The Post Up | Midweek Musings

Free Delivery | No Code Required [Postmates]( Bite-sized news we think you’ll like [The PostUp] Hey there. How have your socially-distanced picnics been going? You’re probably like us: Happy to be outside, but not so happy to miss out on that awesome cheeseboard that’s on your friend’s blanket. We’re all learning lessons, and we’ve actually got a few of them here in the Post Up for you. So give it a read and if you venture out again this weekend, be prepared, be safe, and be the friend with the cheeseboard. And, oh yeah. When you get to the bottom, there’s a special offer just for you. List Time Quick Bites - This Mushroom is Magic: Thanks to @samykamkar, now we know chocolate [turns into a shimmery rainbow]( when it’s “forcefully molded onto a diffraction grating” (whatever that means). - We’ll Miss You, Jerry: Comedic icon Jerry Stiller passed away this week at 92. [Here he is]( absolutely cracking up Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a Seinfeld outtake. - Are You Up for the Challenge? This [500-piece, double-sided puzzle]( has been deemed nearly impossible. That kind of makes us want to do it even more. - Peanut Taco Friday: Apparently Swedes have been staying in on Friday nights and [making weird tacos]( for decades. - Times Like These: Foo Fighter [Dave Grohl has penned]( an article about live music’s past, present, and future. - Bored with Beer? Probably not. But just in case, [spice up your life]( by adding hot sauce, pickle juice, or Worcestershire to your suds. - Gossip’s Not all Bad: We don’t make [the rules]( we just follow them. XOXO, Postmates. Laughter is the Best Want to Hear Something Funny? [Comedy Club] It might not seem like there’s a lot to joke about these days, but a good belly laugh is exactly what you need. So here are some ways to crack up, laugh ‘til it hurts, and ROFLMAO. Whether your teammate always had the best comebacks or you’re the funniest of the bunch, there’s a special comedic energy with your coworkers that Zoom just can’t recreate. So pick a ‘workplace comedy’ from this [NYT list]( (we’re partial to Brooklyn 99) and pretend you’re part of the group. Then pull up an uncomfortable chair way too close to the stage because New York Comedy Club has started [NYCC @ Home](. Watch the live comedy show enough times and you might think you have what it takes—like this [Dad from Maryland](. His arsenal of daily Dad jokes are so bad, they’re good. But hey, at least he’s making people laugh. Tastes Like Travel Your Tastebuds Need a Vacation Imagine this: Your couch isn’t just your couch. Depending on what you order for dinner, it can be a bench in Central Park or a balcony in Maui. Yeah, that’s super cheesy. But all of your vacation plans got canceled and you still need to have some fun. If you live in Portland, OR, order from [Grant's Philly Cheesesteak]( and pretend you’re visiting the Liberty Bell. Get The Whiz (Cheez Whiz, sautéed onions, sweet and cherry peppers on an Amoroso roll) to complete the experience. Sorry you had to cancel your plans to see The Bean this summer. At least you can still get some of Chicago’s famous deep-dish pizza. In LA, we like [Froman’s Chicago Deep Dish Pizza](. Get Da’ Ferris Wheel with mozzarella, black olives, mushrooms, red onion, mixed peppers, and homemade tomato sauce. The trip to Hawaii can wait, but you need Spam Musubi right now. In California’s East Bay, [Wiki Wiki Hawaiian BBQ]( is the place to try this Hawaiian favorite, along with Kalua Pork and Pork Lau Lau. Delivery Deals Get Something Tasty Ready to eat?

It might be because you finally have time to make that recipe you never forgot about, or maybe you just read cookbooks like normal books ([it’s a thing now](. Either way, the humble cookbook has come to stand for a lot more the past couple of months. Restaurants—like [this group]( in Austin—have been getting creative and giving away their recipes to support their local communities. Other chefs are sharing how good cookbooks (with great photos) make them [feel better]( and more connected. And even if flipping through the pages isn’t your style, there’s still a good chance you’re getting more use out of your cookbooks these days. They come in handy to stack on top of each other for your new WFH monitor stand or to prop a door open. We have a feeling they’re more than happy to help. Welcome Distractions Name That Food [Distractions] What the heck is this a picture of? You’re going to be surprised when you realize what deliciousness is waiting behind the pixelation.
