Hello and welcome to this thing we’re doing where we help you figure out what you’re gonna put in your mouth this week. Some of these are recipes we’ve tried, some of these are recipes we’re looking forward to trying, all of them are fucking delicious. Tell us what you want to put in your piehole or suggest your own recipes, and we’ll talk about which things we made, which things we loved, and which things have changed us irreversibly as people. Last week, we ate a bunch of spicy things.

It’s so hot outside that sometimes I feel like I might genuinely be melting into the sidewalk Alex Mack style, which means it’s the perfect time of year for chilled soups. They’re a hot-weather godsend, a source of comfort even when it’s too hot to slurp chicken broth. So grab a bowl and get ready to chill out, my friends. This is our moment.
