RSS feeds are a good thing, and the feed from “Serious Eats”: brings me great food ideas and recipes every day. This one is a new favorite: Grilled Chicken Thighs with Roasted Grape Tomatoes, explaining the origin of capers, both sizes. We had the roasted grape tomatoes tonight with turkey burgers. Easy and well worth a try.
