Warm Ricotta Dip with Wild Mushrooms and Arugula: Herbed Pita Chips
Kari writes: Tonight is book club and I promised about a week ago (when I wasn’t thinking) to bring over something appetizerish. I would love to get away with making something without going to the supermarket. Maybe some sort of dip with the ricotta (and garlic?), but I’ve never made a dip with ricotta before.

Warm Farro Salad with Chicken and Blood Oranges
Yankees Fan writes: This is what I have kicking around for dinner tonight. Between the quinoa and polenta is farro (and to the right are blood oranges). I’ve got a rotisserie chicken in the fridge, as well as some fresh herbs. What do you think?
Tony’s take: I think, as a diehard Red Sox fan, I must be pretty hard up taking questions from your kind. But the Sox beat the Yanks yesterday and so the past must be forgiven. … Continue Reading
