Over the last three weeks you’ve cleaned your appliances, decluttered and restocked the pantry, and wiped out all the cupboards. Now you’re in the home stretch of The Kitchn Cure, the final week, which means addressing the only areas we haven’t hit yet: the sink, countertops, and floor. So, take a deep breath, pull on those rubber gloves, and remind yourself that you can totally do this. Let’s start with the sink area:
If there’s one thing we love this time of year, it’s a cold and sparkling glass of sangria or fruity cocktail, poured from a pitcher large enough to share.
Today we have 17 favorites for you, from the boozy to the non, from sparkling peach sangria to the classic Hurricane, and strawberry gin smash to spicy ginger lemonade. There’s even a non-alcoholic sangria. None of these take too much work or too much time; they’re just easygoing, easy-sipping summer drinks for a long weekend. Pour a pitcher and relax!
It’s the final days of August and I confess that I’m ready for the fall. I’ve become watchful, alert to subtle shifts and signals: the changing light, the shorter days, a touch of something in the air. This morning, in the courtyard out my back door, I notice that a few of the green apples on my neighbor’s tree, the ones that are up high and facing south, have taken on a touch of rose. Around the corner, the persimmon tree sags under its load of hard fruit, grown to the right size but still firm and a deep, unripened shade of green. In the market, I keep a keen eye out for the first of the winter squash even as I’m filling up sacks of bargain-priced, summer-glut tomatoes.
We’re so interested by how things are made — not just food, but the tools we use. Here’s a look at how cast iron skillets are made in Tennessee, with some tips and expert advice we picked up along the way from Lodge. Learn what factory-seasoning actually means, the best way to clean your skillet, and a few myths about cooking in cast iron.

Q: I’m in the process of setting up a makeshift kitchen in our living room to help us get through an upcoming renovation. We’ll have a toaster oven, microwave, electric kettle and slow cooker set up in our living room.
