Round-up: slurpees on 7/11; Alton Brown; and a little tomato!

I have a little green tomato! Okay, I should save the vegetable rambling for another post, but I'm very excited. (I haven't posted about my first-time container gardening adventures yet because I was afraid of total failure, but now I have a little green tomato!)

Anyway...

• Once again 7/11 is upon us, so stop by your 7-11 on Friday for a free 7.11 oz slurpee.
• Sticking to the food theme, yet another reason Alton Brown is awesome: "I've spent the last nine years influencing what people do with food, but I haven't taught them about the real essence of feeding themselves, and I feel that it's high time to step up to bat," he says. "I've been busy being clever, but now I want to use what credibility I may have to help people think about sustainability."
