Slow Cooker Sausages Peppers and Onions from NYT Cooking. This has good flavors, but seemed out of balance. It was too salty, so I would not add any salt, as the sausage is salty. The Parmesan rind may also have added salt. I also felt the sausage dominated too much. I would double the amount of vegetables at least. As made? It gets a 3.

Acorn Squash Saltimbocca from Food and Wine. This is a fun concept. I may have undersalted the squash wedges, knowing the prosciutto is rather salty, but the end result was that the part of the squash that was not covered with prosciutto felt like it needed some salt—it was a bit uneven. As made, we give it a 3.

Peperonata Agrodulce with Whipped Feta Toast from Food and Wine. This is a simple recipe, but the combination of the sweet and sour peppers and onion with the whipped feta is very good. This gets a 4.

Kimchi Egg and Cheese Sandwich from NYT Cooking. This is a very easy variation on grilled cheese, with egg and kimchi added to it. Overall it is pleasant but didn't stand out for us. We give it a 3.

Missed the photo, the new recipe is the Improved Cherry Manhattan, a creation of Chat GPT. IT has 2 oz of rye, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, and 1/2 oz of Kirschwasser, along with 2 dashes of Angostura. We enjoyed this, it has a guilt more cherry flavor than the average manhattan. We give it a 4.
