborn chunks of persimmon, simply pick these out and eat them."

Thanks so much for the EP! It's always an honor, especially with so many great recipes being posted here every day.

If is ok, would like to trade and take the Tortilla Soup instead; after Thanksgiving I have the broth, turkey etc., and happen to have the peppers, dried, but I can soak them to make the slurry, should be able to find a party on Sunday!! What fun...

Yes, that's fine. That puts the Cranberry and Persimmon Filled Endive with Tangy Goat Cheese Dressing back onto the table for testing.

I just happen to have some rosemary and thyme languishing in my fridge from Thanksgiving. AND, I just happen to know for a fact that on Sunday I'll need a break from studying for finals and I'll need some delicious bread. Sounds like the Rosemary-Thyme Yeast Wreath is perfect, I'll take it!
(I PROMISE I'll get my review in on time this time. Cross my heart.)

I would love to test the Kugelhopf, but can't do the almonds. Since it's only an external decoration, can I still test it? I understand if the answer is no.

I will do the potted pig and the feta cheese short breads....THANKS! Can't wait to be part of the testing team! Heaven knows I always have an opinion! Yay. Don't tell my kids about the potted pig, they will love it, if they don't read the recipe and instructions!. I have the juniper berries already. Jonathan Sawyer (here in Cleveland Greenhouse Tavern ) is gaining notoriety with hisPif Face!!! Off to the grocer and farmers market.

Welcome to the testing field! We'll put you down for the Potted Pig since fiveandspice already claimed the Feta Cheese Shortbreads (but if you make the shortbreads, please do add your comments to the recipe's comments section). And feel free to email us at [email protected] with any other questions.

I made the potted pig yesterday and it's extremely good, IMHO. Although my friend who grew up new Dijon is coming for lunch tommorrow to give me her opinion. I will let you know what she thinks. Oh, and I am bringing it to the DC Food52 cookie exchange for even more tasters to try!
