Step away from your computer for a few hours and look what happens! Must be more in synch with the F52 timeline. Just so you all know - I'm making one anyway (said with the same small bravado my four year old uses when informing me that he is not, under any circumstances, brushing his teeth).

I agree. What a great motto to live by. Thanks for testing the French Toast TAP! Don't be afraid of the Pernod. :)

Ha - thanks! :) I encourage everyone to live by this motto - and eat more pie! I do not fear the Pernod - but was glad to read the pointer about not downing a shot of it during cooking....

Sorry, I wasn't able to check back earlier to test another entry, but I look forward to making some of these recipes on my own. Congrats to all EP candidates -- these recipes all look and sound just wonderful!

I'll test the pear almond muffins, please. Are there just EP candidates this week and no already-tested EPs? Thanks!

Yes just candidates today. We're now dividing the dibs and the EP posts. Editors' Picks for pears with photographs will be revealed next Wednesday or Thursday, like last weeks post, http://www.food52.com/blog/2515_editors_picks_your_best_greens

I will take the Peartini! A bit selfish on my part, because after this crazy week ( I know it is only Thursday), I will have a good excuse for making this drink!
