Daily Brew // Morning Brew // Update
Our favorite summer recipes, products, and reads...

Good morning. You’ve got three pounds of leftover potato salad to get through and at least three rogue roman candle shells to hunt down in the yard, so we’re keeping today’s newsletter a casual read. It’s full of some of our favorite long reads, product recommendations, and weird videos—including some of our top-clicked recs ever—from our internet rabbit hole to yours, so you can procrastinate cleaning up from your Fourth of July party.
