your next mission:

meltdown!There’s solid and there’s liquid, and then there’s a delicious in-between. Your mission this week is to enjoy a food that’s melted. Show us what puts the

mmm in melty, from flowing chocolate to fun fondue, and from gooey grilled cheese sandwiches to marvellous melted butter. Whatever it may be, share

the oozy foods you love most.

mission inspirationWhat’s the best thing about a grilled cheese sandwich? That’s obvious: the melty cheese. What’s the best kind

of grilled cheese sandwich? That’s a toughie, but Gastroposter Nimu Ganguli has quite the response with this number, which he

describes as “a decadent bone marrow grilled cheese with melted Swiss gruyère cheese and roasted

fig.” Perhaps you’d like to complete this week’s mission with a melty sandwich of your own?

I would cease to live without fresh, bright cilantro. No cilantro would mean no ceviche, and that is just unacceptable.
