I needed to take a beat last week after the election, as some of us had to, but the world still spins and life goes on. Stay present, acknowledge the feelings, and walk right through them.
And now lessons from a food editor with Kysha Harris…
What do Easter, July 4th, September, Christmas, and all four seasons have in common? Yes, it’s as obvious as you think. All of these occur annually. For publishers and content makers, they are known as evergreen. This means, like the always green tree, these annual moments remain relevant year in and year out to readers.
Content publishers pull out these stories seasonally and make them new to create a library of content guaranteed to perform every year. So my Thanksgiving in July? article is playing evergreen “freaky friday” with ice cream in November, thanks to the wizardry of Salt & Straw.

Known for their unique and quirky flavor combinations, like the strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper I tried in Los Angeles, Salt & Straw has released their Thanksgiving Series for the month of November. We are talking all, not just the sweet, of the flavors of a traditional Thanksgiving meal:
- Parker House Rolls with Salted Buttercream — Buttery, toasted rolls topped with flakey sea salt are folded into sweet salted butter ice cream.
Here is the best part. I have missed this offering for over a decade but Salt & Straw just opened their first NYC location on the Upper West Side, 360 Amsterdam Avenue at 77th Street. Unlike other shops, you’re highly encouraged to taste all of the things, cosigned by an actual sign that reads “We Highly Recommend Tasting It All” — so shame be damned! In addition, from Nov. 21-24, you can get one FREE pint for each three pints purchased when ordering via local delivery on www.saltandstraw.com. A fun treat for your Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving alike.
THANKSGIVING SHOUT OUT! To all my non-cookers, singles, and anti-holiday peoples – I see you! I checked out the Thanksgiving offerings from America’s #1 (and mine) chef-crafted meal delivery service, CookUnity (www.cookunity.com), and they are on point. Like dishes from chefs Larry and Marc Forgione (Forge, Peasant, One Fifth), their slow roasted turkey with sage gravy had me doing a mouth double take. Savory, moist, well-seasoned goodness. But wait! There’s more from other NYC chefs too! Sign up and get you some!
Happy eating and thanks for reading!
