What We're Eating (and Drinking) This Weekend: Tacos, Dumplings, and so Much Rosé
It's been a busy week at the BA office and we're ready for the weekend. We're stocking up on food and booze for a knockout Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight tomorrow night, and we're dusting off our picnic gear for the first (nearly) 80 degree day of the season. This is what's on our plate for the weekend. Now your turn.
Danielle Walsh2/8Crispy Thai Pork with Cucumber Salad
I've been craving crispy bits of ground meat. Weird, I know. I might use this recipe as a model but riff on a bit, depending on what kind of meat I'm feeling this weekend. I loved it when I tasted it during Readers' Choice Week last year and now it's time to bring it into my kitchen. —Carey Polis, senior web editor
Christopher Testani4/8Pork Soup Dumplings
For New Year's Eve this year, I threw a dumpling party: I made huge bowls of vegetarian fillings in advance, then everyone helped make, steam, and pan-fry them. It was such a success that I've been called upon to have one again this weekend. I'm in the process of convincing my friends we should tackle the Pork Soup Dumplings from the May issue, but I'll get back to you on that. —Christina Chaey, assistant web editor

It's supposed to be 77 degrees on Sunday, my friends from college will be visiting, and my beer stock is looking very strong. Sunday afternoon will certainly be spent on a blanket in a secluded section of Central Park (away from the eyes of law enforcement officials), enjoying cheese, charcuterie, saisons, and extra-juicy double IPAs in the sun. If you don't see me in the office on Monday, I'll probably be somewhere between 80th and 100th Streets. —Alex Delany, production assistant
