Come on in 'The Kitchn'
Each week we round up our favorite posts and recipes from our friends at The Kitchn.

This week, the Kitchn reveals a recipe secret for ice cream involving just one ingredient. Ridiculous, right? No intimidating ice cream makers needed either! Just freeze a banana, blend it all up, and bam. Somehow the result is rich, creamy ice cream.
Also on the Kitchn, Southern cheese straws, advice for eating spicy foods, what rice to use in Mexican horchata, and a dessert version of balsamic vinegar.
- Party Snack: Edna Lewis' Old-Fashioned Cheese Straws: There are normal straws, and then there are cheese straws, something like Goldfish crackers in stick form.
- Can't Take the Heat? How to Eat Spicy Foods: A guide to keeping calm while you're sweating and slightly disoriented from chili peppers.
- Making Horchata: Which Rice Is Best?: Most recipes for the refreshing Mexican drink call for generic long grain white rice, which yields a more authentic flavor than basmati, or long grain brown rice.
- Ingredient Spotlight: Saba: The balsamic vinegar cousin is sweet and syrupy enough to drizzle over fruits and cheeses.
