| WHAT TO COOK | | Vegan Mac and Cheese — Dairy-Free Can Be Delish. Cheese is right there in the name, but it turns out this staple comfort food can still be yummy without the main ingredient. Nuts provide the creamy base to this simple sauce, which is colored and flavored with carrot — and a hint of nutmeg. Serve it over the pasta of your choice and don’t tell your dinner guests it’s made with plants until they’re having seconds. | |
| The Food Lab Cookbook — Snacks for Scientists. This is a gigantic tome, even by cookbook standards, running more than 900 pages. But it’s worth it for a certain kind of mind: Author J. Kenji López-Alt isn’t satisfied with old family recipes and received wisdom, choosing instead to delve into the science behind virtually every recipe and taking the reader through the arduous testing process to make, for example, the perfect chip. | |
| Nutella Popsicles — For When It’s Too Hot. It’s August and you can’t even muster the energy to chop a salad, much less cook. But these two-ingredient popsicles are doable even during a heatwave. Mix one part Nutella to two parts chocolate milk with a spoon (or in a blender if you have one), pour into popsicle molds and freeze. Then eat them all. | SUGGESTED BY: /Chocoholic |

| | | | | | Don’t expect an ice cap to hide your secret military base. Climate change will find you out. During the Cold War, the U.S. built a research station in Greenland … that was also intended to house nuclear missiles. When engineering issues closed down Camp Century in 1966, it was assumed that the ice cap would eventually bury it, along with all of its pollutants (e.g., radioactive residue). But with recent record ice melts, the base is actually now drifting toward the cap’s edge. There’s no imminent danger as it has 60 miles to go, but a key question: Who’s going to clean it up before it gets there? | SOURCE: BBC |
