Gorgeous photo, @LindaWhit! Just dropping in to let everyone know our new DOTQ and COTQ threads are up - come join us as we cook, eat and share our thoughts about stews and Sichuan specialties!

STEWS - Fall 2025 (Oct-Dec) Dish of the Quarter

We had a tie for DOTQ this quarter, with crepes/Dutch babies and stews finishing in a dead heat. As a lover of all things braised, I cast my tie-breaking vote for STEWS! Looking forward to reading about all of your comforting creations this quarter.

SICHUAN - Fall 2025 (Oct-Dec) Cuisine of the Quarter

You HOs were clearly feeling the heat this quarter, making SICHUAN our big winner for COTQ! Sichuan is my favorite regional Chinese cuisine so I am really looking forward to this one. Bring on the mala!
