Bittman Does It Again
Do not miss The New York Times' Minimalist column from July 2: Mark Bittman's 101 20-Minute Dishes for Inspired Picnics. Following the same "cook this, mix with this, call it that" formula of his popular 101 Simple Meals in 10 Minutes or Less list from last summer, it is chock full of yummy suggestions and is also peppered with little Bittman witticisms. Such as idea #88: Cook peeled shrimp; little ones are best. Toss with pesto: lots. Put on small rolls. (In fact: cook anything; toss with pesto: lots. Put on small rolls.)
Like last summer's list, I think a lot of these "recipes" would also make great dinners on those nights when it's too hot to cook and even the usual suspects from the takeout-menu file sound like too much.

I'm definitely saving that section... I love picnics, and that's my kind of food!
Had fun meeting you at Blogher this weekend.
