Sometimes I make a dish and realize that I’ll never have to experiment with another version of the recipe again: the one I just made is the only one I need. This broccoli-cheddar soup is one such dish. As a kid, I’d ladle out massive quantities of broccoli-cheddar soup when we went to buffets like [...]
You say tomato, I say tomahto. No, actually I say: I don’t care how you pronounce it; can I have one?

In the middle of our trek from Massachusetts back to Brooklyn, we stopped at our favorite ‘pick-me-up’ coffee shop: The Edge in Providence.
