This week on The Shmooze, Sarah Bunin Benor, Ph.D., joins us to talk about her latest project—a book built around the theme of heirlooms. In conversation she speaks about how she is seeking stories about family heirlooms, and she shares how these heirlooms provide a connection to place and language. These stories will be part of a forthcoming book. Sarah founded and directs Hebrew Union College's Jewish Language Project, which runs the Jewish Language website and the Jewish Language Lexicon and hosts the Heritage Words podcast. All of these efforts intersect in this latest project. Episode 416 September 28, 2026 Yiddish Book Center Amherst, MA

Dublin-born, Brighton-based Sarah Crean released her second album Heirloom on September 18. It's a concept album based on the myth of Calypso, using her story as a lens for Sarah to explore loss, escape, and reclaiming her own voice. It's also entirely made by women, which was a very deliberate move. We talk about Sarah's journey, the viral success of the 2022 single 2am which led to her getting signed, moving to London, later getting dropped, depressed, and finding her way out of that hole. Along the way we also discuss Electric Picnic, Olivia Rodrigo, and writing killer choruses.

Growing up, my guest Rhonda Budge spent hours sitting beside her grandmother, staring at a massive framed portrait of her great-great-grandfather, Johann Christian Hansen. Family lore claimed he heroically rescued neighbors from their rooftops during an 1872 Danish flood, lost his ship, and gave away his reward money. It's a story that sounded almost too extraordinary to be completely true. But when Rhonda set a clear research goal and wrote to an archive in Denmark, a 1908 newspaper obituary proved every single detail of her grandmother's hero story was real. Join us for a powerful conversation about verifying family legends, preserving photo heirlooms, and discovering the unbelievable truth behind the pictures on our walls.〰️

sighed.Sv: Hon var inte säker på att Johans och Karins metoder skulle fungera, men hon hade inget annat val än att låta dem försöka.En: She wasn't sure if Johan's and Karin's methods would work, but she had no choice but to let them try.Sv: Johan bestämde sig för att börja med att samla familjens historier.En: Johan decided to start by gathering the family's stories.Sv: "Mamma brukade alltid säga att det fanns dolda vrår och hemligheter i det här huset," sade han och tittade drömmande bort mot porträtten på väggarna.En: "Mom always used to say there were hidden nooks and secrets in this house," he said, gazing dreamily at the portraits on the walls.Sv: Under tiden började Karin sin teknologiska jakt.En: In the meantime, Karin began her technological hunt.Sv: Hon gick försiktigt över de gamla trägolven med sin metalldetektor.En: She carefully walked over the old wooden floors with her metal detector.Sv: Plötsligt hördes ett pip från maskinen.En: Suddenly, the machine beeped.Sv:

dörr.En: Behind it, to their surprise, was a small door.Sv: Johan, med ett glimt av upptäckarlust i sina ögon, öppnade dörren som gnisslade i halvdunklet.En: Johan, with a glint of exploration in his

further in lay an old trunk wrapped in dust and cobwebs.Sv: De öppnade den och där, bland gamla masker och dräkter, glimmade familjeklenoden i det svaga ljuset.En: They opened it, and there, among old masks and costumes, the family heirloom glimmered in the faint light.Sv: Tiden var knapp, men de hann precis klara upp det hela innan gästerna började anlända.En: Time was short, but they managed to sort it all out just before the guests began to arrive.Sv: Med triumferande leenden bar de tillbaka den älskade klenoden till sin rättmätiga plats ovanför spisen.En: With triumphant smiles, they carried the beloved heirloom back to its rightful place above the fireplace.Sv: När familjemedlemmarna samlats runt elden för att fira kände Elsa en lättnad hon inte förväntat sig.En: When the family members gathered around the fire to celebrate, Elsa felt a relief she hadn't anticipated.Sv: Johan log självsäkert efter ett för honom berikande äventyr, och Karin strålade av stolthet över att ha löst mysteriet.En: Johan smiled confidently after what was a rewarding adventure for him, and Karin beamed with pride for having solved the mystery.Sv: Det var en Halloween att minnas, där klenoden hittades igen, och de tre fick en ny respekt för varandras styrkor och olika tillvägagångssätt.En: It was a Halloween to remember, where the heirloom was rediscovered, and the three gained new respect for each other's strengths and different approaches.Sv: Det goda skrattet från familjen fyllde huset, och bland den färgsprakande höstprakten utanför gnistrade klenoden stolthet över sin plats i

"Some people don't have heirloom items. Even people who have everything in the world, they don't have their own heirloom items. Those are really special things to have, and incorporating those things in your wardrobe- that's what makes somebody's style personal and special." —Theresa Palmer Pre-loved luxury isn't a compromise anymore— for many stylists, it's the whole point. Wardrobe stylist Theresa Palmer has spent nearly 25 years dressing Bay Area executives, creatives, and public figures, and her practice now rests on one conviction: the most considered thing you wear is something with a history. In this conversation, Theresa breaks down what luxury actually means once quality and craftsmanship stop being measured only by what's new. She explains why heirloom pieces carry a kind of personal meaning that new items can't replicate, how she sources hard-to-find designer pieces — including exclusive consignment through platforms like Reflaunt — and why a curated wardrobe is fundamentally more sustainable than one built by constant accumulation. She also gets specific about the mechanics of great personal style: bespoke fittings, mixing one vintage statement piece with modern basics, and treating your own closet like a department store you already own. This episode is for anyone rethinking what belongs in their closet, curious about secondhand luxury, or looking for a more intentional approach to getting dressed. Key Takeaways • A curated wardrobe makes dressing faster because every piece is chosen to work with everything else already in the closet. • Heirloom and vintage pieces — an inherited ring, a vintage blazer, a strand of pearls — give an outfit a personal story that new items can't replicate. • Hard-to-find luxury items like Alaïa belts are often easier and cheaper to source secondhand than to find new, even at full retail price. • Exclusive consignment platforms like Reflaunt can offer stylists and clients higher resale returns than broader resale marketplaces. • Pairing one vintage statement piece with new basics instantly makes an outfit feel more personal and less generic. • Photographing your shoes, bags, and jewelry to build new outfit combinations is a simple way to shop your closet before buying anything new. • Rotating pieces you already own, instead of reaching for the same favorites, can make getting dressed feel genuinely fresh again.

Shop my all-natural skincare products at Arvoti.com.Seedless fruit is a scam, and we made it possible.Seedless grapes, seedless watermelon, seedless citrus... almost every fruit at the grocery store has been bred to remove the one part that actually makes it a plant.I only started noticing this when I went to buy grapevines for my garden and saw "seedless" listed as the top selling point on nearly every variety. Growing up, I would have picked seedless every time. Now I deliberately look for seeded ones, and this episode is about why that changed.Seeds carry the plant's genetics, the nutrients we're told to supplement with, and the option to grow food again next year without buying anything new. Grape seed extract is sold in capsules while the grapes themselves are engineered to remove the same seed those capsules come from. That contradiction runs through the whole food system.Heirloom and traditional varieties don't get banned. They get replaced when shoppers stop buying them, growers stop planting them, and nurseries stop stocking them. A variety can disappear without anyone deciding to remove it.I also raise a bigger pattern in the episode: Fertility is dropping in people, and it's being bred out of the fruit we eat. Both are worth paying attention to.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[4:41] Choosing seeded grape varieties over the seedless standard[6:13] How shipping and shelf life influence which varieties survive[8:11] He who controls the food controls the people[10:22] The pattern of stripping whole foods into components[11:55] Seed saving once meant genuine food independence[13:58] Watching the full growth cycle changes how a seed looks[15:38] Traditional food skills fade when nobody needs them[17:50] Preserving diversity as a form of resilience[21:11] What to notice next time seedless is printed on a bagGo Deeper:Want to explore more about why I'm choosing deeded fruit again?Dig deeper into the seedless fruit conversation →Resources Mentioned:The Homestead Prepper's Guide To Canning CourseFind more from Gubba:Gubba Homestead | X | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | WebsiteGubba Homestead Products | Shop

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Sunlit Hopes: Trading Precious Heirlooms for a Sister's Life Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-09-12-07-38-19-hi Story Transcript:Hi: टूटे शीशे की छत से छनकर आती धूप के पैटर्न ने पुराने मॉल को रहस्यमयी बना दिया था।En: The patterns created by the sunlight filtering through the shattered glass ceiling made the old mall seem mysterious.Hi: यह मॉल अब बस एक ढांचा था, जो पहले कभी जीवन से भरा था और अब केवल एक आवाज़ का बाजार बनकर रह गया था।En: This mall was now just a framework, once brimming with life and now reduced to just an echoing marketplace.Hi: यहाँ लोग जीवन के लिए जरुरी वस्तुओं का आदान-प्रदान किया करते थे।En: People here used to trade essentials for life.Hi: ऐसे ही वक्त में, अरुण ने अपनी बहन मीरा के लिए दवा ढूंढ़ने का सफर शुरू किया।En: In such times, Arun began his journey to find medicine for his sister Meera.Hi: अरुण एक चालाक और मेहनती इंसान था।En: Arun was a clever and hardworking person.Hi: उसने कभी सपने में भी नहीं सोचा था कि उसे अपनी प्यारी बहन के लिए दवा तक नहीं मिल पाएगी।En: He never thought that even in his dreams he wouldn't be able to find medicine for his beloved sister.Hi: मीरा बीमार थी और उसके पास वक्त कम था।En: Meera was sick, and she had little time.Hi: मॉल में मौजूद सभी लोग उन्हीं की तरह अपनी-अपनी जरुरतें पूरी करने आए थे।En: Everyone in the mall was there to fulfill their own needs.Hi: लेकिन एक शख्स, संजय, अपने धूर्त व्यवहार के लिए जाना जाता था।En: But one person, Sanjay, was known for his cunning behavior.Hi: उसके पास सबसे ज्यादा दवाइयाँ थीं, लेकिन उसके समझौते हमेशा संदिग्ध थे।En: He had the most medicines, but his deals were always dubious.Hi: अरुण ने संजय की ओर बढ़ते हुए चौकड़ीबाजी की और संजय के सामने खड़ा हो गया।En: Arun, while strategizing, approached Sanjay and stood before him.Hi: "मुझे मीरा के लिए दवा चाहिए," उसने कहा।En: "I need medicine for Meera," he said.Hi: संजय ने उसे ऊपर से नीचे तक देखा और कहा, "तुम्हारे पास क्या है?En: Sanjay looked him up and down and asked, "What do you have?"Hi: " अरुण के पास कुछ खाने के सामान थे, लेकिन ये संजय को संतोषजनक नहीं लगे।En: Arun had some food items, but they didn't satisfy Sanjay.Hi: "तुम्हें क्या चाहिए?En: "What do you want?"Hi: " अरुण ने हताशा में पूछा।En: Arun asked in desperation.Hi: संजय ने धीरे से कहा, "अगर तुम्हारे पास कुछ अनमोल है, तो उसका मोल बता सकते हो।En: Sanjay slowly replied, "If you have something precious, you can name its price."Hi: "अरुण के पास एक पुराना पारिवारिक आभूषण था, जो पीढ़ियों से उनके पास था।En: Arun had an old family heirloom that had been in their family for generations.Hi: उसने संजय के सामने वह आभूषण निकाला और उसकी आंखों में झलकते लालच को देखा।En: He took out the heirloom in front of Sanjay and saw the greed in his eyes.Hi: "यह इसका मोल है," अरुण ने कहा।En: "This is its price," Arun said.Hi: संजय ने कुछ पल सोचा और फिर आहिस्ता से आभूषण लिया।En: Sanjay thought for a few moments and then slowly took the heirloom.Hi: "यह सही है," उसने कहा।En: "This is right," he said.Hi: अरुण को भरोसा नहीं था कि संजय वादा निभाएगा, फिर भी उसने आभूषण सौंपने का निर्णय लिया।En: Arun didn't trust that Sanjay would keep his promise, yet he decided to hand over the heirloom.Hi: उसके पास और कोई विकल्प नहीं था।En: He had no other choice.Hi: उसका दिल धड़कन बंद कर रहा था, लेकिन वह अपने आखिरी आशा के सहारे खड़ा रहा।En: His heart was pounding, but he stood firm on the strength of his last hope.Hi: संजय ने वादा निभाया।En: Sanjay kept his promise.Hi: उसने अरुण को दवा दी।En: He gave Arun the medicine.Hi: अरुण ने जल्दी से दवा ली और मीरा के पास दौड़ा।En: Arun quickly took the medicine and ran to Meera.Hi: मीरा की हालत धीरे-धीरे सुधरने लगी।En: Meera's condition gradually began to improve.Hi: अरुण को उस पल में एहसास हुआ कि इस दुनिया में कुछ मानवता बची हुई है।En: At that moment, Arun realized that there was still some humanity left in this world.Hi: उसने सीखा कि भरोसा करना जरूरी है, भले ही समय कठोर क्यों न हो।En: He learned that it's important to trust, no matter how harsh the times may be.Hi: सुबह की धूप मॉल की टूटे शीशे पर बिखरी थी, और अरुण की आँखों में नई रोशनी थी।En: The morning sunlight scattered over the mall's shattered glass, and a new light was in Arun's eyes.Hi: उसने अपनी बहन के चेहरे पर फिर से मुस्कान देखी।En: He saw a smile return to his sister's face.Hi: इस नष्‍ट प्रणाली में जहाँ सब कुछ बिखरा हुआ था, वहाँ मानवता की एक नई किरण फूट उठी थी।En: In this shattered system where everything was scattered, a new ray of humanity had emerged.

When Davis Wilkinson was 14, his older brother Adam died from an overdose.   While grieving the loss of his brother, Davis watched his mother take on another burden few people talk about — the hours of paperwork, phone calls and frustration that begin after someone dies.   One memory stayed with him: listening as his mother struggled simply to cancel Adam's gym membership.   In this episode of The Executor Help Podcast, David talks with Davis about how that experience changed the direction of his life, why he later chose to work in a funeral home, and what he has learned from helping thousands of grieving families.   They also talk about why grief isn't something to fix, what grieving people really need from us, and why one of the greatest gifts people can give those they love may simply be their attention and time.   Davis is the founder of Heirloom, a U.S.-based company that helps families locate assets after someone dies.   For David's book, other resources and more visit www.davidedey.com

Claire Loudis shares rice's impact on water, climate, and farmer livelihoods, and why Lotus Foods decided to change how rice is grown around the world. We talk about the many benefits of heirloom varietals and the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) method they're scaling to grow more rice with less water and lower methane emissions. Claire then shares details on the nature-based practices that go into growing their Regenerative Organic Certified ® (ROC) Basmati Rice, the brand's commitment to seed sovereignty, and the biggest challenges she sees the food industry facing in the coming years.

Their whole job is managing uncertainty and while climate change has made that harder, they remain one of the most innovative and resilient groups of people I know.

Why deep listening and personal connection are at the heart of Daniel's design process. The stories behind a few deeply personal pieces. The idea of an "instant heirloom" and how jewelry can carry family history, memory, love, and meaning across generations. Daniel's move from Washington, D.C. to Puerto Rico and how the community and culture of Old San Juan have influenced his creativity.

"את עשית את רוב העבודה."En: Itamar smiled at her. "You did most of the work."He: מאותו יום, תליה ידעה שהיא יכולה לסמוך על עצמה.En: From that day, Talia knew she could rely on herself.He: עולם החקירה שנראה לה קודם כחידתי, נפתח בפניה.En: The world of investigation, which previously seemed mysterious to her, opened up before her.He: היא הבינה כמה חשובה ההתמדה וכמה כוחה של שותפות יכול לשנות מצבים מורכבים.En: She understood the importance of perseverance and how the power of partnership can change complex situations.He: תחנת המשטרה בתל אביב אולי שוממת מעט, אבל עבורה היא הייתה המקום שבו למדה להאמין בעצמה.En: The police station in Tel Aviv might have seemed a bit desolate, but for her, it was the place where she learned to believe in herself.

This is a Vintage episode from 2006.Why This Episode MattersErica Renaud explains why heirloom, traditional and open-pollinated seeds matter to agricultural biodiversity.Mark and Francis share how they worked directly with local farmers to plan crops, commit to purchases and even shoulder some of the farmer's risk.The conversation connects sustainable agriculture with something more immediate to a restaurant: better-tasting food.From backyard tomatoes to restaurant purchasing, they explore ways consumers, chefs and farmers can build a closer connection to where food comes from.The ConversationIn 2006, organic farmer and researcher Erica Renaud of Seeds of Change joined Mark Pascal and Francis Schott for a conversation about something fundamental to the food on our plates: the seed.Erica explains the differences among heirloom, traditional and open-pollinated varieties and why preserving genetic diversity matters. The discussion moves from seed saving and organic agriculture to the relationship between farmers and chefs—and that's where Mark and Francis bring the conversation directly into their restaurants.They describe meeting with farmers before planting season to decide what to grow, committing to buy entire crops and sharing some of the agricultural risk. When hundreds of pounds of Jersey tomatoes arrived at once, the restaurants put them across the menu and preserved the harvest so they could serve local tomato sauce in the middle of winter.For Mark and Francis, the motivation wasn't simply philosophical: the food tasted better. Their argument is that the search for the most sustainably grown tomato and the search for the best-tasting tomato can lead you to the same farm.Erica also makes the case for growing something yourself—even in a container or small garden—as a way to understand food differently. From teaching children where food comes from to discovering how dramatically one tomato variety can taste from another, the conversation follows food from seed to farm to restaurant to plate.Guest BioAt the time of this 2006 conversation, Erica Renaud was an organic farmer and researcher and the Research and Farm Manager for Seeds of Change, working on organic seed production, agricultural biodiversity and programs connecting farmers with chefs and consumers.Timestamps00:00 Heirloom seeds, open pollination and preserving biodiversity04:00 Seed patents, hybrids and who controls the food supply07:00 Why chefs and farmers should plan together12:00 Sustainable food often tastes better and everyone should grow something18:30 Why organic food should start with organic seed24:30 How consumers can drive demand for better, more sustainable food InfoSeeds of Change https://www.seedsofchange.com/The organization discussed in this 2006 interview has evolved considerably since the original broadcast.

What if it's never too late to build the business—or the life—you've always imagined? On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Paula Blankenship, Founder of Heirloom Traditions and author of the new book, Just Open the Jar. Paula built Heirloom Traditions, known for its All In One Paint, after the age of 50 with no outside funding, no industry connections, and no traditional business background. What started with teaching women how to transform old furniture and cabinets grew into one of the most successful direct-to-consumer paint brands in the country and a fiercely loyal community she built long before "community-led growth" became a business strategy. In this episode, Paula shares the incredible story behind building her company, the challenges she faced as a single mother and entrepreneur, and why she believes the biggest obstacle for most people isn't talent—it's waiting for the perfect moment to begin. We also dive into the lessons behind her new book, Just Open the Jar, including the importance of creativity, resilience, reinvention, and having the courage to start before you feel ready. Whether you're building a business, considering a career change, or simply looking for the confidence to take the next step, this conversation is packed with practical insights on entrepreneurship, leadership, community building, and creating a life on your own terms.

BROGGI PLEASE MAKE TRES A POUND CAKE

Hi! Woah. I leave for the East Coast to start my Make It Fast (please for the love of ME, pre-order it!!!) book tour in less than 48 hours. My literary agent just called to check in on my mental state and I'll tell you what I told her— I'm honestly feeling great. I haven't started packing, but I've got a million outfit options strewn about my closet, and I'll get there eventually. The flights are booked and the hotel reservations are made. It's go time, baby. I'm also thrilled to announce that I have officially entered phase 5 of the creative process:With my last book, I was firmly still in phase #4 (“I suck”) until the book had actually been published and all of you started to cook from it and share your photos and reviews and love of the book. But with Make It Fast, I hosted a party and gave the book to my friends and family two weeks before pub day! I created an Illegal Bookclub and roped in my friends all across the country to share advanced copies of the book with their communities! And, comically, Indigo (the main Canadian seller of the book) accidentally sent all of the pre-orders like two weeks early, so all of the Canadian What To Cookers out there have had their books for a week now! And Canadians are so nice — they are sending so much positivity my way!So there are a LOT of people out in the world, people who I love and trust, who have already seen it, and cooked from it, and told me how much they love it. Thus launching me into phase #5 (“this might be ok”) a few weeks earlier than my last book publishing cycle. I guess, if I'm being honest, what I'm saying is that I require external validation to feel good about my work? Is that pathetic? I don't think so. I think it's a real, honest part of most (all?) people's creative process. It feels really scary and vulnerable to launch a piece of work that you've worked so hard on out into the world. It feels a little bit like dropping your deeply feeling, sensitive, absolutely incredible child off at Kindergarten for the first day of school. Will he make friends? Will the teachers understand how creative and kind and cool he is? Will they be patient with him and let him finish his art project because he really doesn't like when he doesn't get to finish his art project? Will the world love him as much as I do? This analogy is not random: I am dropping my deeply feeling sensitive child off at Kindergarten for his first day of school tomorrow, and the jitters and unease of that feel so akin to publishing a book. By next Wednesday when I send this newsletter, Make It Fast will be in your kitchens, if you've pre-ordered (have I mentioned I'd really love it if you could pre-order?). I'll have already been on Good Morning America two mornings in a row (bless them, what an invitation!), spoken with Jenna Bush Hager in front of an audience of you in Brooklyn, yapped with Dan Pelosi in Boston, chatted with Kerry Diamond in DC, and I'll be en route to Charlotte where I'll be in conversation with our very own Molly from What To Cook. I am excited, and I am nervous, and just like I've been telling my five-year-old, it's OK to feel both of those things at once. And Phase 6 (“this is awesome”) is just around the corner for both of us. There are lots of other book tour dates — check them all out here!Today's So Into That is sponsored by FP Movement. We've talked about our love for their Carpe Diem shorts many times before (a truly perfect athletic short at a very good price point!), but FP Movement has many more athleisure pieces we love. From Molly from What To Cook: I'm on vacation at the beach this week and have been living in this dress and shorts combo when I'm not in a bathing suit. It's so so comfy and easy to throw on for beach walks — it'll also be great to wear on the sports sidelines when it's 100 degrees outside. I'm a shortie (5'3”) and had to shorten the straps a tiny bit (worth the effort!). We also love these biker shorts with this boxy short sleeve and this oversized long sleeve! * Dr. Becky invited me to plan the menu for a REALLY special dinner celebrating Good Inside Baby on Monday in LA. I got to hang with MALLY K. GOLDMAN and Megan Roup and Elaine Welteroth and so many incredible, smart women who make motherhood safer, more fun, stronger, and more fashionable. The dilly feta salad with feta brined shrimp, flank steak with elote salad, and bbq chicken are all straight from the book! My menu concept was elegant California BBQ and I think we nailed it! PS If you're in LA, Heirloom catered and they rule. PS because I know you all want to know, Becky is awesome IRL. She is a fellow insomniac romance book lover, she values her female friendships so highly and they come up in conversation all the time (this is always a green flag for me when I meet new people), and she's just so incredibly smart, insightful, and cool. This is not sponsored but we've swapped codes for each other in the past and my Good Inside code still works — you can use code WHATTOCOOK to get 20% off a subscription to Good Inside if you could use a little parenting assist (like with how to get your deeply feeling kid to dread the first day of school less!). * I recently worked with Groundwork to hire a new team member (woohooooo, Meg!) and it was such an incredible experience that I wanted to share. Three in four U.S. workers are also caregivers, and as that caregiving work collides with mid-career years, most end up forced to choose between staying all in at real personal cost or stepping away entirely — becoming a hugely qualified, "off-market" talent pool that's actually eager to work, just on slightly different terms. Groundwork connects people like that with employers building smarter, more flexible teams. In my case, I knew I needed help in a certain space but had no idea how to define the role or find the right person. They sat down with me, helped flesh it out, wrote the job description, sourced candidates, and ran interviews, and took it all off my plate. And brought me the most INCREDIBLE CANDIDATES! Like lights out brilliant women. If you're a small business owner stuck in hiring limbo, or you're job hunting and sick of the LinkedIn black hole, Groundwork is worth a look.* From Molly: A go-to breakfast of mine this summer has been avocado toast inspired by some Caro made for our team last time I was in Carmel. Mashed avocado seasoned with salt and pepper, slathered on a thick slice of GOOD toasted sourdough, and topped with chili crisp, pickled red onions, flaky sea salt, and fresh cilantro. So good.* From Molly: I've been slathering on this body oil after time in the sun this week — it's very luxurious feeling and makes my skin glowy! From Caro: Oh I love this too!!! It really does not make you feel oily at all, it absorbs so nicely.My publishers are dropping a few more advance reader copies of Make It Fast in the mail to some of my media/Internet friends this week, and I told them to save some for WTCers!! We are going to mail three of you a copy of Make It Fast, along with a Butter Pants spatula and a Caraway kitchen timer! To enter to win, comment on this post with the meal you cook most often when you absolutely do not feel like cooking. It doesn't have to be from scratch! For example, mine has historically been frozen dumplings and peanut sauce, and Molly's is pasta with Rao's marinara and frozen meatballs. Comment between now and August 10 — we will randomly select three winners next Tuesday, August 11, and alert them by Substack DM! Every week, we dig into the What To Cook archives to see what we were cooking this time in years past — the recipes worth bringing back into your rotation. Here's this week's lineup. 1. salmorejo, 2025Oooh, this is such a good one. Traditional salmorejo! From José Andrés! If you have boatloads of ripe tomatoes that need to be used up, make this creamy chilled tomato soup. It gets its creaminess in part from blended artisanal bread, so if you have any leftover sourdough from this week's summer shrimp panzanella, use it here! 2. skillet cheddar turkey burgers, 2024Juicy, cheesy turkey burgers seared in a skillet and served with a tangy, punchy burger sauce — this recipe (which is an excerpt from What to Cook the book #1!) is just so good. Go classic with buns, or shake things up and make sliders for a party, meatballs for dipping, or crumbled patties in pita for lunch the next day.3. turkey meatballs with corn butter rice, 2023These juicy turkey meatballs are packed with flavor, but the real star of the show is the buttery corn-studded rice. It's sweet, savory, summer perfection. While you're cooking, double the meatballs and freeze half for later — future you will be thrilled.4. healthy (or not as healthy…) corn chowder, 2022Sweet corn gets blended into a creamy, cozy chowder that tastes like summer in a bowl. Keep it light with coconut milk, or go richer with heavy cream — both versions are equally delicious. Make it on a Sunday and thank yourself all week — it reheats beautifully and somehow tastes even better on day two.5. sheet-pan crispy pork chops with fennel and peaches, 2021These roasted peaches are iconic — soft, jammy, and caramelized at the edges. Add in sweet, roasty red onions and fennel, plus golden, crispy pork chops, and you've got an easy dinner that feels delightfully fancy. The method works just as well with chicken breasts or sausages if that's what you've got.We use affiliate links when sharing product recs, which means WTC may earn a small commission off of purchases you make through those links.

Nathan Evans Fox is a singer, songwriter, thinker, activist, and all around bad ass from North Carolina who is doing what I see as crucial work. We get into so many reasons why in this episode. His incredible record Heirloom, which is probably my favorite of the year. His must read Substack, which includes his anti-confederate book club. His advocacy for working class Appalachian folks. I am continually impressed by Nathan and am grateful for the time and energy he shared with us.

Kentucky's Jeptha Creed Distillery grows all of its corn on the Nethery family's farm nearby, including heirloom grains like Bloody Butcher (red corn) and Bruce's Blue, a strain of blue corn developed on the farm by Bruce Nethery and the inspiration for the new Bruce's Blue Bourbon.  The mother and daughter team of Joyce and Autumn Nethery run the distillery, which attracts thousands of visitors every year. We'll talk with Joyce Nethery on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, an unnamed buyer has been found for Uncle Nearest, while layoffs and lawsuits spread around Bourbon Country. We'll have details on the week's new whiskies, including the return of Bruichladdich's legendary Yellow Submarine Scotch.
