It’s been a busy summer in The Scholarly Kitchen, and we’re taking the last week of August off. This week we’ll be honoring the great network television tradition of summer reruns, revisiting some selected posts from the past that we thought were worth a new round of consideration.

We’ll be back after the Labor Day holiday, enjoy your summer while it lasts.

One benefit of summer was that each day we had more light to read by.
