▼ + stars: | 2024-05-12 | by ( Sam Sifton | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

I took a fantastic drive the other day across the top of Connecticut, from Simsbury over to Kingston, N.Y., through old tobacco fields and cow pastures and apple orchards and into the Hudson Valley under a bluebird sky. Slow-roasted salmon with salsa verde? I settled on artichoke carbonara (above), with bucatini and a garnish of raw egg yolk, to almost literally gild the lily. I drove over the bridge from Rhinecliff in afternoon sunlight and could almost see the dish glimmering below me on the river. I like it on any Sunday, but if you’re in need of a fantastic Mother’s Day meal, it’d be extra nice this evening.

Ina Garten swears by homemade chicken stock. Garten doesn't believe "store-bought is fine" when it comes to chicken stock. But when it comes to chicken stock, Garten believes the ready-made version is "meh." "I think of homemade chicken stock as liquid gold," Garten writes in "Go-to Dinners," her most recent cookbook. Plus, having a big pot of chicken stock simmering away on my stove just makes me feel good."

I made Ina Garten's chicken pot pie soup, a recipe she came up with after seeing it in an airport. Garten's chicken pot pie soup is rich, comforting, and one of the best soups I've made this winter. I've warmed my family and friends' souls with Ina Garten's chicken chili, winter minestrone, and ravioli en brodo. I'm also now a champion of her homemade chicken stock (truly liquid gold). I'm trying to whip up as many soups as possible before this season ends, and nothing sounded more comforting than her chicken pot pie soup.

Any conversation about comfort cooking has to include roast chicken. Colu Henry’s roast chicken with maple butter and rosemary is a little sweet, a little salty, very savory and tremendously comforting. Ali Slagle’s recipe really lets you slouch into it, too. Love Your LeftoversThe herbal-sweet, rosemary-maple flavors of the roast chicken would be really nice in Ali’s 10-minute chicken salad with fennel and charred dates. And leftover roasted peppers, greens and beans would convert quite easily into a quick minestrone.

Some preschools have kids harvest vegetables to eat for lunch, while in elementary schools, they learn about the farms that produce vegetables, fish and other foods.

CNN —Like Lana Del Rey’s apparent new gig moonlighting as a waitress at an Alabama Waffle House, late night icon David Letterman, too, landed a new job… sort of. Letterman is seen in the video perusing the aisles of the Hy-Vee, bagging groceries, eating uncooked minestrone soup and telling customers on the loudspeaker that “today and today only,” celery was free. Letterman was reportedly in Des Moines over the weekend to attend the Hy-Vee IndyCar Race, where Christian Lundgaard was driving the No. Last week, videos showing the singer donning a Waffle House uniform while serving customers from behind the counter began to circulate on social media. Letterman and Del Rey aren’t the only famous faces to surprise patrons as unsuspecting staff members in recent months.
