Did you watch our video last week on boiling water? (If you missed it, do watch — it was a tone poem, in water, narrated by Emma.) I loved this comment from a reader on how to tell the difference between simmering and boiling water.

This is the macaroni and cheese recipe I grew up on — creamy sauce, chewy pasta, and plenty of cheese. It always felt like a special treat to us kids, although I suspect my mother liked it more because it was an easy stovetop dish that required almost no thought to pull together at the end of a long day.

Whatever the reason, whatever the occasion, a bowl of this mac and cheese will always spell comfort. Here’s the best, most classic recipe I know, with step-by-step pictures to guide you.

There’s always been this oft-recited piece of advice about oysters: Only eat oysters in months that contain the letter “R” in the name. You know, September, October, December, January. Not June, July, August.

But if this is true, how do millions of restaurants sell them year-round to people who seem just fine after eating them? If we’ve been eating oysters all summer, have we been putting our health at risk? I put the question to two oyster experts: Chris Sherman at Island Creek Oysters and Rowan Jacobsen, author of A Geography of Oysters. Here’s what they had to say.

My kids know what they like. One of the things they like is steak; another is burgers. We don’t eat a ton of red meat, so it’s a pretty great night when we fire up the grill. But sometimes it rains, so they know steak and burgers can be cooked on the stovetop in an emergency. (Is there such a thing as a steak or burger emergency? For a growing kid, quite possibly.)

Perhaps in anticipation of not always owning a grill, my son wanted to know how to achieve a similar result on the stove.
