Mark Bittman does it again. This looks like a fantastic summer pasta dish, and a great way to use a glut of fresh herbs from your garden!
Gothamist gives some interesting history on 7-11 stores in their post on FREE SLURPEES TODAY!! Would that there was a 7-11 near me. I love Slurpees, but I am not sure it is worth going out of my way for a free one.
Again with the Slurpees. Serious Eats has a great story on how to pull a proper one. As a child of the sub-suburbs, I can wholeheartedly concur with the advice! They also include a handy list of NY 7-11 locations.
Midtown Lunch samples an off-menu special sandwich at Blimpie. That’s right. Off menu. At Blimpie. Compliments to the chef are said to be in order.
Figs in a smoothie? Leave it to Chocolate & Zucchini! So unusual I just might need to try it. Also of note is Clothilde’s explanation of the varying ways the French pronounce the word “smoothie.” I am partial to smoo-fee.
I am with the Kitchn on the controversial slash mstunderstood vegetable okra. I think I shall buy some this weekend, assuming the farmer’s market has some.

Thanks for posting the link about “Hot to Pull a Proper Slurpee”. I had to laugh – my kids were down at the 7-11 today, getting free Slurpees! What a deal.
