W³P Weekend Open Thread - Apocalypse Summer Survival Edition

So ... how about 2020 y'all? What a year. We started off with Australia on fire, then WW III was scheduled and then cancelled, then the Kung Flu hit and brought lockdowns, now we have race riots, more Kung Flu, pancake syrup and rice have been cancelled, and China and India are trying to get WW III back on the schedule of events.

I'm not even going to be surprised when the aliens land; although, they're probably just watching right now saying, "WTF, let's skip this place and hit up the next planet." So, since it's been such a weird and stressful year, and it's been a hot minute since our last open thread, let's forget all of that for a while, look at some Summer recipes, watch a few cute doggo and kitty videos, listen to some music and just hang out.

Let's pick up right where we left off with a new Sam the Cooking Guy video. I'm addicted to this guy's channel. After that we'll look at a tasty summer cocktail ... something different than what everyone else is posting about ... mojitos and margaritas and whatnot. Once the food is done I've got a few posts from the subreddit r/aww for you.

Everyone's favorite part. Let's get right to it.
