Every Friday morning, Bon Appétit senior staff writer Alex Beggs shares weekly highlights from the BA offices, from awesome new recipes to office drama to restaurant recs, with some weird (food!) stuff she saw on the internet thrown in. It gets better: If you sign up for our newsletter, you'll get this letter before everyone else.

Is anyone even reading this thing? It’s a holiday weekend and hopefully you’re at the beach, or inside a freezing movie theater, or hosting an illegal lemonade stand. I won’t tell! And since no one’s looking, I put together a brief summer mood board for this week’s newsletter. Nothing links back to a Bon Appétit recipe, or teaches you a cooking tip, or reveals which BA staffer is a snow-cone-hating monster. And I definitely wrote this in the bathtub. My editor’s on vacation!!!
Okay, okay, here are some recipes:
Drink a southside. Pass around slices of this tomato pie during cocktail hour. Grill some tamarind-glazed ribs. A side of ice water salad. Consider custard. Return to icebox cake. Make plans for cheese balls. Coat your insides with buttermilk ranch. And please don’t sleep on this GRILLED CABBAGE.
