Interesting stuff at Fooducate this week. Papayas! The new Special K Protein cereal – will it really satisfy your hunger longer? (Bear in mind that the average American consumes substantially more than the RDA for protein.) Upsizing portion sizes, and how you can make people order a bigger portion by labeling it “small” or “medium”: in a study at Cornell University, “A group of subjects were fed either one or two cups of pasta. Some of the two-cup servings were listed as 'normal', and some were listed as 'double size'. The people consuming a two cup portion labelled as 'normal' ate much more than their counterparts who saw the 'double size' label.” And researchers have conclusively demonstrated what we at WW have known for years: drinking water helps you to lose weight.
Slater's 50/50, a restaurant chain in California, is offering (or offered, for Independence Day) the most horrifying culinary object ever put on a plate: a bacon burger, and by that I mean a patty made entirely out of bacon topped with a slice of bacon, a fried egg, a slice of bacon cheddar, and bacon Thousand Island dressing. On a bacon bun. I'm really not very hungry any more. And Summer Tomato offers “7 Habits of Highly Effective Foodists”.
Recipes! Chow.com has twenty-five salads that can be main courses, thirty things to do with or to bell peppers, grilled side dishes, and a Bastille Day picnic. (Allons, enfants du patrie!) Also an avocado corn salsa (that somehow made it into the print version as "scorn salad", forgive me), grilled shrimp tacos, and an ultra-simple heirloom tomato salad. Simply Recipes has a tuna-salad alternative (this one is Asian-influenced) and a turkey-and-zucchini burger. From Smitten Kitchen, dry-rub barbecued chicken in the oven; from Michael Ruhlman, wheatberry salad. And over at Snack Girl there's a corn salad ideal for potluck barbecues, a roundup of fast healthy snacks, and the perfect breakfast for an Arizona summer: a half banana doused in yogurt, rolled in granola and frozen! (“Why does this work? First, it is cold which will feel good in this summer heat. Secondly, it is fun. Everything is more fun served on a popsicle stick (I am looking at you Filet Mignon).”)
Today is Pick Blueberries Day and also National Piña Colada Day, a combination that strikes me as having potential. Blue piña coladas. Tomorrow is National Mojito Day, the 14th is National Grand Marnier Day – I hereby declare this National It's Too Damn Hot To Do Anything But Drink Week. Or eat ice-cream, the 16th being both National Ice-Cream Day and National Ice-Cream Sundae Day, followed immediately by National Peach Ice-Cream Day.

'St. Swithin’s day, gif ye do rain,
for forty days it will remain;
St. Swithin’s day, an ye be fair,
for forty days ’twill rain nae mair.'
