Issue 48 | August 22, 2020
You read The Post Up, so you must want to know things. And boy, do we have some things for you to know. Cake you can drink? Weâre talking about it. Soup thatâs cold? Weâve got that too. Hmm, sounds curious. Guess youâre just going to have to give it a read before you order in with code: MILEY to get free delivery on 2 orders.

1. What We're Doing Tonight
[DC FanDome](
Is there a more perfect way to spend 24 hours than in a free, first-of-its-kind fan experience featuring exclusive DC content? You might even win a DC Prize Pack if you use code DCFANDOME on your Postmates order this weekendâcomplete with limited edition artwork created and signed by Jim Lee, a DC FanDome t-shirt and hat, plus a Funko Pop!
2. How We're Beating the Heat
Cold Soup
From Nevada to North Carolina, itâs been pretty darn hot lately. Sure you can throw on some shorts and crank up the fan, but thereâs a much tastier way to stay coolâgazpacho. [Gordon Ramseyâs recipe]( is our fave and this classic, cold soup is basically just a bunch of blended up veggies, so you can go to town. Better luck next summer, ice cream.
3. What We're Reading
Men to Avoid in Art and Life
Who doesnât love a good Twitter-to-book-deal story? [Nicole Tersigni's]( is especially sweet. The Detroit-based writer combined her irritating experiences with "mansplaining" and classic paintings to create new works of art. Her coffee table book, [Men to Avoid in Art and Life,]( strike a chord with any woman who's been told âYou look much prettier when you smile.â
4. How We're Happy Hour-ing
Infuse all the alcohol
Extra time at home means you get to play fancy cocktail bartenderâagain. So give the G+T a rest and start [infusing]( things you drink with things you eat. How about adding grapefruits to tequila? âYum,â youâll say. âThis is so refreshing, what took me so long?â But call us when you start steeping jalapeños in vodka. New Bloody Mary achievement level, unlocked.
5. What Weâre Giving to Our Frenemies
Turkey Dinner Candy Corn
We have one question for the evil geniuses behind Brach's new [Turkey Dinner Candy Corn]( Why? And before you start visualizing this candy catastrophe, no itâs not one piece of candy with all the Thanksgiving flavors rolled into one. Every handful has pieces that taste like green beans, roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, glazed carrot, sweet potato pie, and stuffing. What, no corn?
6. What Weâre Wearing
Sweatpants
Are you wearing sweatpants or are the sweatpants wearing you? Either way, youâre not alone. [Sales of sweatpants are through the roof]( up 80% in recent months. The crowd favorite is [Entireworld]( fancy sweat sets that keep selling out. The hype is real. Real comfortable, that is.
7. What We're Drinking
Solid foods
[Portilloâs]( is a Chicago mainstay, famous for serving up local delicacies like hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches. But the undisputed champ of the menu isnât covered in mustard or relish, itâs the [Chocolate Cake Shake](. With an entire slice of freshly baked cake and plenty of vanilla ice cream, one sip of this shake and youâll never look at baked goods the same.
8. What Weâre Playing
Fall Guys
Surprising no one, lately thereâs been a [massive surge]( in video game consoles and time spent gaming. The latest game we canât put down? The fairly ridiculous [Fall Guys](. You complete silly challenges with up to 60 wobbly players in hopes of being the last one standing. Wacky and colorful for kids, challenging for adultsâthis addicting game is the great equalizer.
9. What We're Looking Forward To
Fields of psychedelic cotton
Science has its moments, and we're especially psyched about what some [Australian scientists are doing with cotton]( in the lab. They've genetically modified the plant to produce in a rainbow of colors (well, red, gold, purple, and black so far) with the hope that the cotton could one day be grown au natural. So in the future, the fashion industry could skip the toxic dye process and you just might have a sweet new Instagram background.
10. Who's Reuniting
Miley Cyrus and the VMAs
A match made in pop music heaven, Miley Cyrus will be catching up with her old buddy, the [MTV VMAs]( on Monday, August 30. Bonus: This reunion comes with the first-ever live performance of Mileyâs new single, âMidnight Sky.â Who knows what will happen once she hits the stage.
