Good morning. It’s Birds vs. Chiefs this evening and great swaths of the nation will be watching the game, taking in the hits and the ads, looking for Taylor Swift in the crowd, wondering what Kendrick Lamar will do at halftime, wondering if Kansas City can three-peat a National Championship against its rivals from Philadelphia.
This’ll be true even of those who don’t generally follow the N.F.L. The Super Bowl’s an American holiday. Close to 124 million people watched last year. And man, do they chow down when they do. Take it with a grain of salt (maybe a dollop of blue cheese dressing, too), but the National Chicken Council estimates that we’ll eat 1.47 billion chicken wings during tonight’s game.
I eat enough wings already that I’m going to pass on them tonight. Instead, I’ll put out this terrific jalapeño-corn dip (above) from Melissa Knific with a mess of chips, and follow it up with ham and cheese sliders and frosted sugar cookies for dessert. Winners all.

Yasmin Khan’s recipe for roasted cauliflower soup, adapted by Mayukh Sen, is a gently spiced Palestinian stew, redolent with cumin and coriander, that’s thick, velvety and, importantly, easy to make. Don’t stint on the spices, nor on the almonds scattered over the soup when it’s done.
Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
